Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn regularly play characters on the opposite end of the ‘cool’ spectrum. In?Mississippi Grind, they are two (somewhat) lovable losers who end up joining forces on a gambling road trip that will either leave them even more broke than they were initially or send them into a new stratosphere of wealth…
From the Warner Archive Collection,?Justice League Unlimited?bursts onto televisions everywhere in this fantastic, high definition version. For the first time, the entire series is now available on Blu-ray, featuring the episodes from July 2004 to May 2006 in the series that immediately succeeded?Justice League. With more heroes, more villains, and more team-ups, this is stellar…

The James Bond canon has reached the end of Daniel Craig’s run- he will most definitely not be back. So where does?Spectre?fall on the spectrum? What are there greatest films featuring the suave British spy? Which films should never have been made? The Duds: #24 through #17 — There’s a whole lot of Roger Moore?here….
Amy Schumer’s team-up with Judd Apatow,?Trainwreck, arrived on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD without the fanfare that it might have a few months ago.

As the one person I know who enjoyed?Terminator: Salvation, I was sure that I would find something to like in the universally panned fifth installment of the franchise. Here, future John Connor (Jason Clarke) sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back in time to save Connor’s mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke, no relation except to the Targaryens),…

Others may be whisked away to childhood and hours on the floor creating houses, spaceships, or a myriad of other things.?…
Alien life forms have interpreted 1980s messages sent into space as a challenge. Now, they have arrived on Earth to ‘play’ through three rounds of attacks to decide whether or not the Earth will be destroyed. Only a group of video game-playing thirty- and forty-year-old slackers can stop them.? If that sounds wildly entertaining –…
