Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story Hard As Steel Ultimate Edition makes its Blu-ray Steelbook arrival as a Walmart Exclusive. The film’s SteelBook upgrade from Mill Creek Entertainment comes as Walmart is feeling the void being left by Best Buy’s departure from physical media. Best Buy’s loss is Walmart’s gain. Anyway, this edition includes both the theatrical edition (96 minutes) and American Cox: The Unbearably Long, Self-Indulgent Director’s Cut. What follows is my original review…

The satire holds up ten years later in revisiting the long overdue 2013 Anchorman sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Nine years was a very long time to wait for the Channel 4 News Team to reunite but it was worth it. The first film became such a quotable classic that they had to wait for the right story to come together. When it comes to any sequel, filmmakers know that they cannot screw it…
"Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues Is Still Funny at 10 Years Old" John C. Reilly delivers an Oscar-worthy performance in the cult classic musical biopic spoof that is Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. While 2007 may have been the year of Judd Apatow, Walk Hard was not well-received by audiences. It’s since gone onto become a cult classic. I mean, the fact that we’re talking about this film on its 15th anniversary tells you the respect that it commands today. You cannot make a musical biopic…

Bridesmaids, the Oscar-nominated comedy classic directed by Paul Feig, marks the tenth anniversary of its theatrical release in 2011. It’s very hard to believe that it’s been ten years because it feels just like yesterday. The film, written by Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig, has withstood the test of time. Unlike some of the other films produced by Judd Apatow in the early 2000s, Bridesmaids managed to age particularly well. This film has been around…

Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar, the long awaited follow-up to Bridesmaids, is now available for audiences to watch on Blu-ray and DVD. It’s no joke that Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo gave us one of the funniest films of the 21st century. Of course, I’m talking about Bridesmaids. When I learned they were finally writing another film, I was very excited. Who wouldn’t be? I first watched the film towards the end…

After launching day-and-date in both theaters and HBO Max, fans can now bring Wonder Woman 1984 home to watch on home video. What follows is my original review of the film from its December launch: While Wonder Woman 1984 never quite lives up to its groundbreaking predecessor, it is still thrilling entertainment in its own right. I want to get this out of the way right now: I am judging the film on its own…
"Wonder Woman 1984 Is Now On Home Video" While Wonder Woman 1984 never quite lives up to its groundbreaking predecessor, it is still thrilling entertainment in its own right. Before I get started with the rest of my review: there is a mid-credits scene. Press screeners did not include any scene after the credits. This is the most important thing to know going into the film. I want to get this out of the way right now: I am judging the film on…

How To Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World is the rare third film that makes for a fitting conclusion by ending the series on a high note. It’s very rare in which I find myself wanting to cry at the end of a trilogy. This isn’t so much because I know it’s going to be the end of an era but more so because of how the final scenes are scripted. The series has…

Starring four of the funniest women on earth, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call honors the spirit of the 1984 classic film. While it would have been nice to have seen the likes of Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, and Winston Zeddemore pass the baton to a new generation, Harold Ramis’ death in 2014 would forever change the face of the franchise. Never mind just how hard it is getting Bill Murray to sign on board for anything. With that out…
