Upgrade 4K Uhd from Scream Factory

Upgrade will be released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on July 4 via Scream Factory. Special features are in progress and will be announced at a later date. With any luck, maybe the new edition will help get the proposed TV series off the ground.

Produced by Blumhouse, the 2018 sci-fi action thriller is written and directed by Leigh Whannell. Logan Marshall-Green stars with Betty Gabriel, Harrison Gilbertson, Benedict Hardie, Linda Cropper, and Melanie Vallejo.

Evil Dead 2 Shirt from Terror Threads

If you’re still on an Evil Dead kick in the wake of Evil Dead Rise, you’ll want to get groovy with Terror Threads’ Evil Dead 2 design by Aaron Fulcher.

If you were casting a vote for Most Likely to Become an Electronic Killing Machine, Logan Marshall-Green (“Prometheus”) might not be the person you think of first. Low key, lanky, and fairly unassuming, he seems too chill to fit the bill.

And indeed, when we first meet him in “Upgrade,” the latest from writer-director Leigh Whannell, Marshall-Green’s character, a mechanic named Grey, is content to stay home and refurbish vintage cars for a living while his tech industry wife Asha (Melanie Vallejo) brings home the big money that affords them a futuristic smart-manor with elegantly glowing, talking walls that coolly remind them what groceries they need.

It’s the near future, one in which driverless cars are standard issue Lyfts and artificial intelligence permeates daily life. Grey, though, is more or less off the grid. Covered in engine grease, his analog cred is his calling card. So when billionaire...

Chicago – HBO’s “Band of Brothers” has been an annual bestseller around the holiday season, first on DVD and now on Blu-ray, and it seems virtually impossible that their equally-notable “The Pacific,” now on Blu-ray and DVD, would not follow it up the charts and turn out to be one of the most-given HD gifts of the upcoming season. With perfect HD picture and sound, fascinating special features, and one of the best mini-series in the history of television, this is a highlight of a very-impressive season for Blu-ray.

Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0

“The Pacific” is simply spectacular. The winner of an amazing eight Emmys, including Outstanding Mini-Series, “The Pacific” is really in a class of its own. It is much more than a mere shadow or duplication of “Band of Brothers.” It stands on its own, not merely because the Pacific arena of World War II combat was significantly different than the European fight,...

Remember that one year (2001) when the list-happy AFI (American Film Institute) decided to compete with the Globes and the Oscars in year end prizes? No, that didn't last long. But there's another AFI, The Australian Film Institute, that has been around for a long time and is in no such danger of being a one-off. This year, they're all about the amazing family crime drama Animal Kingdom which they awarded with a record breaking 18 nominations. Sure, the film is in danger of being way overhyped for people who are coming to it late (which is just about everyone given the sorry state of international distribution for dramas of virtually any kind) but for those who can slough off the "omg" raves, I guarantee you'll think it at least an insinuating and well executed crime drama.

AFI Favorites with multiple nominations

Its main competition for the coveted prizes, if you go by nomination counts,...

Animal Kingdom received 18 nominations for this year’s Australian Film Institute Awards, followed by Beneath Hill 60 (12), Bright Star (11), Tomorrow, When the War Began (8), The Tree, Bran Nue Dae (7 each) and The Boys Are Back (4)

The Best Film category will see Animal Kingdom competing against Beneath Hill 60, Bright Star, Bran Nue Dae, The Tree and Tomorrow, When the War Began.

Australia’s top rated drama productions – Packed to the Rafters and Underbellly: The Golden Mile – were both absent from the main Television categories (except for Underbelly‘s two acting nods).

The winners will be revealed on December 10 (Industry Awards) and 11 (main Awards Ceremony) in Melbourne.

This is the full list of nominees:

Animal Kingdom. Liz Watts. Beneath Hill 60. Bill Leimbach. Bran Nue Dae. Robyn Kershaw, Graeme Isaac. Bright Star. Jan Chapman, Caroline Hewitt. The Boys Are Back. Greg Brenman, Tim White. Tomorrow When The War Began.

Chicago – I must admit to some trepidation about HBO’s WWII mini-series “The Pacific” from producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, debuting tonight, March 14th, 2010 at 8pm Cst. Why? Because “Band of Brothers” is the best mini-series of all time and it’s difficult for anyone to pitch a perfect game two starts in a row. I knew it would be good, but doubted it would be great. I was wrong. It’s spectacular.

TV Rating: 5.0/5.0

Far more than merely a shadow or duplication of “Band of Brothers,” “The Pacific” stands on its own for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the war in the Pacific arena of battle was much different than the European fight. There’s nothing in Europe that compares to the jungle of Guadalcanal, the main setting for the first hour of the ten-hour piece. There are hundreds of stories of the American soldier experience...
