Josh Zyber — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 12:00:47 +0000

Who says Hollywood is out of ideas? A major studio made a buddy action flick about an Uber driver this year. Take that, skeptics! I can’t wait for the GrubHub movie. New Releases (Blu-ray) Stuber – Comedian Kumail Nanjiani attempted to cash in on all the good will he earned for The Big Sick by...

Uncovered: Hollywood, We Have a Problem

Josh Zyber — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 16:00:21 +0000

This fad of so-called “pop art” Blu-ray covers really must stop. Why is it that every graphic designer who works for a home video studio suddenly thinks he’s Roy Lichtenstein or Andy Warhol? Fellas, none of you is as talented as Roy Lichtenstein or Andy Warhol. The work you’re churning out is U-G-L-Y. The following...

‘De Palma’ Review: Musings from a Moviemaker

Philip Brown — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 19:00:57 +0000

It’s strange to imagine that a film dedicated to the great Brian De Palma would be primarily a static shot of a talking head. Love or loathe the movies that the Hitchcock successor spat out over the last 48 years, they could never be described as “talky.” In fact, the filmmaker even mentions his hatred...

Full Metal Jackets: Comic Book Confidential

Josh Zyber — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:00:23 +0000

Here’s a conundrum for you: If the whole point of SteelBook packaging is to offer fans an aesthetically pleasing collectible to display on their movie shelves, then why, pray tell, would a studio like Universal release a whole wave of Blu-ray SteelBooks with butt-ugly artwork on them? Somebody please explain this to me. Universal’s line-up...

In honor of the FBI’s extremely belated capture of notorious Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger, who’d been a fugitive for 16 years (12 of them on the Ten Most Wanted list), this week’s Roundtable topic seemed like a gimme. We’re of course going to list off our favorite mob or gangster movies. What are yours?...

March Movie Madness: Voldemort vs. Montana – Kimball vs. Tannen

Aaron Peck — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 19:00:38 +0000

Who would’ve thought that our closest fight yet in March Movie Madness would be between Judge Doom and William Wallace? The two ran neck and neck during the entire voting period, but Judge Doom finally squeaked out a narrow victory at the end. On the opposite side of the bracket, Scott Pilgrim handed a vicious...
