‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Jackie Brown’ Blu-rays Announced and Detailed!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
Lionsgate is prepping Tarantino’s ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Jackie Brown’ for Blu-ray for a release date of October 4, 2011. Finally, these will be in Hi-Def and complete for the most part my Tarantino collection on Blu-ray. Both films will be newly remastered that will be supervised by Tarantino himself and will sport brand new 1080p video and lossless audio. New extras will be added on both discs. The extras are outlined below.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Phantasm IV: Oblivion’!
The ‘Phantasm‘ series is legendary with filmmaker Don Corsacelli and his villain the Tall Man front and center. What’s fun about this series of horror films is that each sequel starts off right where the previous movie left off. This fourth film had an insane pre-production history. Roger Avery of ‘Pulp Fiction‘ and ‘Rules of Attraction‘ actually wrote a screenplay for this 4th film where it centered on a post-apocalyptic future world. It even was set to star Bruce Campbell too.
I’ve got an “INCREDIBLE” update for you!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
‘The Incredibles‘ are making a comeback and Disney released character portraits in the most trendy, pop culture-ish way possible, as selfies matched with their artistic counter-part. Google’s Arts and Culture app has been the new driving force powering social media and everyone is doing it. I even tried to get a match on my dog, Duke, aka John Wayne, but there’s not recognition for pets, yet. Along with the images of the voice actors, we see stylized artwork of their on-screen persona, and it’s awesome to see anything coming from Disney Pixar about the upcoming sequel. But that’s not all they’ve given us. We get four new images, but we also get some plot details!
Tarantino Tackles The Summer of the Manson Family!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Quentin Tarantino has decided that, after 2012’s ‘Django Unchained‘, he kinda likes working with Leonardo DiCaprio and enjoyed it so much that he’s signed the Oscar winner to his latest film. This makes number nine for Tarantino, and has been given an August 9, 2019 opening date under Sony.
Own ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’ On November 7!!!
Hey guys, Jana here, 
Leading an all-star cast, Ryan Reynolds (‘Deadpool‘, ‘The Proposal‘) and Samuel L. Jackson (‘Pulp Fiction‘, Marvel’s Cinematic Universe) take viewers on an outrageous action-packed, comedic adventure in ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard‘, arriving on Digital HD November 7 and 4K Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital HD), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD and On Demand November 21 from Lionsgate. When Michael Bryce, an elite bodyguard, and Darius Kincaid, a renowned hit man, are forced to work together, they don’t just have to avoid getting killed…they also have to avoid killing each other. The film, which was #1 at the summer box office three weeks in a row, also stars Oscar nominees Gary Oldman (Best Actor, ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy‘) and Salma Hayek ( Best Actress, ‘Frida‘).
Blu-ray Review: Free Fire!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
Film Portion Reviewed by Janet White:
In typical 70s film fashion, Free Fire opens with an aerial scan of the city below. Curvaceous, bold letters displayed nearly every cast member and some of the crew. This got very old, long, and kept the pace slow. Two men waiting in an alley… (Sounds like a bad joke, it was). Stevo (Sam Riley) and Bernie (Enzo Cilenti) meet up with Justine (Brie Larson), Chris (Cillian Murphy), and Frances (Michael Smiley) for a shady gun buy with Ord (Armie Hammer), Vernon (Sharlto Copley), Martin (Babou Ceesay), Gordon (Noah Taylor), and Harry (Jack Reynor, how did they turn this hottie into a slob?). Great cast, right? Well, great casts alone do not a great film make. The dialogue and plot points must harness and ride with that talent.
Just a few of my favorite posters!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
There are several elements that go into play when a movie is prepping for their initial debut. There is an advertising campaign, and the goal is to saturate the atmosphere with the upcoming movie, all designed to get us to show up in theaters and plunk down a chunk of our hard-earned cash. One of the first type of media to invade our subconscious is the all-important movie poster. This may seem like a small thing, but each poster is carefully designed to share just enough information that will reel us a bit closer, then just like when fishing, set that hook.
Film Review: ‘[Free Fire]’!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
In typical 70s film fashion, Free Fire opens with an aerial scan of the city below. Curvaceous, bold letters displayed nearly every cast member and some of the crew. This got very old, long, and kept the pace slow. Two men waiting in an alley… (Sounds like a bad joke, it was).

