Kubo And The Two Strings
by Ben Simon, November 29, 2016 | Category: Blu-ray
Laika steps up stop-motion, and largely western animation in general, with this beautiful and deeply heartfelt tale, nicely showcased on this disc.
Moana
by James R Whitson, November 28, 2016 | Category: Film
Disney knows their way around princess movies. But while Moana is very beautiful and very entertaining, who knows how far they could have gone if they’d taken a few more risks instead of playing it safe.
Finding Dory
by Ben Simon, November 18, 2016 | Category: Blu-ray
Pixar’s Nemo sequel is a movie in search of a plot and, despite huge audience approval, one just doesn’t get the feeling the filmmakers were really invested in what amounts to being a major creative disappointment.
Trolls
by Dacey Booker, November 7, 2016 | Category: Film
Its hairy heroes and pop tunes won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those in the mood for cheery fun, Trolls provides plenty of charms.
Back In Time
by Ben Simon, October 21, 2016 | Category: DVD
Back In Time strives to entertain with stories of making Back To The Future and the fan community that has built up around the trilogy, but you’ll end up using your remote to travel forward and save a few minutes.
Storks
by James R Whitson, September 28, 2016 | Category: Film
Storks is the kind of movie you’ll want to watch over and over. With great animation, top-notch voice talent, an engaging story, and incredible humor, this film delivers.
The Jungle Book
by Ben Simon, September 9, 2016 | Category: Blu-ray
A terrific audio-visual presentation, commentary and documentary bolster this disc debut for Disney’s triumphant re-do, though it feels more might come in a promised 3D edition.
Kubo and the Two Strings
by James R Whitson, August 24, 2016 | Category: Film
A beautiful looking film with a unique plot, some surprising turns, bold choices, and an emotional core, Kubo and the Two Strings is magical storytelling.
Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
by Dan Short, August 23, 2016 | Category: Film
Kingsglaive boasts the most impressive, photo realistic animation to date. But the narrative doesn’t live up to the storytelling standards of the video game franchise it is based in.
Sausage Party
by James R Whitson, August 14, 2016 | Category: Film
Sausage Party is irreverent, pornographic, sacrilegious, bigoted… and pretty funny! The story is weak but if raunchy humor and seeing touchy topics get ridiculed is something you’re hungry for, then this film will hit the spot!
Ice Age: Collision Course
by James R Whitson, July 24, 2016 | Category: Film
It may be a stale pun to make but it’s still funnier than almost everything in Ice Age: Collision Course: hopefully this franchise is now extinct.
Only Yesterday
by Randall Cyrenne, July 18, 2016 | Category: Blu-ray
A young woman from Tokyo reflects back to her life at age ten, leading to a re-evaluation of who she is now. The final theatrical Studio Ghibli film to make it to disc in North America is now here.
The Secret Life of Pets
by James R Whitson, July 11, 2016 | Category: Film
Secret Life barely checks the boxes for what it needs to do and never excels at any of them. A young studio like Illumination should aspire to more; hopefully they’ll learn some new tricks before they get too set in their ways.
