Hot on the heels of news that Spider-Man will remain part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after all, the character’s latest solo adventure arrives on Blu-ray and Ultra HD to collect all your spare dollars.

Now Streaming: That Guy Dick Miller

Adam Tyner — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 13:00:58 +0000

There are only so many movie stars to go around, yet someone has to play the snarky next door neighbor or Police Officer #2. Dick Miller may not have become a household name from those sorts of roles, but chances are that whenever you see him on-screen, you think, “Hey, I know that guy!” Audiences...

Christmas is once again almost upon us, which means that it’s the season to watch some Christmas movies. I can’t speak for everyone, but in my home, the comedies get a lot more mileage than the melodramas. What are your favorites? Brian Hoss When it comes to Christmas comedies, one film tops Santa’s “Good” list,...

Christmas Movie Countdown: Week 1 – Animated Features

Junie Ray — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 20:00:13 +0000

I’m a sentimental fool who still loves Christmas. For the next 25 days, I’ll be watching Christmas movies, playing Christmas songs, and donating money to anyone I see standing outside with a red bucket and waving a bell in the freezing cold. I like to start the December holiday season with animated Christmas movies and...

Josh Zyber — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 19:00:52 +0000

In last week’s Roundtable, we looked at some of the TV clichés that annoy us the most. This week, let’s pick apart plot holes in popular movies. Even otherwise good movies sometimes suffer plot holes. What we’re specifically looking for here are places where a movie’s script either contradicts itself or just plain doesn’t make...

Full Metal Jackets: SteelBooks As Far As the Eye Can See

Josh Zyber — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:00:29 +0000

At this point, I feel like I should just start signing my paychecks over directly to Zavvi. The UK retailer has turned into a real haven for SteelBook collectors, especially in recent months with a seemingly endless parade of metal case exclusives. Zavvi has announced so many Blu-ray SteelBooks, in fact, that I’ve had trouble...

Monster Madness: Killer Rabbit vs. Stripe – Cthulhu vs. Vermithrax

Aaron Peck — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:00:06 +0000

As I write this, the Monster Madness battle between the Balrog and Gamera is still too close to call. That fight will come down to the wire. In Tuesday’s other match, the Predator easily hunted down and dismembered poor old Grendel. Today, we find out if a Gremlin is any contest for a killer rabbit,...

Monster Madness: King Kong vs. Gamera – Critter vs. Stripe

Aaron Peck — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 20:00:51 +0000

Last week, the Giant Squid showed that it has the ability to combat an aerial assault from the Fell Beast, and Samael’s resurrection power proved to be too much for Kothoga. This time around, King Kong goes toe-to-shell with Gamera, while a Gremlin finds out what a nuisance Critters can be. Both of these beasts...