Great cast, right? Well, great casts alone do not a great film make. The dialogue and plot points must harness and ride with that talent. Inundated with morons and piss-poor shooting for a calamitous combination, Free Fire leaves the audience either shaking their heads or bowing over laughing. Between the mumbling of lines and poor volume control, I missed bits of the dialogue for sure. It is as if they were aiming to repeat what Tarantino did with Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, but they were not clever enough. Complete with wondrous never-ending bullet supplies and a villain’s miraculous ability to stave off death repeatedly aka “movie magic,” Free Fire simply does not make much sense. Could a person, shot in their right arm, fire a weapon (even automatic rifles) with their right hand? Read the rest of this entry »
Martin Scorsese’s Latest Mob Movie Lands At Netflix!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
There are two things Martin Scorsese knows a lot about, one of them is making movies and the other is making mob movies. From ‘Goodfellas‘, to ‘Gangs of New York‘, to ‘The Departed‘ with several stops in between, his films speak for themselves so it’s no wonder that a bit of a bidding war has broken out around his latest project ‘The Irishman‘. The companies are sending up their white flags with Netflix standing on the pile of broken bodies, the victor.
Genre Favorite ‘Parasites’ Debuts On VOD This January!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
You’re getting your chance to peep a thrilling genre film that debuted at Fantasia International Film Festival, when ‘Parasites‘ lands on VOD January 24. Chad Ferrin (‘Someone’s Knocking at the Door‘), a true veteran in the horror world, created a thrilling world for the true story of John Colter and his escape from the Blackfoot Indians, just slightly twisted into a new retelling. You can find the film on iTunes, Amazon Instant, Google Play, Vudu and Xbox.
4K UHD Review: ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
THE FILM
This portion of the review was written by Suzanne Loranc.
Everyone can understand that the second movie in any series can be the problematic middle child of a franchise. They tend to suffer between the spellbinding beginning and the satisfying conclusion. However, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire rises above the usual awkward bridge label with excellent performances and a script that remains faithful to the book to make it a movie that could almost stand on its own.
Own ‘The Legend of Tarzan’ On October 11!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is releasing the NEW King Of The Jungle when ‘The Legend of Tarzan‘ hits shelves October 11! Have your adventures any way you want them, Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD (September 20)!!
Film Review: ‘The Legend of Tarzan’!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
Every woman loves the strong and silent type, yes? Well, I say only for a while. Women are more than their looks and I’d say the same in regards to men. Both sides have bad apples, but on the whole, our actions and words are as integral to who we are as our appearance. Yet in The Legend of Tarzan’s portrayal of Tarzan, silence dominates and makes this King of Beasts a robot, not just mute, but cold and detached for the majority of the film. They should have subtitled the film, “A Man of Few Words”, because The Legend of Tarzan, starring Alexander Skarsgård as Tarzan/Lord John Clayton was just that.
Criterion Announces It’s September Releases!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Criterion has announced their September titles, which are all listed below. You can see all the tech-specs and bonus features with each title. This is one hell of a month for Criterion, as all titles look insanely good. I can’t wait to watch all of these. We will update when pre-order links are available.
Roger Avery is Back in the Director’s Chair with ‘Unwind’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
It certainly has been a long time since Roger Avary has been behind the camera. If you need a reminder, Avary wrote the story to ‘Pulp Fiction‘ and was a collaborator with Quentin Tarantino for a while, until legal troubles plagued Avary. His most notable directorial effort was ‘The Rules of Attraction‘, back more than a decade ago, and this new project called ‘Unwind‘ is his comeback movie.
‘The Hateful Eight’ Drops To Blu-ray and Digital HD in March!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
When Quentin Tarantino casts a movie, he pulls out all the stops and fills the project with Hollywood’s A-List, and ‘The Hateful Eight‘ is no exception. The project brought together some Tarantino favorites and some new to his work. Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Bruce Dern are the top-billed names and they make a fantastic ensemble that make up ‘The Hateful Eight‘ and you can bring it home on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on March 29, 2016.
Film Review: ‘The Wolfpack’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
I wasn’t quite sure of what to expect from ‘The Wolfpack‘. I went in only know a thing or two about this documentary, but what I got was so much more. Some of us turn to reading as a form of escapism and happiness where others might turn to religion, or nature. For me, it was always music and movies. After a hard day of work or school, I knew I could always come home and listen to a good record or watch a film and be totally content. It’s almost like being at home whenever I watch a movie or listen to music, no matter where I am.
Guide To Wave Two Films At Fantastic Fest 2014!
Ving Rhames Joins Indie Thriller ‘Operation’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Ving Rhames hit the film scene hard in the 80’s and never looked back. Since 1984, he’s had at least one, more often several, projects each consecutive year. One of his most memorable roles was as the unfortunately brutalized Marsellus Wallace in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Pulp Fiction’. He provided the voice for Cobra Bubbles in Disney’s animated ‘Lilo & Stitch‘, and gave life to the flamboyant Fred G. Duncan in the comedy ‘I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry‘. Rhames has gone from genre to genre and proven to be a talented entertainer with each turn.
