Finally the feature film from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew is going to be rereleased on DVD on May 6th of this great year. This title has been one of the hardest to attain online unless (until now) you have large wads of cash. I’m pre-ordering it now, and at a pre-order price of [...]

Attention Mysties! MST3k: The Movie on DVD!!!
January 29, 2008Review: Cloverfield
January 28, 2008Hollywood’s hottest producer and director of the moment is “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams, and after month’s of immense secrecy, his newest film, “Cloverfield,” has been released. The film, directed by Matt Reeves (who cocreated the acclaimed series “Felicity” with Abrams), isn’t perfect, but is a sufficiently refreshing horror/sci-fi/thriller piece that is [...]
The Worst of 2007
January 25, 2008I don’t really see bad movies, but the following ten movies were all either disappointing or just plain sucked. I had high hopes for a lot of the “movies” but I was just declined happiness.
10. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End – Unoriginal, I was waiting for it to end.
9. The Last Mimzy – [...]
R.I.P. Heath Ledger
January 22, 2008This is breaking news right now, it’s not even really on the internet yet. One of the greatest actors of our generation Heath Ledger was found dead in his NYC apartment. This is extremely upsetting as this was an actor who seemed to have a lot more to offer the acting world. He was a [...]
Oscar Nominations…
January 22, 2008Here they are, the nominations for the 80th Annual Academy Awards. I gotta say I’m surprised by a lot of the noms… it seems the Academy wanted to represent the films that people never saw. I for one never saw “In The Valley Of Elah” and was quite surprised to see Tommy Lee Jones up [...]
Double Review: Hairspray/Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
January 21, 2008The two big Hollywood musicals of the year were Adam Shankman’s family friendly remake of John Waters’ classic “Hairspray” and Tim Burton’s eerily fun film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s award winning “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” While the latter film was dead-on and brought chills of excitement and surprise, the first film [...]
"Star Trek" cast = perfection
January 21, 2008I’ve been unsure of the casting of “Star Trek” so far, mostly because of the choice to cast Karl Urban as Leonard “Bones” McCoy. Well I’ve completely changed my mind after seeing this blurb on JustJared featuring the cast at the “Cloverfield” premiere. They all look terrific, and I can’t wait to see more out [...]
Thank You J.J. Abrams
January 17, 2008Here is our first REAL glimpse at how “Star Trek” is going to look. I’m speechless
Click for a much larger view, you’ll thank me.
BAFTA Nominations are Amazing
January 16, 2008I’ve always been fond of the BAFTAs, as watching the awards show is consistently entertaining. There is nothing funnier than seeing the completely uninterested brits taking their awards and giving the most humblest of acceptance speeches. Well, the nominations this year are really cool especially since they’ve nominated the likes of Paul Dano, Kelly MacDonald, [...]
R.I.P. Brad Renfro
January 15, 2008Brad Renfro, who played Josh in one of my favorite films “Ghost World” directed by Terry Zwigoff, passed on today. He was terrific in that film, and it’s terribly sad to see him go. Unfortunately he had the bad hobby of putting heroin in his body so that’s the leading belief of the cause of [...]
