Featured Blu-ray Review: Double Impact: Collector’s Edition

July 23rd, 2019

Double Impact

Double Impact stars Jean-Claude Van Damme playing twins with opposite personalities, which was the actor’s idea. The film’s 28% positive reviews is, sadly, about average for his career at this point, but it got a Blu-ray special edition at the end of May. Does it deserve to find a new audience? Or is this for hardcore JCVD fans only? More...

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for October 2nd, 2012

October 2nd, 2012

It's the first week of the month and there is a wide variety of releases worth checking out, but not exactly a strong selection of best sellers. The biggest first-run release is Dark Shadows and while I'm looking forward to possibly reviewing the Blu-ray Combo Pack, I don't think it will be a huge hit. New Girl: Season One and The Princess Bride: 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray look great, but I'm waiting for the screeners to make final decisions. I won't get a chance to review Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection, but it is a contender for Pick of the Week. The winner of that honor is Cinderella Blu-ray, which is a classic, even if it is a little old-fashioned. More...
