Over the weekend I got Congo, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (starring Jeremy Brett) on Blu-ray. Earlier this month I finally picked up the fourth and fifth seasons of Ghost Whisperer on DVD to complete my series collection.

Knew who she was but wasn't that familiar with her career. The Miracle Worker is a great movie, though.

Saw yesterday with Batman v Superman: * Suicide Squad - Not a Will Smith fan but looking forward to seeing Joker and Harley on big screen. * The Lego Batman Movie - I hated The Lego Movie, so zero interest in this. * X-Men: Apocalypse - My second most anticipated movie of the year. * Warcraft -...

Will Definitely See: (in order of desire) * Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice * X-Men: Apocalypse * Captain America: Civil War * Suicide Squad (mostly just for Harley Quinn and the new Joker) Interested In / Might See: * Criminal * USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage * The Legend of Tarzan *...

My final tally of what I saw in 2015 (I'm going to include new ones I saw at home just for convenience), ranked in order of how I rate them. Movies with * are ones I saw in the theater. Mad Max: Fury Road* - 5/5 Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation* - 5/5 Spectre* - 4/5 Chappie - 4/5 Tremors 5...

An unusually light Christmas for movies, but I got Back to the Future: The Complete Adventures on Blu-ray and Phil Collins: Live In Montreux on DVD.

The Force was definitely not strong with this movie. The same issue that plagued J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films plagues this one: it feels less like a legitimate installment in the franchise and more like a generic action movie with a famous brand name slapped onto it. Plus, it's essentially a...

Bought Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation on Blu-ray yesterday.

Physical media forever! I don't stream or download. For new releases, I buy Blu-ray. For catalog titles, I buy DVD or (if it's a noticeable improvement) Blu-ray, whichever is available. No reason to deny myself something I like just because it's only on DVD and not Blu-ray. And I hardly ever...

Had never heard of this until seeing a promo at the theater over the weekend. Looked interesting. I might check it out when it premieres on TV.

Went to Best Buy yesterday, and bought The Pyramid on DVD (was a lot cheaper than the Blu-ray) and the new Army of Darkness Collector's Edition Blu-ray from Scream Factory. It was great being able to walk into a store and buy one of these limited/collector's edition cult catalog releases on...

My Vampires Blu-ray from Twilight Time arrived today. Can't wait to watch it this evening. Always enjoyed this movie.

Got the Blu-ray of John Carpenter's Body Bags in the mail yesterday, so now I'm all caught up on Scream Factory's Carpenter releases. I confirmed it with a few other owners of the set just to be on the safe side. There is a cheaper version of the box set, but it lacks the alternate cuts of...

Just bought the limited edition Twilight Time Blu-ray of John Carpenter's Vampires. Doesn't ship for at least two weeks, but wanted to get my order in on Day 1 just to be on the safe side. It has a mono track, but despite saying "Original Mono" on the packaging, it's actually just a mixdown of...
