Usually I’ll give out two Blu-rays or DVDs per week, but sometimes simply one will hold the water (horrible pun intended!) This week I’m giving away my Blu-ray copy of Aquaman. The digital code is also included in the release! Entry details below!
Brinsley Forde as Blue in FrancoRosso’s Babylon. (Kino Lorber)
Though it was released in 1980, the British film Babylon has never played in the United States until now. Thanks to Kino Lorber, this reggae infused drama is now playing in select cities and if you’re looking to expand your cinematic horizons, look no further.

Being part Filipino, I’m going to have a natural bias for movies that deal with my heritage. Although the DVD cover art for 100 Yardsaccurately shows a quarterback (Steven Brewis) facing the bright lights, did you know this faith based film is set in the Philippines. It’s an interesting film, and spend a few minutes to see why 100 Yards may be worth checking out.
Kiefer Sutherland’s sophomore album Reckless & Me comes out April 26 via BMG. A mixture of ballads and country rockers, the project is produced by Jude Cole. Sutherland also does an excellent cover of Cole’s track “Open Road” in the new album – further details below!

I really loved director/writer James Gunn’s (Guardians of the Galaxy) take on the vigilante superhero universe with Super, and now he’s bringing his family into the mix with Brightburn. While Super was an inspired (and heartbreaking) riff on Batman, Brightburn takes on the Superman myth head on, and the trailer is absolutely fantastic.
During a recent interview with Superstore actors Lauren Ash and Mark McKinney, I asked them to name their favorite films. Ash picked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and McKinney chose the French comedy La Cage Aux Folles (later remade as the Robin Williams and Nathan Lane feature The Birdcage). Check out the video below!

In this installment of Flick City we have Chicago Fire actress Kara Killmer discussing her love for the Tom Hanks feature Apollo 13. I also added a video of Killmer recounting some of the jobs she worked before landing steady work as an actress. Videos are below!
It was a great movie weekend for me, as I finally checked out Koreeda’s Shoplifters and also followed Patton Oswalt’s advice to watch Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru and, as of this moment, it’s one of my all time favorite films. Check out the video below as Oswalt talks about the three movies that will make you rethink your life!!
