Weekend Roundtable: Anger Management

Josh Zyber — Fri, 16 Aug 2019 19:00:18 +0000

Anger is a very primal emotion that makes great fodder for movie plots. Our Roundtable this week looks at some of our favorite movie scenes in which characters lose their tempers and rage out. Shannon Nutt There are a lot of good choices for this one, but my favorite is the scene in Planes, Trains...

Weekend Roundtable: Doppelgangers and Evil Twins

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Mar 2019 16:00:39 +0000

With his new horror film Us, Jordan Peele taps into the very primal fear of being threatened or replaced by someone who may look just like you on the outside, but is decidedly different on the inside. This brings to mind some other stories that have dealt with the subject of doppelgängers or evil twins....

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of October 7th, 2018 – Turndown Service at Eight

Josh Zyber — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 12:00:05 +0000

New Blu-rays this week put a peculiar focus on hotels and the number eight. I feel like there’s a secret Masonic code in there that we need Dan Brown to crack. New Releases (Blu-ray) Hotel Artemis – For her first acting appearance since 2013’s misbegotten Elysium, Jodie Foster plays a nurse running a secretive hotel/emergency...

SteelBook Alert: Isle of Incredible Soldados

Josh Zyber — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 15:00:54 +0000

SteelBook art is so hit-and-miss these days that, even as a completist for certain collections, I’m left torn on whether to buy some new ones. I’m also resisting one I definitely do like for other reasons. Incredibles 2 Video Formats: Blu-ray/UHD (no 3D) Available at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE) Release date: TBD Price: $34.99 I...

Weekend Roundtable: Favorite Movie of 1987

Josh Zyber — Fri, 04 May 2018 12:00:36 +0000

You could say that Hollywood has really gone overboard with remakes… Well, you could say that if you wanted to be obnoxious with a pun, as I always do. We’re using the excuse of this week’s soon-to-be-forgotten rom-com remake as a goldie opportunity (I know, groan) to look back at some of our favorite movies...

Josh Zyber — Wed, 02 May 2018 12:00:52 +0000

After 37 years of playing the character on-and-off, Bruce Campbell is finally hanging up the chainsaw and retiring Ash Williams. In what came as a surprise to fans, the Starz network abruptly announced that the third season finale of ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ will also be the series finale. Campbell quickly followed with confirmation that...

‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ 3.01 Recap: “Die, High Prices!”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 28 Feb 2018 13:00:46 +0000

Ash Williams may have saved the world from evil, but evil has a way of not staying dead for long. ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ is back for more chainsaw-wielding mayhem. Does the series have enough gas for another season? In the very confusing Season 2 finale, Ash and friends went back in time to 1982...

‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ 2.10 Recap: “Now THAT Is a Firm Handshake”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 14 Dec 2016 17:00:19 +0000

The last episode of ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ was a lot of fun and gave me hope that the show would close its second season on a strong note. That the finale is actually rather sloppy, confusing and not entirely satisfying is perhaps a fitting reflection on this very messy season. Picking up where we...

‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ 2.08 & 2.09 Recaps: “Welcome to the ’80s, Kid”

Josh Zyber — Fri, 09 Dec 2016 18:00:34 +0000

I fell behind in my ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ viewing and had not planned to write up recaps of the show again until the finale. However, the latest episode is so much fun I have to acknowledge it. First, let’s do some quick catching up. Episode 2.08, ‘Ashy Slashy’ I wasn’t overly impressed with Episode...

‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ 2.07 Recap: “The Only Person Who Scrambles My Brain, Pal, Is Me”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 15 Nov 2016 14:00:43 +0000

The half-hour limit really hampers this week’s episode of ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’, which ends on a cliffhanger it really can’t justify. At the end of the prior episode, Ash was captured and knocked unconscious by Baal and Sheriff Tommy. This week, he wakes up in the dankest and dirtiest hospital you’ve ever seen. It’s...
