Media Haul (October 2022)

October had some pretty sweet releases. With not much in the way of movies, I focused primarily on TV seasons that I wanted to catch up on. Here are the titles that I snagged this month: Top Gun: Maverick - BD UHD La Brea: Season 1 - BD HD The … Continue reading →

Media Haul (September 2022)

For someone who collects a lot of physical media, I don’t seem to share enough about my hobby here on the blog. Well, that’s about to change. I’m not very good about keeping up with any sort of regular series, but I will make something like a promise to share … Continue reading →

4K UHD Collection: April 2020

I am back in the collecting game. After several months of work and keeping an eye on deals, I am now inching closer toward 100 titles and have built a pretty nice 4K UHD collection. It started with my first DVD player in 2001. Since then, I have amassed a … Continue reading →

Post-Graduation Week

I graduated last week — Thursday, May 10. It was one of the most boring experiences of my life. I don’t even remember half the ceremony. I may have fell asleep a few times. I happened not to sleep the night before. I was just so wired. But, when that … Continue reading →

Superman Returns

I was not overly impressed. With that said, it was a good movie. Maybe the hype I’ve been hearing since before the movie hit theaters had built it up too much. Superman/Clark Kent (Brandon Routh) returns after a five-year search for his home planet. He comes home to find Lois … Continue reading →

Junebug

I am in awe of Amy Adams’ performace in director Phil Morrison’s take on the South. She played the perfect southern girl. She talked a lot (probably making up for more than half the film’s dialogue), but she did it right. Usually, when someone recommends a film to me and … Continue reading →

Empire Falls

So, I finally caved and bought the DVD version of Empire Falls based off Richard Ruso’s novel. And the first thing I have to say is that it was good. Not as good as the novel, but still good. I actually didn’t know that Russo himself had written the screenplay. … Continue reading →

Serenity

I definitely have a reason to write tonight. I just got through watching one of the most amazing movies I’ve ever seen in the theater: SERENITY. Joss Whedon pulls off a masterpiece in this follow-up to his short-lived series Firefly. From every syllable uttered to every camera angle, the crew … Continue reading →
