Blu-ray Review: Great Cast Rocks Clever ‘Seven Psychopaths’
Submitted by BrianTT on February 11, 2013 - 3:18pm.CHICAGO – When I saw the ensemble assembled for Martin McDonagh’s very funny “Seven Psychopaths” and realized it was from the creator of the brilliant “In Bruges,” personal expectations were set pretty high. In fact, higher than this film achieves, but don’t let the fact that it’s not quite as solid as “Bruges” overwhelm your response to this flick, recently on Blu-ray and DVD. It’s still smart, funny, dark, twisted, and unlike anything else on the New Releases shelf.
Blu-ray Review: HBO’s ‘Game Change’ Triumphs with Brilliant Performances
Submitted by mattmovieman on January 11, 2013 - 1:44pm.CHICAGO – When the HBO film, “Game Change,” was first announced, it sounded rather unnecessary.

That’s essentially how “Seven Psychopaths,” the clever new action comedy from Martin McDonagh (“In Bruges”) works in that it has a number of interesting ideas that aren’t fully developed even if the movie is fun enough to be considered a sin.

Blu-ray Review: ‘The Hunger Games’ Given Stellar Two-Disc Edition
Submitted by BrianTT on August 26, 2012 - 3:18pm.CHICAGO – Can a Blu-ray be both great and a likely placeholder for a future Special Edition? “The Hunger Games” makes that case. The lack of a commentary track or deleted scenes (and Lionsgate’s double-dipping track record) lead one to believe that a Special Edition will likely hit stores in conjunction with “Catching Fire” but this is still a great release with hours of special features and a stellar HD video and audio transfer.
