Vin Diesel is Remaking Miami Vice!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
I guess since NBC is a fast sinking ship down into the ocean, it has to reboot its own vintage TV shows. This time, it’s with Miami Vice, which was a hit action-crime television series in the 1980s that spawned a huge fandom, music, and fashion. In 2006, director Michael Mann remade Miami Vice on the big screen with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. To add insult to injury, Vin Diesel and Chris Morgan are producing this reboot, both of which have been involved in all of the Fast and Furious films.

Dan M., Here….
I saw The Fast and The Furious when I was 14 or 15. As someone who grew up watching Point Break on VHS and other 80s/90s action movies it was right in my wheel house. I have never been a car guy but I still remember that summer talking with my friends about Honda Civics, Nos, and spoilers that we’d all be getting when we turned 16. The first movie is a step by step remake of Point Break, right down to letting the “bad guy” go at the end with “I owe you a 10 second car” instead of “Vaya Con Dios.” It stared two relatively unknowns in Paul Walker and Vin Diesel who will never be confused with Daniel Day Lewis but were born to play these parts. Ultimately was a fun summer popcorn movie that no one thought they’d hear from again, let alone turn into an almost 4 billion dollar franchise.

Black Panther is debuting very soon and in 3 short months, we will witness Infinity War on the big screen, which is the culmination of all 18 Marvel movies that came before it. I love the Marvel movies, at a minimum they get how to entertain and present their characters in the most appealing way possible. I’m sure that Black Panther will have an incredible moment or two and without a doubt the spectacle that Infinity War HAS to be will present us with some memorable scenes. Until then I figured I would share my 10 Favorite Moments from the MCU so far.

‘Den of Thieves‘ is coming to theaters on January 19, 2018 and will star Gerard Butler (300), 50 Cent, Pablo Schreiber (Orange is the New Black), and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton). The film is set in Los Angeles and focuses on a top notch team of the LA Sheriff’s department and the most successful bank robber gang in the state. The robbery crew plans to rob the Federal Reserve Bank in downtown Los Angeles in this movie. Will there be twists? Will there be turns? Will there be people on the “inside”?
4K UHD Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
First off, my favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe film is ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘. I love the weird, oddball, and sometimes anti-hero characters so much, the dialogue, and the feel of the whole movie, that I really connected to it and enjoyed it on every level. This group of heroes are not the norm and I relish in all their conflicts, endearing moments, and witty banter. That brings us to Vol. 2 that reunites all of our favorite characters as they go on missions to save the galaxy.
Blu-ray Review: The Fate of the Furious!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
THE FILM
We’re eight movies into this franchise, which would have you assume that these films would have lost steam, been remade, or have a completely new cast. That’s not the case at all with ‘Fate of the Furious‘ or the 8th installment of the ‘Fast and Furious‘ franchise, because there are no signs of this franchise slowing down, being remade, or losing any of its fun cast.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is coming to 4K UHD!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
I can’t believe it’s finally happening. Disney is releasing their first 4K UHD release with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which couldn’t be a more perfect debut release in the new format. Disney has been holding out for a while now, while other studios have been releasing their new and vintage films in 4K. It was only a matter of time. There will be Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos included on the release as well, along with quite a few fun bonus features. You’ll be able to watch the film on digital platforms, starting August 8th, and purchase the actual 4K UHD Disc on August 22nd. So now I’m impatiently waiting for Disney to start announcing some vintage vault films and shows, re-releasing in 4K UHD. It’s only a matter of time, but expect my wallet to dwindle down with the following announcements.

Dan M. Gives His Thoughts on ‘Fate of the Furious’!
Dan M., here….
Fast & Furious: Civil War
(Feel free so scroll to the bottom if you’re here to talk Jason Statham.)
