Open House Pt 5 (House: the Collection)
For a long time, it was hard to come by the films in this set, outside of the first two which were more well known. Until Arrow came along, a complete blu-ray set seemed an unlikely scenario. Each disc comes in its own case… Continue Reading “Open House Pt 5 (House: the Collection)”

Oh the Horror! (Cats, 2019)

Trapped In a Fantasy (Isn’t It Romantic, 2019)
Rom Coms are an often maligned genre. Much like Horror, if a Rom Com is done well, people try and argue it is not really a Rom Com. This is a lot to do with the fact that Rom Coms have a pretty solid… Continue Reading “Trapped In a Fantasy (Isn’t It Romantic, 2019)”

Pokémon Is a Mystery (Pokémon Detective Pikachu, 2019)
I will be honest…I went into this film knowing very little. Pokémon rose to prominence at a time where it passed me right by. So, I sat in the theater basically knowing that Pokémon are super powered animal things that people catch or somethings.… Continue Reading “Pokémon Is a Mystery (Pokémon Detective Pikachu, 2019)”
Rebirth of the Demon (Hellboy, 2019)
For a time it appeared as if 2008’s Hellboy and the Golden Army was the last time we were going to see Hellboy on the big screen. But then, a few years ago, new talk of a third Hellboy film emerged. Guillermo Del Toro… Continue Reading “Rebirth of the Demon (Hellboy, 2019)”

Really quickly…this is my set-up: The Television: Samsung – 49″ Class – LED – NU8000 Series… Continue Reading “4K Review: Feel the Magic (The Harry Potter 8 Film Collection, 2018)”
