The Good A film that does it’s best to examine the issue of gun control from all sides. The Bad I think this DVD should have had a director’s commentary. American Gun is one of the new modeled indy films that has a point of view, yet chooses to tell it’s tale from many different focal points. Comprising a cast of some of Hollywood’s finest actors, this film is a character study about the effects that guns have had on our culture....
Andor had one of the best season finales of any Star Wars series. The way it ties into the rest of the canon and sets us up for season 2 is perfect. But Andor leaves a lot of loose ends in the last episode. Though, it was always meant to be this way. Director Tony Gilroy told us before the series even started that the plan was to resolve the storyline in two seasons....

It seems that we might get our next frackin’ dose of an immensely popular Sci-Fi Channel show on DVD before 2009. TV Shows on DVD is reporting, on word from annonymous sources, that the first half of Battlestar Galactica’s fourth and final season will hit DVD shelves on December 30.

Debbie Reynolds was the stage name of Mary Frances Reynolds, an American actress, singer, and entrepreneur. Her career lasted for over 70 years. Reynolds’ depiction of Helen Kane in the 1950 movie Three Little Words earned her a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer. Her breakthrough performance as Kathy Selden in Singin’ in the Rain was her first main role. Reynolds went on to play the infamously rowdy Molly Brown in the biographical film The Unsinkable Molly Brown....
If you are a fan of great romantic comedies, then you are probably familiar with a common trope from the genre: The Grand Romantic Gesture. The grand romantic gesture usually takes place in the final act of the film and is an elaborate or over-the-top display of affection to win the heart of another. The reasons for the romantic gesture can vary in nature, whether as an apology or atonement, a way to get noticed or be taken seriously, or a spontaneous display of their feelings....
Michael K. Williams was a respected and dynamic actor who captivated audiences with compelling roles in hit shows like The Wire and Boardwalk Empire. The performer was first discovered by Tupac Shakur after seeing his Polaroid during production of his 1996 film Bullet, with the late rapper ultimately casting him in the crime drama. Williams would go on to nab arguably his most iconic and revered role of his career in 2002, when he portrayed stick-up man Omar Little in the critically-acclaimed HBO series The Wire; his performance as the legendary Baltimore criminal was lauded as “arguably the show’s single greatest achievement," and has been named by Barack Obama as the president’s favorite TV character....
Streaming services have almost completely taken over traditional TV, but that hasn’t stopped TV shows from being produced. Whether it is a drama like Mayans M.C. or reality shows like 90 Day Fiancé, TV never fails to entertain. It was originally thought that streaming services would never take off, but thanks to expanding their content and adding new shows that are still on the air, streaming has become the go-to place to watch TV....
Sony still has a long way to go before its Blu-Ray format becomes the standard in home entertainment, and player pricing is certainly one issue. According to Twice.com, Sony president Stan Glasgow said at a press conference, he believes that Blu-Ray players will be sub-$300 by the end of this year, and below $200 by 2009. “The battle really begins now to move people away from DVD to Blu-ray,” Glasgow said....
Screenwriter Bob Gale goes back in time to discuss Back to the Future and its sequels for its 25th Anniversary It isn’t too often, even in my line of work, that I get to talk to a legend. Someone who has created something that has stood the test of time, and will continue to do so for many years to come.

The 1980s were a time of highly original movies, music, and styles. One of the genres that the 1980s did best was fantasy, with classic original films like Willow, The Dark Crystal, and Time Bandits. The resurgence of 1980s culture in modern times has been prevalent, with many older movies and TV shows getting sequels or remakes. The prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance from Netflix, while expensive and ultimately canceled, received highly positive reviews, with the consensus on Rotten Tomatoes saying that the series “expertly builds on the lore of The Dark Crystal, crafting compelling new mythos without losing sight of the humanity at the story’s heart....
It took thirteen years for The Incredible Hulk’s Abomination to return to the MCU with an unexpected appearance in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but he wasn’t exactly as fans remember him having undergone a design overhaul in the years between. Still played by Tim Roth, Emil Blonsky made his big return in a cage match at Xialing’s underground fight club where he is seen taking on mystic arts sorcerer Wong, and has certainly lost none of his aggression over the years....
Ridley Scott has proven himself when it comes to comedy and light-hearted fares. While Thelma & Louise and Matchstick Men weren’t exactly family films, they were certainly different than the action epics we know that Ridley Scott can masterfully do. Scott took a lot of heat for Kingdom Of Heaven, but for those who purchased and saw the director’s cut know that the film was unjustly cut down and ruined. A Good Year on the other hand is just not a great project....

As we walked into the theater, we were greeted with the Barenaked Ladies karaoke and sing-a-long song ‘One Little Step’ which follows Chicken Little through his trek to school in the feature film....
