Movie Madness: Batman vs. Lightyear – Bourne vs. Ripley

Movie Madness: Batman vs. Lightyear – Bourne vs. Ripley

March may be over, but Movie Madness is still going strong. For some reason, I thought the matchups on Wednesday would be closer. However, Tony Stark easily defeated Dr. Horrible. (I think we can all agree that if it came down to a singing contest, it would’ve been no contest at all.) In the other duel, Wolverine easily skewered the young Nazi Amon Goeth and moved on to the next round. Today, we’ll take a look at Christian Bale’s Batman versus Buzz Lightyear, and Ellen Ripley versus Jason Bourne.

Jean-Pierre Jeunet Is Unhappy with the ‘Alien Anthology’… Maybe

Jean-Pierre Jeunet Is Unhappy with the ‘Alien Anthology’… Maybe

When the ‘Alien Anthology‘ box set was released on Blu-ray a few weeks ago, most reviewers (and many fans) pointed out that only the first two movies in the series had been freshly remastered for optimal picture quality. The latter two entries were sourced from older high-def transfers prepared for the last DVD release. Now, director Jean-Pierre Jeunet has spoken out about his disappointment with the treatment that his film, ‘Alien Resurrection’, received.

Reminder: ‘Alien Anthology’ Photo Caption Contest Deadline Today

Oh man, you guys really want to win a copy of the ‘Alien Anthology‘ on Blu-ray! I can’t believe the number of entries we’ve gotten. Nonetheless, I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind everyone that the deadline for our contest is today. I’ll do my best to have a winner picked by Monday, but (due to volume) it may take me a couple extras days to post the results. See the original post for details on how to enter, if you haven’t already. Reply in the comments to that post, not this one. Good luck!

HD Recap: “In Your Face!”

HD Recap: “In Your Face!”

Halloween means different things to different people. To some, it means dressing up, going out and having fun. To others, it means eating candy until you’re sick. For me, it means watching a few too many Halloween-themed shows for my own good. Still, I’ll give the Thursday night lineup some credit. Both ‘Community’ and ‘The Office’ pulled off good episodes with strong jokes this year. There’s a bit of a Lady Gaga problem over at NBC, but we’ll get to that later

Is That What You Want? ‘Cuz This Here Is Teal!

Is That What You Want? ‘Cuz This Here Is Teal!

Earlier this year, a very interesting and very enlightening article about Hollywood’s ridiculous obsession with the colors teal and orange made the rounds through the blogosphere. I’ll be damned if every word in it isn’t true. I very much agree that this modern trend in film color grading is extremely annoying. Sadly, major filmmakers have fallen for the craze, and they’re even retroactively imposing it on their older movies. The latest victim: James Cameron’s ‘Aliens’.

In Space, No One Can See Your Grain

In Space, No One Can See Your Grain

For the moment, let’s classify this as speculation mixed with just a wee bit of paranoia. Until we can get some more clarification or confirmation, anyway. (For the record, the banner image above this post is exaggerated for effect.) Nonetheless, after an interview James Cameron gave this week, fans suddenly have a lot of reasons to worry about the video transfer quality for the upcoming Blu-ray release of his sci-fi classic ‘Aliens’.
