MOVIE REVIEW – MONEYBALL – NEW ON BLU-RAY, DVD & STREAMING
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 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
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
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
A BIG-ASS pile of fashionably dressed, 1960’s corpses.
Movie Review – Blue Velvet
BLUE VELVET seems almost benign in our over stimulated, shock value society, but let me tell you it still holds its own where depravity is concerned.
BLU-RAY & DVD CAPSULE REVIEWS
Capsule reviews by The Movie Guys include “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia” and “Paul”. Quick plot, quick opinion and we’re out.

TV Review – Boardwalk Empire
My favorite series of all time was “Deadwood”, I’m thinking this may come close.
Movie Review – Straight Time
Hoffman holds it all together – possibly his best performance ever.
Movie Review – Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
I go back and forth in my mind whether this or RAIDERS is the best of the series.
Movie Review – The Shining
Contrary to popular belief Jack Torrance is not the antagonist in the film.
