Dark Shadows - Fan Favorites
04/23/2012
It's both a time of sadness and a time of joy for fans of Dark Shadows, ABC's camp classic daytime serial that ran for five years in the late sixties to great cult acclaim. Joy because they can soon bask in the garish glow of king-of-kook director Tim Burton's gloriously ott re-imagining in just a few short weeks, and sadness because actor Jonathan Frid - the original Barnabus Collins - passed away just last week in an Ontario hospital at the age of eighty-seven. Frid lived long enough, however, to know that the world would soon know his name - or, at the very least, his work.

Roadracers Blu-ray
04/23/2012
While Robert Rodriguez is now a big name, big time Hollywood director responsible for tens of millions of dollars of studio money, as anyone who has ever read Rebel Without a Crew, his deliriously insightful account of the handmade making of El Mariachi can attest, there was a time when this whole filmmaking thing was all just larks. Case in point, Roadracers, a made-for-TV genre picture produced as part of a Showtime homage series to teen drive-in movies of the 1950's, now granted a blu-ray release by Miramax seemingly on the strength of its director's brand as a grindhouse auteur.

The Muppets Blu-ray
03/29/2012
The Muppets have officially made a comeback, aided by lifelong Jim Henson fanatic Jason Segel, who produces and stars in the new sophisticated kids’ flick, eponymously entitled The Muppets, alongside a musical cast that includes Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones, a bevvy of celebrity cameos and, of course, the Muppets themselves. The Muppets, currently out on Blu-ray and DVD, brings the beloved cast of Kermit the Frog, The Great Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Animal, and Miss Piggy — among other beloved puppets-sporting-an-attitude — to the silver screen for the first time in 13 years, when the Muppets went to space and, many thought, should have stayed there.

Battle Royale Blu-ray
03/26/2012
With The Hunger Games having broken opening weekend box office takings for a film that is not a sequel, it makes sense to both revisit and re-release this bitingly satirical, sardonic Japanese import. Free to drift far from the clearly defined morality that anchors it’s more sanitized, mainstream successor in the young adult section of the bookstore, this brutal, unflinching adaptation of author Koushun Takami’s controversial novel – Lord of The Flies for the reality television age – examines many contemporary Japanese themes; authoritarianism, the generational divide, voyeurism.

The Three Musketeers
03/21/2012
More than two dozen stabs at a cinematic translation of Alexandre Dumas' epic saga of swashbuckling romance and intense camaraderie exist on record, some dating back as early as turn-of-the-century. So it's important to bring something fresh and exciting to the table. Apparently, Paul W. S. 'Everything-I-touch-turns-to-ash' Anderson thought that what the story really needed was a wholesale steampunk makeover, complete with airships, flamethrowers, and machine guns. While it might sound ghastly in principle, and really wasn't sold very well upon the picture's theatrical release, it's not actually the worst idea he's ever had.

Tower Heist Blu-ray
03/12/2012
While Brett Ratner might carry name-recognition as a filmmaker, those still weeping over the muddled mess that was X-Men: The Last Stand would likely consider the phrase “From the director of Rush Hour” to be less of a ringing endorsement and more of a thinly veiled threat. Yes, he of the blindingly glossy buddy-comedy and impossibly uneven pacing sat back in the director’s chair, for the first time since 2007, to try his hand at a bright and breezy, credit-crunch crime caper. At the time of its theatrical release, when the OWS movement was at its zenith, comparisons were liberally thrown around of this amiable attempt by B-list movie stars to embody populist pain as a blue-collar Ocean’s 11.
