Ant-Man and The Wasp Blu-ray Review
Ant-Man and the Wasp is not destined to be much more than a footnote in the history of Marvel Studios, but the Blu-ray/Digital release, like the movie itself, is an absolute blast.

Ant-Man Blu-ray Review
Ant-Man hits Blu-ray this week, which means we're taking a second look at this Marvel origin/ heist story and breaking down the special features to let you know if it's "Shelf-worthy".
The World’s End Review
Despite a jarring transition to its genre story this time out and not being the same laugh a second riot that Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were, Edgar Wright's trilogy capping The World's End becomes the best of the trilogy simply through being incredibly thoughtful (on top of being hilarious).
Interview: Edgar Wright & Nick Frost
That Shelf sits down with writer-director Edgar Wright and actor Nick Frost to talk about their trilogy capping comedy The World's End , working with Simon and everyone they have grown close to one last time, what separates this effort from the recent glut of ”manchild” moves, how nostalgia for music is a trademark of stunted adolescents, what their next plans together might be like if they ever happen, the one awkward thing that Frost always seems to have to do on his wife’s birthday, and why Wright has changed his opinion on Bad Boys 2 (somewhat).
The Adventures of Tintin Review
It is rare that a film is released in Europe before North America, unless it is a European production. And while The Adventures of Tintin is technically not European, its roots are, and so its release here in the United Kingdom last week was appropriate.
Attack the Block Review
Having never been to London, what I know of it comes from television and film: fish and chips, strawberries and cream; a love for tennis and football. They have funny accents and use weird words like 'bobby' instead of 'policeman', 'boot' for 'trunk', and 'shag' for 'sex'. And now, after watching Attack the Block , I know not to fuck with their inner city youth - especially if you're from another planet.
Paul Review
The masterful cinematic combination of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost have oodles of talent on their own; but bring the three of them together, and they hit a whole new level of brilliance. Separate the trio, and while the work is still very good, it doesn’t quite reach the same peak. Scott Pilgrim is one example of this; and now Paul is another. Not a great film, but a very good one.