After the death of Paul Walker and the 7th film there has been lots of speculation as to where the Fast & Furious franchise would go and the 8th movie definitively answers that question: Anywhere it damn well pleases. By the end of The Fate of the Furious, the loudest, most insane, and dumbest (in a good way) entry in the series, the stage is set for 100 more of these films and I’d sign up for 99 of them. While many franchises are working as hard as they can to justify spinoffs and team up films, the Fast & Furious put itself in a position to justify a number of spinoffs. As a film universe goes, Fast & Furious is behind only Marvel.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ Has a New Trailer!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
It’s getting close to the release of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2‘ and to celebrate that, we have a brand new trailer. It’s a good trailer, however, I think it gives quite a bit away in it. That being said, I trust James Gunn fully and know he will have some shocks and surprises throughout.
Ben Affleck Dedicates the ‘Batman’ Directing Job To Your Mother…Fuck Her!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
When Ben Affleck isn’t making the next Boston crime movie or saying “Yes” to a cameo role in Kevin Smith’s latest direct-to-video film, he’s reading comic books with Matt Damon and deciding on which next Hollywood starlet to take out for a steak dinner and never call again. The guy is a badass in every sense of the word. There’s nothing he can’t do. I’m just surprised he doesn’t have an EGOT yet. You can say a lot of things about Affleck, but you can’t say he doesn’t know when to say “no”. Affleck announced today that he will be stepping down from his role as director in the upcoming ‘Batman‘ film for Warner Bros., where he will indeed be playing Batman once again.
Film Review: ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
Has it really been 15 years since we last saw Vin Diesel as Xander Cage, jumping off mountains and beating up the bad guys across the globe? Why yes it has. Only a few years later, we got a ‘xXx‘ sequel with Ice Cube in the spotlight, rather than Vin Diesel. It was stated in the sequel that Vin Diesel’s character was killed off, leaving Ice Cube to pick up the pieces and become the action star in the early 2000s. Now, it’s 2017 and Vin Diesel makes $1 billion dollar ‘Fast and Furious’ movies, so Hollywood finally gave the greenlight to another ‘xXx‘ film that has Diesel returning as Xander Cage, despite the fact that he’s already dead. These things don’t matter with this third installment, titled ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage‘.
‘Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk’ Comes To Home Video In February!!!

Dom’s Turned Against The Family In ‘The Fate of the Furious’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
The gang’s all here, almost. The cast for ‘Fast & Furious 8‘ reads like a who’s who in Hollywood with Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel leading the pack. F. Gary Gray (‘Straight Outta Compton‘) directed the latest in the ‘Fast and the Furious‘ line of films Additional cast includes Jordana Brewster, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, Helen Mirren, and Kurt Russell. The film hits big screens on April 14, 2017.
‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ Trailer Is Awesome!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage‘ is pretty much what it sounds like, a third film in the xXx line and this will be the second one to feature Vin Diesel. He starred in the original film in 2002 that spawned an exciting franchise. Though his character is stated to have died in the second film which starred Ice Cube, that appears to be an untruth that Cage uses to his advantage this time around.
Charlize Theron Is The Face of A Villain In Next Fast & Furious Flick!

‘The Iron Giant’ Comes To Blu-ray & Ultimate Collectors Edition!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Finally coming to Blu-ray is the 1999 instant classic, ‘The Iron Giant‘! Winner of 9 Annie Awards, remastered and enhanced with two brand-new scenes, Iron Giant tells the tale of an unlikely friendship between an alien robot from outer space, with a voice by Vin Diesel, and a rebellious boy named Hogarth (Eli Marienthal), his bedraggled mom (Jennifer Aniston), a paranoid government agent (Christopher McDonald), and a sympathetic beatnik (Harry Conick, Jr.) who all work together to turn director Brad Bird’s story into a gigantic, out-of-this-world adventure.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2’ Enlists New Cast Members Including Kurt Russell!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2‘ promises to be every bit as much an awesome ride as its predecessor. We’ve got a new mix tape our heroes will be kicking ass, and dancing, to. The first soundtrack was nominated for a Grammy, so this one has to up the ante. Plus new cast members including one suave, charming dude that wasn’t at all shy about kicking a chick’s ass in ‘The Hateful Eight‘, that’s right – Kurt Russell. Who are the others new cast members you ask, I’ve got the details after the jump.
