I guess we all have had weird ideas and our own dreams and ideas about the ways to riches at one point or another. I am sure none of it was as outrageous as the one you'll get to see in "Ghostbusters", and I am not sure how many have been [...]

Revolutionary Road

Is it a sign of the times that the love-struck kids from the 90s' biggest blockbuster grew up to become the disillusioned couple at the center of Sam Mendes' would-be revelation of oppressive 1950s' conformity? It would appear so, as [...]

A little while ago, Universal Home Entertainment revisited the cult comedy "Fletch" on DVD and gave it the special edition treatment. Now, this "Jane Doe" edition is also available on Blu-Ray Disc, and there was no question in my mind [...]

I have always had very fond memories of Sydney Pollack's "3 Days Of The Condor" and when Paramount Home Entertainment announced a high definition version of this 70s spy thriller I was very excited. Time to take a look at this Blu-Ray [...]

Among all his performances in his long career, Michael Douglas' remarkable portrayal of Bill Foster in Joel Schumacher's 1992 thrilling drama "Falling Down" is certainly one of the most memorable. Warner Home Video has now prepared a [...]
