I had the pleasure of being one of the judges for the CE Week 2017 TV Shootout in NYC today. I flew in earlier in the week to be part of the calibration of the 6 UHD HDR 65” TV sets on Tuesday. The TV Shootout originated from our friend […]
Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack Blu-ray Review
There is a lot of energy and athletic dexterity displayed in the cheer routines created for Robert Adetuyi’s Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack, but that’s just about all this made-for-home video sixth continuation of the Bring It On franchise can offer its obvious preteen target audience.
Hopscotch Blu-ray Review
Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson are deliriously reunited in Ronald Neame’s Hopscotch, a slight but stylish comedy caper film with Matthau at his drollest.
Son of Paleface Blu-ray Review
A wacky follow-up to one of Bob Hope’s funniest and most popular movies, Frank Tashlin’s Son of Paleface routes its own course through screwball antics and lots of sight gags emerging as probably Bob Hope’s best comedy of the 1950s.

NCIS: Los Angeles – Season 8 DVD Review
Unquestionably the most creative and enjoyable season of NCIS: Los Angeles in many years, season eight made forward movements for all of its many characters and featured interesting and surprisingly well-plotted surprises for viewers that made keeping up with the season pure pleasure.
The Noose Hangs High Blu-ray Review
Though its title suggests possibly a western motif, Charles Barton’s The Noose Hangs High is instead another Abbott and Costello comedy lark this time set in the world of gamblers and bookies.
Alien: Covenant UHD Review
Offering the origin story of its infamously designed and executed creatures, Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant offers a few surprises while mainly covering some very well-trod and overly familiar ground.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 UHD Review
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 may not quite reach the levels of freshness and attitude that distinguished its surprising parent film, but this latest installment still manages to pack a more than adequate amount of entertainment value within its confines.
Murdoch Mysteries: Season 10 Blu-ray Review
Murdoch Mysteries remains one the classiest and most enjoyable of police procedurals with luscious period production detail, warm and wonderful performances, and some crafty mysteries designed to test the little gray cells of us all.
Frankie and Johnny (1966) Blu-ray Review
Frederick de Cordova’s Frankie and Johnny, a musical suggested by the old blues chestnut, is basically a film empty of fresh ideas and is decidedly an unimaginative entertainment.

Duel in the Sun Blu-ray Review
King Vidor’s Duel in the Sun is one of the more notorious epics of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and Kino Lorber’s Studio Classics line of releases brings the roadshow edition of this classic with most of its Technicolor splendor intact to high definition with some informative bonus material.
Snatched UHD Review
A return to the screen after fifteen years of beloved comedy veteran Goldie Hawn and the presence of known comedy entities like Amy Schumer, Joan Cusack, and Wanda Sykes give the promise of something wonderful in Jonathan Levine’s Snatched, but it’s a promise that’s only fitfully fulfilled.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul Blu-ray Review
The law of diminishing returns usually comes to most film series, and it’s no different with David Bowers’ The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, the fourth in the series of films based on the comic adolescent cartoon novels by Jeff Kinney.
