Weekend Roundtable: Least Believable Screen Couple

Josh Zyber — Fri, 03 May 2019 17:00:43 +0000

The new rom-com Long Shot would have us imagine the stunning Charlize Theron falling for schlubby Seth Rogen. That movie plays the mismatch for laughs, but it reminds us of other screen romances that were less than convincing. David Krauss Sandra Bullock and… a couple of guys. You’d think it would be a cinch for...

Weekend Roundtable: Paris, je t’aime

Josh Zyber — Fri, 20 Nov 2015 20:00:36 +0000

In light of the tragic real-life events that happened in France last week, we wanted to use this weekend’s Roundtable to celebrate one of the greatest cities in the world. Over the decades, Paris has been the setting for countless movies and TV shows. What are some of your favorites? Ideally, we’d like to focus...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 28th, 2014 – Less Than Meets the Eye

Josh Zyber — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 13:00:52 +0000

This week is all about those Robots in Disguise as Michael Bay’s latest rock ’em sock ’em sequel hits Blu-ray, and everything else moves out of its way. New Releases ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction‘ – I seem to recall Michael Bay swearing that he was done with his ‘Transformers’ “trilogy” after ‘Dark of the Moon’...

Hobbitses, hobbitses, hobbitses… If you’re a fan of hobbits, or ghosts, or douchebag pop singers, this could be a great Blu-ray week for you! New Releases ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug‘ – Do you think Peter Jackson regrets his decision to expand his adaptation of one short book into three epic movies, given the...

VUDU Diaries: ‘Funny Face’

Josh Zyber — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:00:44 +0000

‘S wonderful! ‘S marvelous! One of the biggest benefits of a streaming service like VUDU is the surprising wealth of movies available for high-definition viewing that can’t yet be found on Blu-ray, including a great many classic films. Recently, I took advantage of this to take a look at the famed 1957 musical ‘Funny Face’,...

The Netflix Stream: Week of October 2nd, 2011

Dick Ward — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 16:00:19 +0000

It’s been a while, but this is a very good week to be a Netflix subscriber. We’re losing practically nothing from the stream and gaining a great deal. I highlighted two things that are leaving this week (and they’re two very good things) but that’s about all I could find on the list worth talking...

Blu-ray Highlights for 9/20/11 – Have Any Money Left?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:00:31 +0000

Last week’s Blu-ray release slate had the potential to bankrupt anyone foolish enough to buy every title worth owning. While this week may not be quite as financially devastating, the studios haven’t let up releasing some great titles. Here’s what we’re up against: ‘3D Safari: Africa‘ (First Look) ‘Boccaccio ’70‘ (Kino) ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s‘ (Paramount)...

Weekend Roundtable: Movies the AFI Top 100 Ignored

Josh Zyber — Fri, 13 May 2011 19:00:15 +0000

This week’s Roundtable spun out of last week’s topic. Specifically, it was prompted by a comment from reader Brian H, who suggested that we should put together our own list of 100 films that didn’t make the AFI Top 100 Movies list. I don’t know that we have the wherewithal to do a hundred titles...
