New & Latest Blu-ray/DVD Discs Review - Do not miss

Summary: Really don't want to miss the opportunity to watch your favorite DVDs on your all portable devices anywhere? Getting a hot DVD discs review and choose your favorite one. 
 
1. Dom Hemingway (2013)
  


 

The Buzz: Writer/director Richard Shepard has been working mostly in TV since his experiencing an indie-film breakthrough, The Matador, back in 2005. His career heated up again thanks to "Girls", where he has directed a handful of episodes, some of them featuring the incredible Richard E. Grant, who co-stars here. Jude Law finds himself surrounded by a wonderful principal cast who have found success on television; Law himself seems like a prime candidate for a cable-TV program, right? 
  
2. Afflicted (2013)

 

The Buzz: CBS Films gets into the found-footage niche market with this, the feature debut from filmmaking duo Derek Lee and Clif Prowse, who won big at last year's Fantastic Fest, where Afflicted won Best Director, Screenplay, and Best Picture. Odd that there's been very little promotion for the release though. 

3. Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
  
 

The Buzz: That Tom Hiddleston is hot enough to cause Tilda Swinton to fly from Tangiers to Detroit is one of many truths to be found in this music-soaked vampire fantasy from Jim Jarmusch, who is flirting with the mainstream for the first time since 2005's Broken Flowers. 

4. Locke (2013)

 

The Buzz: While your average movie-watcher has probably seen Tom Hardy perform in any number of movies -- dating all the way back to his big-screen debut in Black Hawk Down -- he's certainly not a household name yet. This contained thriller might not turn him into a superstar, but we sense that part of its design is to help showcase his leading-man appeal against a more subdued backdrop than, say, The Dark Knight Rises.

5. Blue Ruin (2013)

 

The Buzz: We're quite intrigued by Jeremy Saulnier's Cannes-award-winning revenge thriller which positions his lifelong friend Macon Blair as a man so haunted by another person's violent act that he fully turns away from conventional society, only to return to it as a novice assassin.

Latest Blu-ray Movie Review: Let’s Be Cops

Thanks to 20th Century Fox we had the chance to see Luke Greenfield’s new comedy Let's Be Cops prior to its Australian cinematic release. This is our review of the film, but – as usual – no matter what we say, we recommend that you still go to your local cinema and see the film because there is no better critic than yourself.

The film follows best mates Ryan and Justin (Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr.), whose lives seem to be going nowhere; Ryan is living in the Past and complains daily about not becoming a professional rugby player due to an injury, while Justin struggles to be noticed as a Video game developer in order to sell his idea for a realistic police-themed game.

The pair mistakenly dresses as police officers for a masquerade school reunion party, becoming the mock of everyone around. However, after leaving they notice how everyone in the streets looks at them with respect, especially hot chicks. Ryan and Justin decide to embrace their new-found attention by acting like real cops. What was supposed to be a fun one night gig, soon becomes a silly daily routine for these fake cops, and of course this eventually they cross paths with an actual gang.

Let's Be Cops is a peculiar comedy, since from beginning to end this comedy seems destined to fail. However, despite the unoriginal and predictable plot, the unknown actors and the all-around silliness, this new cop-comedy manages to keep viewers laughing the entire time. This is mostly thanks to the great and at times childish chemistry between Johnson and Wayans Jr. who are definitely capable to carry on with the entire film, delivering a kind of Bad Boys/Rush Hour-type of performance, for a film that could otherwise have been a straight to DVD release.

In addition, Let’s Be Cops is surprises half way through with the incorporation of the always greatAndy Garcia in a minor, but important role, giving the film an extra value.

Overall, Let’s Be Cops is a fun guilty pleasure; Even though most jokes are highly predictable and already spoilt by the movie trailers released for the film, they will still make most viewers laugh throughout the entire film, in spite of the average plot. Absolutely a film made for the sole purpose of entertaining, great to watch with your mates while enjoying a cold beer or two.
