At this point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, you’re either in for the long haul or you’ve checked out. Personally, I still get excited for these movies. That being said, I’ll be the first to admit that the series has been hit-and-miss since the last Avengers film.
Read MoreRegular Show: The Complete Series (2025)
For years, Regular Show has been a staple in my household. My son, Danger, and I have bonded over its hilarious, offbeat adventures, finding joy in both the moments we laugh at together and the ones we appreciate in our own ways. Now, with the release of Regular Show: The Complete Series on DVD, we get to relive those experiences all over again—this time with all 245 episodes, special features, and even the Regular Show movie included.
Read MorePeter Pan's Neverland Nightmare (2025)
Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare is a bold and macabre reimagining of J.M.

Read MoreSurvival Quest (1989) #RetroReview
Known primarily for Phantasm and The Beastmaster, filmmaker Don Coscarelli ventured into new territory with 1989’s Survival Quest. While not his most renowned film, it’s an enjoyable experience for fans of wilderness survival stories and marks a significant anniversary—its 35th on November 10th. Leading the cast is the ever-engaging Lance Henriksen, supported by Dermot Mulroney and a young Catherine Keener, whose future success adds intrigue to her early performance here.
Read MoreStargate (1994) #RetroReview
Despite having a fairly large budget for its day, Roland Emmerich’s Stargate from 1994 never feels as big as it should. The script, co-written by Emmerich and frequent collaborator Dean Devlin, is also pretty straightforward and predictable. That being said, I’ve enjoyed revisiting it here and there over the years.
Read MoreAd Astra (2019)
Initial reviews were all over the place for 2019’s Ad Astra. I hadn’t seen any of writer/director James Gray’s previous efforts either, so while I was interested in seeing the movie just based on the trailer and general premise, I had fairly low expectations. When I finally checked out the 4K UHD, though, I ended up loving it.
Read MoreBookworm (2024) #FantasticFest
Bookworm, directed by Ant Timpson, delivers a charming and heartfelt adventure that manages to blend quirky humor, family dynamics, and a touch of magic in an unexpectedly delightful package. Set against the backdrop of New Zealand's lush landscapes, the film tells the story of Mildred, brilliantly portrayed by Nell Fisher, a clever and guarded girl on a mission to find the mythological Canterbury Panther. The stakes are personal: her mother is in the hospital, and Mildred hopes that a picture of the elusive beast will help her claim a reward large enough to cover the medical bills.
