The Way, Way Back is a poignant coming-of-age story and marked the 10th anniversary of its theatrical release this past summer. This film is a case of awards making a difference. Searchlight considered going forward at one point in 2007. However, it wasn’t until Nat Faxon and Jim Rash won an Oscar for their work on The Descendants for things to start falling into place. That was what ultimately sealed the deal when it came…

The Ninja Turtles have come out of the sewer as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem makes its arrival on home video. Today’s release includes a 4K Ultra HD SteelBook, 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD. The film is already available on Digital in September. As far as animation goes, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem is one of the best films of the year. It is worth adding to your collection today. What follows is my review from…
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Arrives on Home Video" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem might be another reboot but the film is pure TMNT joy for any fan of the franchise. My apologies for being way too late to watching the new film. I could not attend the press screening because of the studio holding it on Shabbos. After the film opened, my schedule was a bit hectic. Anyway, it is now available to buy and rent on digital and streaming on Paramount+.…

Disenchanted, the long-overdue sequel to Disney’s 2007 hit film Enchanted, is finally making its arrival for audiences to watch on Disney+. I love Enchanted but I’m not quite sure that I’m at the same level for Disenchanted. Where the first film sees Disney go meta by doing a hybrid animated/live-action Disney Princess movie, the sequel does the same for villains. The fact that this film sees Amy Adams’ Giselle becoming the wicked stepmother is something…

Even though they unloaded the film onto Netflix, Sony Pictures Animation’s The Mitchells vs. The Machines hits Blu-ray with bonus content. Because Sony retained the home entertainment rights, film fans are all the better. It’s not often that a Netflix film gets a stacked home entertainment release. And yet, this film also comes with all NEW material including a short film. There’s also an extended cut including 40 minutes of deleted scenes. Trust me, you’re…

Luca, the Italian-set film from Pixar, is now available for audiences to watch at home on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. PSA: Please stick around for the credits as there is a post-credits scene. One can’t help but feel bad for Pixar on some level. This is the second consecutive Pixar film to go straight to streaming because of the pandemic. I don’t doubt that the film would have done solid box office.…

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…
"Bridesmaids Marks Its 10th Anniversary" Think of The Mitchells vs. The Machines as Her meets The Terminator in this all new star-studded comedy launching on Netflix. The Mitchells are an ordinary family doing ordinary things. They’re certainly like any other family. And yet, they’re going to find themselves having to save the world during the robot apocalypse (Ted Moseby voice: Kids, nobody ever learned anything while watching The Terminator). Anybody with a love of film will also find themselves resonating…