Bradley Cooper’s ‘Adam Jones’ Continues Culinary Theme in Film!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
The entertainment world goes through fads, just like fashion. One day we’re inundated with talking sea animals from every animated company, the next day it’s all about bugs. Right now, culinary genius is taking center stage.
The Weinstein Company began production today on ‘Adam Jones‘. This pic puts Bradley Cooper (‘Silver Linings Playbook‘) and Sienna Miller (‘GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra‘) together and adds a little spice making Cooper a bad-boy Michelin chef who has to change his ways. The project was originally called ‘The Chef‘ until ‘Chef‘, Jon Favreau’s tale of a chef who loses his restaurant and hits to the road in a food truck piecing his life, and his family, back together along the way. Obviously this can’t work in the film industry an agreement was made and a change of title followed.
Quentin Tarantino Is Giving Us a ‘Django Unchained/Zorro’ Comic Book!!
Rebecca S., Here…
“The D is silent.” In some excellent news, Quentin Tarantino is partnering up with Dynamite Entertainment and DC Entertainment to publish a comic book that pairs up Django and Zorro. Django has already been in the comic book realm when the film came out, but now he’s coming back. Tarantino himself will co-write the series with Reginald Hudlin and Matt Wagner and is scheduled to hit comic book shelves late this year. I’m excited to see where this leads, as all 3 collaborators are known for risky moves and thinking outside the box (no one more so than Tarantino). And both outlaws should be well represented by that kind of thinking.
Presenters for 2014’s Academy Awards Have Been Released!!
Jana B. here,
The most glamorous night in Hollywood is coming up quick.We see our own version of American royalty dressed to the nines, and walking the red carpet. Producers of The Oscars, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have given us a rundown on the list of stars that will be presenting the Academy Awards of Merit. Ellen DeGeneres is hosting the live event on Sunday, March 2 on ABC.
Benedict Cumberbatch to navigate ‘Blood Mountain’!!
Jana B. here,
That sound you just heard is the collective sigh from The Cumber-Collective all over the world, upon hearing their poster boy, Benedict Cumberbatch is going to be starring in ‘Blood Mountain‘. Nothing can make a fan girl squee louder than knowing that he is increasing his on screen presence with another movie. Not that it’s possible for him to be any busier than he was in 2013. Cumberbatch was in every movie from last year, it seemed. With movies ‘Star Trek Into Darkness‘, ‘The Fifth Estate‘, ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug‘ and TV’s ‘Sherlock‘, among others, his presence has been noticed everywhere.
The Top 10 Gangster Movie List!!!
Jana B. here,
Some girls are all into sappy romances or heart touchingly saccharine-sweet movies. Movies that sometime contain a troubled family learning to love a curmudgeonly, absent grandparent, or a shattered family recovering from the death of one of its immediate member. Sometimes it’s a pet that waltzes, unexpectedly, into a tumultuous atmosphere that teaches everyone to love more before it’s killed in some unimaginative way.
I hate movies like that. I hate books like that and I hate songs like that. If a member of a family is killed, it better be a mafia family, and I get to look forward to their violent, bloody and evil retribution. I am so fascinated by the inner workings of these ‘families’. I love to see the fronts they use to launder their income and imagine ways I would do it if I was involved.

Fernando Knows What Film Will Win ‘Best Picture’ At the Oscars This Year!!!
Fernando M., Here…
Well folks, Oscar season is upon us today. OK, so it’s still pretty far out, but how can we not be thinking about it already? Especially when in this last year, only one film can truly be deemed worthy enough to win the coveted Best Picture award. I know you’re all thinking it but are too afraid to say it, so I’ll do it for you.
Here’s The New Trailer for The ‘Robocop’ Remake!!!
Jana B., Here…
I just checked out the new Robocop trailer. “Why is America so Robo-phobic?” is the phrase I plan on working into every conversation I have for the foreseeable future. This phrase is uttered by the badly rugged Samuel L. Jackson. So far in the 2:26 minute long trailer we see some awesome CG effects which stands to reason if you’re watching a movie about a cyborg policeman, or any movie made in 2013. Long gone are the days of non-computerized special effects.
DIFF Film Review: ‘Jump’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Hailing from Ireland, Kieron J. Walsh’s ‘Jump‘ is a dark and twisted tale with elements of comedy that will attract the indie-film crowd at first glance, but loses its appeal very fast. You can tell that Walsh has a passion for the movie business and a true love of cinema, as he pays homage to several styles of filmmaking throughout the picture, however the several different story lines that intersect in a ‘Pulp Fiction‘ like way do not have enough time on screen for anyone to develop a relationship with the characters.