‘XXX: The Return of Xander Cage’ Casts Andrey Ivchenko!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
The sequel to 2002’s ‘XXX‘ is getting ready to begin production and the cast is rounding out with the addition of baddie Andrey Ivchenko (‘The Way of the West‘). He joins Samuel L. Jackson, Vin Diesel and Nina Dobrev who are already cast and/or reprising their roles from the original.

Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
It’s 2016 and that means more and more movies will be coming out for all of us to spend all of our hard earned money on. If you’re a fan of the horror genre, here is a look at what horror movies to expect this year. This is not the ‘be all – end all’ horror movie list for 2016. There will be more that come out for sure, so keep your eyes peeled. That being said, this is a good starting guide for what to expect. There looks to be some great ones as well as some not so great ones. Let us know what excites you most.
Janet’s Review of ‘The Last Witch Hunter’!
Janet W., Here…
Yeah, bring me some more Riddick…oh wait, this isn’t…
Don’t be fooled folks. It may look like a duck, swim like a duck, and quack like a duck, but this is not Daffy. I saw the poster as well and this is nothing like the popular cult film, Pitch Black or Chronicles of Riddick. Clearly the studio is trying to cash in its popularity.
Film Review: ‘The Last Witch Hunter’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
Just in time for Halloween, comes the latest action-horror movie, starring Vin Diesel, called ‘The Last Witch Hunter‘. With a budget of $90 million, you’ll be puzzled to see where all that money went after watching this awkward and slow-paced movie. Director Breck Eisner tries to weave a horror movie with some action set pieces, but the dialogue and script is fair at best, and besides the first five minutes of the film and the last ten minutes, nothing really happens.
Film Review: ‘Hitman: Agent 47’!
Fernando M., Here…
When in the world will someone get one of these right? I can’t count the number of times I’ve been disappointed by a video game movie. It’s a lost cause. There’s no other way about it. The biggest victims of these green lit movies are the new directors that are given the helm. There is some definite potential for Aleksander Bach. He should be happy that he was able to do something with what he was given to work with. All that can really be said is “hey, it’s better than the Hitman movie that came out in 2007.”
‘The Iron Giant’ Re-mastered For Limited Big Screen Revival!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Fathom Events is bringing an animated family classic back to theaters so you can relive a moment from your childhood with your kids. Before he made huge waves at Disney with ‘The Incredibles‘ and ‘Tomorrowland‘, he directed a little genius of a movie for Warner Bros. named ‘The Iron Giant‘.
‘Furious 7’ Available On Blu-ray and DVD This Fall!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
After the more than $1.5 billion the film made worldwide at the box office, the film behind it all, ‘Furious 7‘ is coming to Blu-ray and DVD and On Demand, September 15, 2015.
Universal Feature Film Calendar Unveiled At CinemaCon!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
CinemaCon in Las Vegas has shown Universal rolling out release dates for highly anticipated sequels. By far, the most heartbreaking segment came when actor Vin Diesel took the stage to share the studio’s plans for ‘Furious 8‘ to be released April 14, 2017. Diesel reminisced from two years ago, when he took the same stage with Paul Walker, his costar who died as result of a car crash in 2013, when they announced the plan to move forward on the seventh film in their rocket hot ‘Fast and Furious‘ series.
