Review: Indiana Jones – The Adventure Collection – Special Edition DVD Set
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008So, unless you’re my grandma and you’re looking forward to seeing that new E.T. VHS that everyone in the nursing home has been buzzing about, you know that the next Indiana Jones flick, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, comes out this Summer on May 22. Which inevitably means that Paramount will “celebrate” (read: cross-promote) [...]
Geek Movie Goodness: Review of The Bank Job
Thursday, March 6th, 2008As far as directors go, Richard Donaldson has been about as uneven in the quality of his work as chemist in a crystal meth lab with a bad case of Tourette’s. Sometimes you get a quality hit, and sometimes that shit just blows up in your face. Thankfully, The Bank Job echoes the perfectly-paced suspense [...]

And by “film,” I mean “amusement park attraction.” It’s the Captain EO of the 21st century, people. But with fewer kid-touchers in shiny pants. [...]
Sneak Preview: Justice League: The New Frontier
Monday, February 25th, 2008I love a story that starts with a good “what if?” premise. You know, like, “What if a nasty case of flannel poisoning hadn’t led to the Star Wars prequels?” Just think of what the world would look like today without all of that Hayden Christensen pollution! Justice League: The New Frontier launches from the [...]
Reader Poll – How did you like Cloverfield?
Monday, January 21st, 2008America has welcomed Cloverfield with $41 million in ticket sales, the highest ever made by a movie in a three-day January weekend. Meanwhile, the theater in which I saw Cloverfield last night greeted the end credits with stunned, silent disappointment and a smattering of “‘boos.” Oh, and sarcastic clapping from some smart ass. (And, no… [...]