Bryan’s Top 20 Films of 2012!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I can’t believe that 2012 is at its end and we are about to welcome 2013. This year has gone by so fast, and man, did I see tons of films. When I started making this 2012 list, I came up with 87 films that I enjoyed. Yes, you read that right, 87, meaning there were probably just as many films that I didn’t enjoy. Now, below is my top 20 of the year. I just couldn’t do it with 10 this year. And these are films that I watched in the theater or at home and that don’t necessarily come out this year, but I did see this year. And I’m sure I’ll get a lot of criticism for my list, but hey this is my list, not yours. You can have your own. But my lists tend to be different than most people’s as you can tell from my previous lists HERE. So without any further delay, below is my TOP 20 films for 2012.
Film Review: ‘Django Unchained’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I’m so glad I waited till I saw Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ to make my top 20 list of films of the year, heck, my top 5 list, because it definitely deserved a spot near the top. Tarantino’s journey into the western genre is smart, funny, and tells a great story of love and revenge, one of Tarantino’s best plot points. I cannot wait to see this movie again.
Tarantino XX: 8-Film Collection Blu-Ray Announced and Detailed!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Good news for your Tarantino fans out there. Actually, I don’t know whether to be happy or angry about this. Lionsgate and Miramax are releasing a big Tarantino movie set on bluray on November 20th. It will contain 8 films and two bonus discs. This kind of sucks, because I imagine most of us already own all of these on bluray already individually. Now we have to purchase all of these again. And, why are the ‘Kill Bill’ films not in one film like we have been promised for years now. I will admit, the artwork is cool from MondoTees, but I can’t justify purchasing this, for two extra bonus discs. These look to be the same blurays that we already have. And why did they not wait till next year to release this, so they could include ‘Django Unchained’? Official press release below.
BLU-RAY REVIEW: THE PROPHECY
“Marked by fate. Doomed by prophecy. Time is running out for mankind.” In the meantime, Miramax has released the Blu-ray edition of The Prophecy. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi Bryan Here…
And here it is. The last of the Ultimate Top Films of the Decade List until the Final Top 10. So many great films are on this list.

So you can check out the entire list now and you might be able to guess what would be on my Top 10. Please feel free to comment and let me know your guesses.

Bryan Trick ‘r Treats Early (Trick ‘r Treat Review)
So I finally got to take a look at the horror movie “Trick ‘r Treat” and if you know me, then you know I am a cinephile. Meaning I will see pretty much everything and also that I have a large affection for everything HORROR. Over the last several years, it has been difficult for me to thoroughly enjoy a great horror film. There are only a few exceptions. I do not know if it is my childhood love for Halloween or my extreme passion for everything Horror, but this movie “Trick ‘r Treat” is the best Horror film to come out in years. Now that is something to take notice of coming from me.
I really didn’t know anything going into this film other than it was a horror film about Halloween and that it followed several story lines and all connected at some point during the movie. Kinda like “Pulp Fiction”. I was hoping for genuine scares, comedic moments, blood, excellent death scenes, and even more blood. I can safely say, that I received all of that plus more.
Trick ‘r Treat is basically a throwback to old Halloween Horror films and the traditions and holiday rules we all have grown to know. It covers it all in this movie. It connects several stories through out the movie through a very creepy little villain who is not named, but wears a scarecrow mask. This little villain is so frightening that he will instantly haunt you for years to come.
We follow a group of spunky college girls, a psychotic principal, a horrific school bus accident, a mean spirited child prank, a newly wed couple, and an old man’s strange intruder all with one directive. Do not break the rules of Halloween.
This has quite a spectacular cast. Brian Cox and Anna Paquin lend their talents to this film as well as several others you will recognize here and there. The actors really helped this movie take it to the next level.
I cannot believe this film was not given its due date. Only released straight to home video, this movie should have had a better marketing team and gotten into every theatre at the Halloween time.
I really have nothing to complain about in this movie. It was everything I wanted in a horror movie. This film will be a staple of horror film marathons and played round the clock come Halloween time.
See this movie as soon as you can and let me know what you thought of it. I loved talking about his movie after I watched it. Every single detail about it. It was a hell of a lot of fun.
Buy the movie HERE.

Hi, Bryan Here…
Hi folks. Sorry for the lack of awesome news an updates. It’s very busy here at Boomstick HQ. Some really neat thing lined up in the next week or two. So bare with me. Thank you. Now onto some BADASS news. Samuel L. Jackson is joining the cast of the remake of ‘Robocop’. Remember, I’ve been talking about this remake for a while and last time I talked with Peter Weller (the original Robocop), he was not enthused about this remake. THis might change his mind.
