Unboxed: Pulp Fiction Criterion Laserdisc

Josh Zyber — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 12:00:16 +0000

Once upon a time, in New York to be precise, Quentin Tarantino had a movie join the Criterion Collection… just one, though, and only on the Laserdisc format. Tarantino’s first movie, Reservoir Dogs, made him an instant indie darling. His second, Pulp Fiction, catapulted him into the strata of A-List filmmakers. A blockbuster smash and...

Second ReAction Worse Than the First

Josh Zyber — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:00:14 +0000

Last week, I wrote about how disappointed I was with photos of the first wave of “ReAction” retro-style movie and TV action figures from Super7 and Funko. As much as I doubted such a thing was possible, the second wave unfortunately looks even worse. This kills me, because I would really love to have quality...

Full Metal Jackets: O Canada!

Josh Zyber — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:00:38 +0000

Normally our quiet neighbor to the north, Canada hit international news headlines (not to mention both ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘The Colbert Report’) over the past week with breaking details of the balls-out insane crack-smoking Toronto mayor scandal. I certainly don’t have anything that can top that. However, more to our interests here, Amazon Canada...

Weekend Roundtable: Movie Nit-Picks

Josh Zyber — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:00:31 +0000

Let’s face it, few movies are perfect. Even some of our favorite films have flaws. Some may be tiny, but others are really glaring. Perhaps it’s one particular scene that doesn’t work, or an actor who’s miscast, or even a single line of groan-worthy dialogue. This week’s Roundtable is all about nit-picking. What small detail...

Blu-ray Highlights for 10/4/11 – Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:00:38 +0000

I would seem that, when I wrote last week’s Blu-ray update, I missed kind of a big title that was released on Friday. You know, the one involving giant robots beating the crap out of each other. Whoops. Allow me to consolidate that into this one. October is going to be another busy (and expensive)...

NBC Thursday Night Comedy 3/24/11 Recap: “The Air Is Too Fresh. It’s Disgusting!”

Dick Ward — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:00:39 +0000

Well, here’s a sentence I didn’t think I’d be writing any time soon. ‘The Office’ was the best show on last Thursday night. That’s not even because the other shows were bad; it was just a damn good episode. Community I haven’t seen ‘My Dinner with Andre’. I know vaguely what it is, but it’s...

March Movie Madness: Wuornos vs. The Terminator – Winnfield vs. Jones

Aaron Peck — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:00:39 +0000

Last Friday’s March Movie Madness battle left voters split about whether The Bride could actually take on one of the most iconic film characters of all time. While Han Solo pulled out the win, there were a lot of comments arguing that The Bride should have been able to easily dispatch him. In the other...

The Top 5 Action Movie Dialog Tropes – And the Actors That Say Them Best

Dick Ward — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:00:37 +0000

If you’ve seen your share of action movies, you’ve probably noticed a pattern. The plots follow one of just a few templates, and so do the characters. Even the dialog can seem like it’s picked out of some sort of handbook of bad clichés. But hey, don’t get me wrong, I love action movies. Two...
