Dear Universal Studios Home Video: I purchased your Bourne Identity DVD, and I am not happy. You have locked the disk so that I can’t fast forward past your coming attractions trailers. You’ve now made it less likely that I will ever buy another Universal Studios DVD. If I do buy another Universal Studios DVD,…

Yes!!! I’ve finally added Party Girl to my DVD Collection. I’ve been waiting for this one for EVER. It’s full-screen which sucks hard, and the transfer doesn’t look great. Although that could easily be the source they had to work with. It was an independent, and I don’t remember what the quality of versions I’ve…

I have got to see Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam Here’s where the movie goes so far beyond Earth adjectives that it kicked the ass off my face. Darth Vader appears on a hill and blasts at Luke with lasers while he jumps from trampoline to trampoline in the center of a field of yellow smoke grenades.…

How is it that I saw all of the crap Gen X movies like Singles and Reality Bites back in the mid-90’s, but somehow missed a great little film like Kicking and Screaming? Granted it’s kind of hard to buy all of the stars as 22 when they look and act a lot more like…

So, this was the weekend I finally got around to seeing some of those movies that everybody had been talking about when they came out. Namely Moulin Rouge and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. My preconceptions about these movies turned out to be “mostly” wrong, and I actually ended up liking both of them more…

IFC was running a short film called Blind Light. If you can find it, it’s very much worth seeing. It has this slow, languid pacing. It almost seems to border on the introspective – a feeling which is helped along a great deal by the reminiscing narrator. They keep shooting still images, or moving images…

I went to see the movie, Signs, today. I had some significant problems with this movie. Some of my problems revolve around some pretty big spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it yet, you may not want to click to see more.

On a whim, I ducked in to see the movie, Lovely & Amazing, this afternoon. It was a good film. I’m not sure what kind of distribution it has. I’m guessing it probably isn’t playing at a theater near you. If you can find it though, it’s certainly worth seeking it out. It reminded me…
