John Landis' Three Amigos comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original widescreen ratio of the 1986 theatrical release. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include cast and crew bios. This is obviously a title no one gave much thought to before releasing. It is redeemed slightly by the inexpensive list price, but the unimpressive picture and sound as well as the lack of extras is sure to displease fans of this cult favorite.

I’ve known about this film for years but saw it for the first time recently when I purchased it on Black Friday. The $1.99 price tag was too good to resist. Not my favorite John Landis movie (Coming To America is) but it is enjoyable and harkens back to a time when family comedies weren’t as corny as the ones you’ll see today. The highlight to me had to be the Blue Shadows scene. Even though it’s a musical number scene, it was quite heartwarming and really gets to the heart of what the film is- a nice, friendly film the whole family can watch and enjoy.
This release includes the complete first season of the Starz series Power, executive produced by Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. The series follows a New York City nightclub owner who doubles as a drug kingpin to an elite clientele, which could hinder his attempts to turn his legitimate business into a wide-ranging empire.

From executive producer, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, comes a show about a nightclub owner trying to go legit even though the streets keep calling and those closest to him are his greatest enemies. A tired concept but the writers make it work. Set in NYC with great performances from Omari Hardwick, Naturi Naughton, Lela Loren and Joseph Sikora. Fans of urban crime dramas will want to check this show out.

Hollywood remakes aren’t always that great but every once in a while, a good one comes along. It is one of the good ones. Much scarier than the original with standout performances by Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise the Dancing Clown and Stranger Thing’s Finn Wolfhard as the hilarious Richie. It fans, horror films fans should check this out.

I grew up watching the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and loved it as a kid. It’s not the kind of show that has aged well for me as an adult but I still remember what it meant to me as a child. This film draws upon some of the early magic of that first season and gives us a high powered, action packed blockbuster rendition. Zordon, Alpha 5, Rita Repulsa and even Goldar are here. I respect the fact that they catered to the younger generation as well as the older generation. Nothing breathtaking here but if you want some mindless, CGI filled nostalgia, it’s worth checking out.

While I don’t consider this a Top 3 Christopher Nolan film it is worth seeing as far as WWII films go. We all know the final results of the war with the Allied Powers winning but this film deals with a battle that was lost. English and French troops were trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk and looking for a way across the English Channel back to England. We see the fight from land, air and sea and we also learn important lessons as well- losing a battle doesn’t mean that the war is lost. Heroes can be regular citizens and those that survive a lost battle aren’t losers.

Based on the 90s anime of the same name, Hollywood has done it again and recreated a classic in their corporate, Starbucks latte image. While I admit that the film wasn’t nearly as terrible as I thought it would be (and it is visually impressive) what is missing here is the strong, philosophical subtext that the anime contained. It really examined the concept of humanity in a world with false bodies. No pun intended, but this film is literally a “shell” of the anime. I would recommend it for the CGI and for a random popcorn watch but if you like the original anime, stay away from this one.
Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, which brought him Oscars for both Best Picture and Best Director, comes to DVD with a fantastic 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been mixed in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles can be accessed. Sadly, the only supplemental materials are production notes. Considering this is a modern classic, one might hope that Warner Bros. and/or Eastwood might have offered more insight into its making. Still, the picture and sound are as good as one could hope for, making this a fine DVD for any collection.

I first saw this film years ago as a teenager. Initially, I didn’t like it but that was because I wasn’t ready for it then. Years have passed by, and after seeing many other Westerns, the film has finally clicked. It’s a film that is both the consummate Western but also Anti-Western. There’s a price to pay for being an outlaw and it isn’t pretty. A lot of legends are fabricated and killing a man isn’t as easy as it seems. It all builds up to one of the greatest gunfights in The Western genre. Highly recommend this film.

While I applaud Em for his decision to do more political type of Rap, he still employs the same tired formulas. Hyper fast delivery, mumbling over words with little to no meaning and even worse, he loaded this album with a bunch of Pop cameos. The songs sort of sound the same after a while. In fact, Em’s music has been really stagnant for a long time now. I’m not even sure why I bother anymore. I knew what I was going to get and I still went for it. I guess I’m insane.

I remember seeing this film at the movie theater when it originally came out. Back in those days, my life revolved around Marvel comics and basketball trading cards. It's a silly plot and not the kind of film that an adult could get into, but if you saw this as a kid, you'll love the nostalgic value of it all. Jordan in his prime, Looney Tunes, Bill Murray, Newman from Seinfeld- what's not to love? I held off on buying the Blu-Ray once I heard that there was going to be a Steelbook release. This case makes for a great collector's item and is a great addition to any Blu-Ray collection.
The first season of Vikings follows the warrior Ragnar as he explores distant and dangerous lands while hoping to pursue his destiny as a Viking chieftan, despite the forces at home who are determined to conspire against him.

I've heard lots of great things about this particular series. I was pleasantly surprised by the sets, story and characters. I think this show and The Last Kingdom should be watched consecutively since they deal with some of the same historical figures and eras in English history. I wouldn't say that it's better than Game of Thrones but it's a great show nonetheless.
