Blu-ray Highlights for 2/7/12 – Love Means Never Having to Watch ‘Twilight’

Josh Zyber — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:00:29 +0000

It’s February, and Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly. Love and romance are in the air. Oddly, the Blu-ray release schedule is loaded up with lovey-dovey movies this week, and basically none on Valentine’s Day itself. I suppose that’s intended to give us time to buy and watch them in advance. As if we’d really...

Apparently, there’s a reason...

Weekend Movies: Shakespeare, Jack Sparrow and a Talking Cat Walk into a Bar…

Luke Hickman — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 17:00:27 +0000

Oddly enough, of the three wide openers this weekend, the movie with the biggest star (Johnny Depp) is getting the smallest release. An animated feline outlaw is opening the widest, while Justin Timberlake’s futuristic sci-fi thriller falls somewhere in between the two. Knowing that ‘The Rum Diary‘ is based on another Hunter S. Thompson novel,...

The Trailer Park: Shakespeare and Other Adaptations

M. Enois Duarte — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:00:24 +0000

Next to remakes and reimaginings, movie adaptations of popular books or plays can draw quite a bit of controversy and debate. They’re often compared to the original sources, and unreasonably rejected for not being “faithful” enough. In the coming months and through the early part of next year, we have a slew of film adaptations...
