Quigley Down Under
Tom Selleck stars as professional sharpshooter Matthew Quigley in this pseudo-revisionist western set in the Australian outback. The film opens with cowboy Quigley arriving in Australia with his custom Sharps Buffalo Rifle in hand to work for rancher Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman). Quigley’s job, or so he was led to believe before setting out from [...]
The Treasure Hunter
It’s Indiana Jones meets the Shaw Brothers when whip-wielding relic expert Qiaofei (The Green Hornet’s Jay Chou) ventures into China’s northwest desert to uncover an ancient treasure hidden beneath the dunes. And this tomb-raiding spectacle from China shames many of its American counterparts when it comes to sheer action! Stylistically reminiscent of Korean filmmaker Kim [...]
Blue Velvet: 25th Anniversary Edition
“Why are there people like Frank? Why is there so much trouble in this world?” And why don’t you buy the Blue Velvet 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray… like right now? It’s neat.

His ambitious 2008 series, Bonekickers, once again takes audiences back in time. Bonekickers follows a team of Indiana Jones-style archeologist/adventurers (and [...]
Katanagatari: Volume 1
Katanagatari, adapted from the light novels by Nisio Isin, is the story of Togame and her “swordless swordsmen” Shichika. Together they travel across Japan in search of the Mastercraft Klesha Brigners, 12 powerful katana that, in the wrong hands, threaten the power of the Shogunate. The series is divided into twelve, 50-minute episodes, or Quests, [...]
Teen Wolf on Blu-ray
Released less than two months after Back to the Future, Teen Wolf, which also starred Michael J. Fox, never quite captured the fan base of its immediate predecessor. Perhaps the premise was too absurd, or Fox looked too silly in his werewolf make-up for audiences to take the whole thing seriously. On others, such as [...]