Film Review: ‘Furious 7’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
It’s difficult to talk about ‘Fast and Furious 7‘ or how it’s billed ‘Furious 7‘, without mentioning the tragic accident that cost actor Paul Walker his life back in November. This accident was not part of filming, but did drastically change the story line and halted production for quite a while. Walker had not finished filming his scenes, but you wouldn’t know it, as the filmmakers used a combination of amazing CGI and stunt doubles to add him through the entire film. It’s seamless and flawless in that aspect, and yes, there is a very moving tribute to him at the end of the film, which might cause you to choke back a few tears. I know I had too.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Comes To Blu-ray In Time For Christmas!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
One of the hottest films of the summer is sure to be one of the most asked for Blu-ray’s this Christmas! ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ takes us into new corners of the Marvel Universe with bold space adventurer Peter Quill steals an extremely rare and valuable orb that becomes the focus of a dogged bounty hunt. In order to run from his enemies, Quill forges an unlikely and uneasy truce with Rocket, a gun-crazy raccoon; Groot, a tree-like strongman with low verbal skills, a deadly assassin named Gamora and Drax who is focused mainly on revenge. Once the true power of the orb is discovered, the unlikely band of heroes comes together in a final battle that will decide the fate of the whole galaxy.
Top 10 List of Reboots We Don’t Want To See!!
Paul N., Here…
Like Bill Murray once said, “he’s got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.” You might have thought he was talking about a weather-predicting rodent, but no, he was actually talking about studio executives (the “he” is collective). Hollywood, like any business, is in it to make money. Therefore, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they choose to rehash tried and true film formulas over and over again rather than take a chance on something new. While this is understandable (albeit infuriating), it doesn’t excuse the idea that EVERYTHING deserves to be re-made. Some films, like priceless art, should never be re-made and re-sold. Every time a classic film gets re-made, audiences hold their collective breaths and hope that it won’t be a straight shot in “the feels” (that nostalgic part of your brain that remembers, with fondness, all your pop culture favorites).
Michael “explosion” Bay is releasing his latest bastardization of 80’s culture unto the world in the shape of the beloved “heroes in a half shell”. In case you haven’t been following, this has been one cluster mess after another. From alien origins to white-washed villains, this movie begs the questions: “does Michael Bay hate the 80’s? Did he have some traumatically horrific experience with toys when he was a kid? Why does he have to take a giant dump on our collective fond memories time after time?” Read the rest of this entry »
Hillary’s Review of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’!!
Hillary T., Here…
I was waiting for this screening, I’m not going to lie. I was excited to see if the movie was going to live up to the hype! I mean, James Gunn, an all star cast, a killer soundtrack, Marvel? Could it do it? Guardians of the Galaxy did! From start to finish this is an action packed movie! It opens with Peter Quill’s (Chris Pratt’s) back story. 1980’s.
Film Review: Guardians of the Galaxy’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
Since Marvel became their own movie studio back in 2008 with the first ‘Iron Man‘ movie, they have quickly become one of the most lucrative movie studios in Hollywood in less than ten years. With films like ‘Iron Man‘, ‘Thor‘, ‘Captain America‘, ‘Hulk‘, and the billion dollar blockbuster ‘The Avengers‘, you can see why so many people stand in line for hours on end to see the top visual effects, greatest actors, and the fun and thrilling story lines for their favorite superheroes. And of course we all know that Marvel is now famous for connecting each of their films with cameos of heroes from other movies and those exciting end credit sequences after each of their films.
‘Fast and Furious 7’ Will Feature a CGI Paul Walker!!!
Hi, Jana here,
After months of grieving the death of cast mate, Paul Walker, shooting has resumed on the set of ‘Fast & Furious 7‘. We’ve also learned how Walker will remain in the film. “They have hired four actors with bodies very similar to Paul’s physique and they will be used for movement and as a base,” one source close to production tells us. “Paul’s face and voice will be used on top using CGI.” The same source says this is the best option the producers and Universal Pictures have decided on, the studio feels confident fans of the series will feel satisfied with the result.
Film Review: ‘Need For Speed’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I was trying to think of a movie that was based on a video game that was truly amazing. I couldn’t do it. I went through all of them, and while I enjoyed some of the attempts, nothing really stood out as being unforgettable or even that great. Sure, you have your ‘Resident Evil‘ movies and your ‘Tomb Raider‘ films, but ultimately those are still forgettable and don’t hold up all that well, although they have made a killing at the box office.
