Valley Girl (2020) Blu-ray Review
By Paul Rudoff on Oct. 4, 2020 at 9:42 PM in Home Video
Valley Girl (2020) is a film that just can't catch a break. MGM first announced a musical remake in February 2012, but it was halted until November 2016. Casting announcements continued until May 2017 and principal photography began that same month. Following the completion of filming, MGM scheduled the film for release on June 29, 2018. However, the film was delayed following controversies surrounding actor Logan Paul, who portrays Mickey. The film was then going to get a wide theatrical release in 2020, but the pandemic put the kibosh on that, forcing the studio to give it a direct-to-digital release on May 8, 2020 instead (aside from a few simultaneous drive-in screenings). Well, after all of the controversy and bad luck surrounding this film, is it any good? Read on to find out...

James Bond 007 DVD Booklet PDF eBooks
By Paul Rudoff on Sep. 7, 2020 at 11:14 PM in Home Video
When I "upgrade" to a later DVD or Blu-ray release, I'll usually check to make sure that everything from the old DVD is on the new DVD/Blu-ray. Most of the time it is, but what always falls victim to the "porting over" process are physical items, such as liner booklets. Some of these booklets are worth preserving. So, before I put my old James Bond DVDs up for sale, I scanned in all of the booklets and made them into PDF eBooks so they can be preserved. Read on to find out more about them...
