Scream Factory is releasing two beautiful black & white William Castle productions, released by Columbia in 1959 (Tingler) and 1964 (S-J). While neither are films to which I’d normally gravitate, each have a myriad of fans, and thus, their quality needs to be reported here. Let’s begin with The Tingler, […]

Muppet Babies gets a reboot in this new animated series airing on Disney Junior, and the studio has now released a handful of episodes in a new DVD collection, Muppet Babies: Time to Play!
Indicator’s FOOTSTEPS IN THE FOG
Does anyone else have this? I’ve been very happy with their releases in general, but this one looks quite off to me. I know they can only use the transfers the licensors provide them with, but this looks little better than the DVD-R Columbia released a few years ago in […]

Avengers: Infinity War UHD Review
Marvel’s box-office behemoth, Avengers: Infinity War, tries to cram all of your favorite MCU characters (except two) into one giant movie, and does so rather spectacularly, paying off what was set in motion at the end of 2012’s The Avengers.
‘Six People Cut the Cord Every Minute’
According to Bloomberg, Americans are canceling their pay-TV subscriptions at the rate of six people per minute. The global news and financial data provider says that the reasons consumers are abandoning cable subscriptions are not a mystery, seeing as they’re ‘expensive’ and there are cheaper alternatives everywhere.

Predator UHD Review
Predator has a very special place in my heart. I love the film. I love everything about it and can watch it once or twice a year with the same engagement and thrill as if it were my first time. And I know I am not alone. There are legions […]
A few words about…™ Taboo — in Blu-ray
While I’m a huge fan of Tom Hardy’s work, I somehow missed Taboo, which arrived via FX in January of 2017, and ran for eight episodes. It wasn’t until my son mentioned it, presuming that I was aware, that I quickly ordered a copy. In short, the series, which is […]
A few words about…™ Predator (3-Movie Collection) — in 4k UHD Blu-ray
Unfortunately, there’s both good and bad news for fans of the Predator series, as Fox releases its new 4k home theater variant. Let’s get the bad out of the way first. At just under $50 for the three films at street price, this is a fair deal, but it guarantees […]

NCIS: The Fifteenth Season DVD Review
Even after fifteen seasons on the air, CBS’ NCIS, despite its formulaic procedural structure, managed to evolve its characters and stories, introduce new members to the team, and sadly bid goodbye to some others.
A few words about…™ Deep Rising — in Blu-ray
My notes on Deep Rising may or may not be helpful, as I’m seeing a bit of controversy as to what this release from Kino Lorber might, might not be, or in fact – is. My problem is that I have no point of reference on this film, and can […]

My Universal Wish List From the Kino Deal
If you hate lists, please move on rather than simply criticizing this one. Thanks. Now that Kino has told us there are 100 films in their new Universal deal, I have pulled that studio’s titles from my wist list and am replicating it below. Obviously, those in the spirit of […]