Here’s The Amazing ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Trailer!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We’ve been hearing about this film for a while now. This is Marvel’s new epic film in the whole superhero franchise. We saw a tease to this film at the end of ‘Thor: The Dark World‘ earlier last year. It’s where we saw Benicio Del Toro doing something sinister. James Gunn (Slither & Super) is directing. If you are unfamiliar with the story, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.
Netflix Picks Up Four Marvel Live-Action Series & A Mini Featuring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage For 2015 Launch!!!
Jana B., Here…
The Superhero business is a big money maker and anything associated with Marvel Comics is getting snatched up as quickly as if Speed Demon were picking up a littered yard. The geek-friendly brand has just closed a deal with media giant, Netflix, to produce at least four 13-episode series that will lead up to a miniseries of The Defenders.
Kurt Russell Is Now in the Next ‘Fast & Furious’ Movie!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
So I guess Kurt Russell is now officially a part of the ‘Fast and Furious‘ franchise. And why shouldn’t he be? He is an avid car enthusiast, likes to do a lot of his own car stunt work and is somewhat of a professional driver. Hell, you can watch the bonus footage or the actual film of Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Death Proof‘ to see just how much Russell loves cars.
The ‘Fast and Furious’ Spoof, ‘Superfast’ Has Cast Its Leads!!!
Jana B., Here….
Finally. I’m surprised it’s taken this long for there to be a spoof made from ‘The Fast and Furious‘. The writer-director team of Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg who have both brought us’Vampires Suck‘, (as if ‘Twilight‘ didn’t already show us that), and ‘Meet The Spartans‘. Personally, they ought to be grateful King Leonidas isn’t around to kick their arses all over the place for that one, but I digress. They’re sticking to the method they know best by filling the roles in ‘Superfast‘ with up-and-comers.
Lucas Black is Returning For ‘Fast and Furious 7’!!!
Jana B., Here….
To all the fans yelling for more of the Sean Boswell character from ‘Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift‘, the movie gods have heard your cry and answered. Lucas Black, who starred in Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift, is returning to reprise his Sean Boswell role in Fast & Furious 7. Black, has signed a deal that calls for his character to become a regular in the series and he will be part of at least the next three installments of Universal Pictures’ most lucrative film franchise. Fast & Furious 7 will be released next July 11.We most recently saw Black flex his acting muscles as Pee Wee Reese in the Jackie Robinson film ‘42‘. Before that he featured in ‘Friday Night Lights‘, ‘Cold Mountain‘ and my favorite Lucas Black role as Jeep Hanson in ‘Legion‘.
Film Review: Suzanne reviews “Riddick”
Hi, Suzanne L., Here….
Keeping an open mind about the third installment of movies featuring Richard B. Riddick (Vin Diesel) was admittedly difficult. After enjoying 2000’s Pitch Black, the second movie, Chronicles of Riddick, did not live up to the expectations and the budget it was given. Within the first 15 minutes of the latest movie, Riddick, my open mind was wasted. The newest version rehashes old story lines, needs some serious editing, and cannot decide if it is going for cult-kitsch horror or serious action drama.
Film Review: ‘Fast & Furious 6’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Universal’s biggest film franchise has hit number six with more than $1.5 billion in previous sales. And it looks like this new sequel/prequel will even push that amount further into another billion, despite its awful dialogue and numerous over-the-top, zany action sequences, which seems to make the audience laugh more often than cause suspense. That being said, this film does deliver what the audience has wanted since the first film. That is all of the original actors are back this time, which includes Michelle Rodriguez. I have no doubt this will score big at the box office. At least Universal seems to think so, as they have already greenlit part 7, which will be released next July and promises more stars and bigger action.
Mike Dishes It Out Cold on the 2013 WWE ‘Royal Rumble’!!!
Mike P. Here…
The Rock is the new WWE Champion, and this guy and I are pissed off about it – CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW PISSED OFF WE ARE!!
