Home Entertanment Round-Up: 4/7/14
We kick off this Home Entertainment round-up with two Martin Scorsese comedies - The King of Comedy and The Wolf of Wall Street - before looking at new releases for Sam Raimi's Darkman , Howard Hawks' El Dorado , Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues , and Paul Schrader's remake of Cat People .

The Wolf of Wall Street Review
Martin Scorsese's best and most thoroughly insane film in years, The Wolf of Wall Street isn't for everyone and is bound to be misread by people not willing to think about the rampant greed, avarice, and drug use on display, but for those who can stomach the breakneck paced three hours with one of the worst human beings in screen history, it's a very rewarding experience.
The Great Gatsby Review
While still technically an alright movie overall and somewhat subdued by its director's usual flashy standards, Baz Luhrmann's big screen adaptation of F.

Titanic 3-D Review
Arriving in theatres almost to the day of the 100th anniversary of the allegedly unsinkable ship’s tragic demise, James Cameron’s Titanic looks and sounds as great as it did upon release 15 years ago.
Inception Review
Christopher Nolan won himself a great deal of opening weekend cred thanks to The Dark Knight ; he is likely going to need it for Inception . It’s not that Inception is a bad film—the movie is actually one of the most original major releases to come along in ages—It’s that the film feels too […]
Shutter Island Review
Martin Scorsese is a name that is synonymous with great films. It is impossible to call yourself a cinephile and not appreciate the man’s filmmaking. It’s also seemingly impossible to review one of his films without a lengthy preamble discussing his legendary oeuvre; so I’ll spare you that. We all know the great movies he’s […]
