Tyler Perry’s “Acrimony” has now hit Blu-ray shelves nationwide, and the big question may not be whether you should buy it (you shouldn’t), but whether you should remake the movie once you decide you don’t (again, you shouldn’t). In this… Read More ›
Armano Iannucci’s “The Death of Stalin” is now out on home video, and it’s a film well worth one’s time. Not only is it an exceptionally dark, terribly funny, film about the events surrounding Stalin’s death in 1950s’ Russia, it… Read More ›

Last week, I posted my review of “Love & Bananas: An Elephant Story.” This week, I’m fortunate enough to have the film’s director, Ashley Bell, on to discuss the documentary. As related by her, Bell’s story is an incredibly powerful,… Read More ›
For its 40th anniversary, “Grease” has gotten a pretty spiffy new Blu-ray edition. The real question though is whether or this classic movie musical is something best relegated to the dustbin of history or if it is still as slick… Read More ›