Yes, The Rock was my favorite WWE performer in wrestling’s heyday at the turn of the millennium. But in 2003, Dwayne Johnson left WWE to become the thinking man’s Vin Diesel. He used his success as a WWE Superstar to springboard into movies, and that’s great. But CM Punk doesn’t want to springboard anywhere. CM Punk wouldn’t trade the WWE Championship for a featured role in the Fast and Furious franchise, and no one looks at CM Punk and thinks “Oh yeah, the strong man’s William H. Macy.”
Katee Sackhoff(Starbuck) To Co-Star in ‘Chronicles of Riddick’ Sequel!!!
Hi Bryan Here…..
That’s right. Badass actress Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) is in final talks to play the female lead opposite Vin Diesel in the untitled ‘Chronicles Of Riddick’ sequel. Sackhoff will play Dahl, a Nordic mercenary tracking Riddick. Production on the sequel resumed recently in Montreal after a two-month break due to money issues. Katee is just awesome in everything she does. I can totally see her carrying this movie. She is that awesome. Hopefully this highly anticipated sequel gets on the right track and comes out soon. Your thoughts?
FX Now Holds All the Cards in Raising Blind!!!!
The Bishop Charlotte Reporting….
FX has bought the rights to Vin Diesel’s poker drama Raising Blind, the larger-than-life actor’s first small screen credit. After the success of…well, every Fast and Furious movie, Diesel is settling into the executive producer’s chair of his television project. There’s no time for starring, however, as Diesel has yet another Fast and Furious sequel coming up as well as a new Riddick installment (Whyyyyyyyy?).

Deserted Samurai Rides With The “Fast Five”!!! (A Review)
Hi Bryan Here…
I have a fresh review of the new Fast and Furious film, “Fast Five”. This review comes from one of our newest contributors to the Boomstick site so let us all give a warm welcome to Deserted Samurai.
“Fast Five, or as I like to call it, 2 Fast too Fiveious. If you haven’t been a fan of the more recent Fast & Furious movies then this may not be the movie for you, as it basically has the same feel as the previous film (Fast & Furious). HOWEVER, if you want to see several late model cars ripping up streets and burning more fuel than you could eventually get from Jurassic Park, then believe me when I say that this is the film for you!
JANET WHITE’S BEST/WORST LIST OF 2015!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
Below are my Top 10 Best Films and Top 3 Worst Films of 2015 that I was either blessed or, in some cases, annoyed to screen, 36 in all (I also screened four DVD and/or Blu-ray releases). Feedback is encouraged whether you agree, disagree, think I’m nuts (I am a little crazy), or if you think of a film that I reviewed which should have been included. Here you go:
The Future Looks Bright For ‘The Fast And The Furious’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
To the folks that think the ‘Fast and Furious‘ franchise is coming to an end because of various reasons, been too long of a series, how many more car chases and crashes can they really come up with? and most importantly, the death of long-time star, Paul Walker, let’s just say, that’s not the case. We’ve got some intel that not only are there more sequel’s in the works, but the franchise plans to expand even further.
Are You Going Back? Because We Are – ‘Back To The Future’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Are you a fan of the trilogy film series ‘Back to the Future‘? Are you going to be in Los Angeles October 21 – 25, 2015? Do you have an extra $800 to spend? If the answer to any of these questions is “yes” then you can be part of the 30th Anniversary celebration the celebrated trilogy entitled ‘We’re Going Back‘! This is a week-long event you will NOT want to miss if you’re a truly die-hard fan of all things time-travel, the 80’s, Michael J. Fox and Robert Zemeckis this should be your fall Mecca.
BRYAN’S MUST OWN BLURAY/DVD’S FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
Playing catch up. So this is a week late, but that’s better late than never right? Well anyway, this is a pretty small week for releases so let us jump right in and get to all the goodies. Some of the must own blu-rays include ‘Hobo With A Shotgun’, ‘Das Boot’, plus some other goodies. As usual, in this article, you will get some info about the disc and the extras that come with the movie as well as a personal opinion about the movie and a link to purchase the film over at AMAZON where you can save quite a bit of money, and it will give a small percentage kick back to this site so we can continue bringing you excellent stories and sales.
Enjoy and Here We Go!!
