We’re talking Everest this week but what do we know about mountains? So we brought in some experts. Brothers Mike & Steve Reardon have been to Everest. “Been to Everest” might be a bit of an understatement. They were making their way up the mountain when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal. And it doesn’t […]

This Week On Blu-Ray / DVD: ‘We Need To Talk About Kevin,’ ‘Gone,’ ‘Man on a Ledge’ and More
We Need To Talk About Kevin – One of the more unsettling flicks I saw last year, “Kevin” makes me never want to have kids. Sure it’s a small percentage chance, but what if your child grows up to despise you and terrorizes you just for the fun of it. The performances are outstanding from […]

Movie Review: ‘Wrath of the Titans’: Release the…Screenwriting Dept.
Unlike most people, I don’t hold a grudge against mindless action flicks. In fact, some of my favorite movies are epic action films that don’t require a whole lot of thought involved.

Movies to Look Forward to in January
January is not exactly known to be a great month for films. Studios dump a lot of junk this month. All of the talk is on awards season so a lot of these films fly under the radar. But some of these little titles might be diamonds in the rough. Let’s not forget that “Hostel” […]
