MOVIE REVIEW – MONEYBALL – NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING

Moneyball - Brad Pitt & Jonah Hill

This film taught me one very important thing….. Art Howe is evil. Really evil.

MOVIE REVIEW – THE TREE OF LIFE – NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING

the-tree-of-life-movie-family

The most frustrating thing about this film is that inside this confusing movie is a very good movie trying to get out.

THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE – NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING

devil_2011_a_l

A flashy feature film entrance for the excellent Dominic Cooper but lacks real punch due to sparse story-induced character introspection. A good rental if you’ve seen everything else at the Redbox.

NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING – SEASON OF THE WITCH

Season Of The Witch

Unpleasant in all aspects. Far too violent for children and incomprehensible to adults. Never watch it, never consider it.

NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING – THE KILLER INSIDE ME

The_Killer_Inside_Me_2

A BIG-ASS pile of fashionably dressed, 1960’s corpses.
