Blu-ray Highlights: Week of October 13th, 2019 – I’m Waiting for a Slyft

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...

Book Review: Room to Dream

Josh Zyber — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 12:00:00 +0000

David Lynch has been such an idiosyncratic filmmaker throughout his four-decade career that it should come as no surprise his autobiography would also be a bit unconventional. Room to Dream provides perhaps the most detailed look at the man behind Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks that Lynch himself is ever likely to endorse, but unfortunately...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of December 3rd, 2017 – I’ll See You in the Trees

Josh Zyber — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 13:00:27 +0000

The beginning of December brings us a very crowded Blu-ray release slate as all the studios move to get as much content as possible in front of consumers during the holiday shopping season. A few titles stand out from the many repackages and reissues. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Despicable Me 3‘ – After his Minions went...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of October 15th, 2017 – Back in the Swing of Things

Josh Zyber — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 12:00:37 +0000

Are any exciting new Blu-rays headed our way this week? My spidey sense is tingling… New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming‘ – People complained when Spider-Man got rebooted with Andrew Garfield just five years after Tobey Maguire, yet he’s already been rebooted again just three years since Garfield’s last movie and everyone seems fine with it....

R.I.P. Harry Dean Stanton

Josh Zyber — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 17:00:44 +0000

After having just wrapped up the new revival of ‘Twin Peaks’, veteran character actor and beloved screen presence Harry Dean Stanton passed away on Friday at the age of 91. With nearly 200 screen credits spanning from the 1950s to present, Stanton had a long and prolific career. Some of his most memorable roles included...

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.17 & 3.18 Recap: “See You at the Curtain Call”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 05 Sep 2017 17:00:42 +0000

‘Twin Peaks’ is over, perhaps for good. Whatever you may have expected or wanted the grand finale of ‘Twin Peaks’ to be, the actual conclusion David Lynch delivered is not that. Whether you find it satisfying anyway will depend on how big an apologist and a masochist you are. Did you really think the Audrey...

Weekend Roundtable: TV Shows on the Big Screen

Josh Zyber — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 19:00:30 +0000

This is such a slow week for movies that the most notable new theatrical release is actually a TV show. Four weeks ahead of its broadcast debut, Marvel is premiering the new series ‘Inhumans’ in IMAX theaters first. Would you pay to see a TV show on the big screen? If not this one specifically...

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.16 Recap: “All Things Considered, He Looks Good”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:00:07 +0000

Being a fan of ‘Twin Peaks’ is an endurance test of delayed gratification. After waiting 26 years between the show’s second season and its third, it took 16 episodes before the one thing that most unmistakably defines ‘Twin Peaks’ finally appeared. Dougie is dead! Dale Cooper has returned! Hallelujah! (Before we get into it, yes,...

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.15 Recap: “Goodnight, Margaret”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 12:00:32 +0000

Throughout this new season of ‘Twin Peaks’, it has often felt to me like David Lynch has willfully set out to frustrate and alienate even longtime fans. As if to balance things out a little before the end, this week offers several significant pieces of fan-service. The episode opens with Nadine Hurley, carrying one of...

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.14 Recap: “We Are the Dreamer Who Dreams”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 12:00:00 +0000

The ‘Twin Peaks’ episodes without Dougie are decidedly better than the episodes with him and show the potential of what this new season could, and should, be. It’s a shame there are so few like this. Buckhorn, South Dakota Gordon phones Twin Peaks to return a call from Sheriff Truman. He assumes that means Harry....

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.13 Recap: “What Is This, Kindergarten?”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 09 Aug 2017 12:00:40 +0000

‘Twin Peaks’ delivers about half a good episode this week. Unfortunately, the other half is a bunch of Dougie shenanigans and other uninteresting nonsense. Let’s get the dumb stuff out of the way first. Las Vegas The Mitchum brothers are ecstatic about their big insurance payout. With Mr. Jackpots and their bimbos in tow, they...

‘Twin Peaks’ 3.12 Recap: “Next Stop Wendy’s”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 02 Aug 2017 12:00:49 +0000

This week’s entry may be the most frustrating episode of ‘Twin Peaks’ yet… and I’m including James’ road trip story arc in Season 2 when I say that. Among other sins, the show finally brings back a beloved character, only to utterly botch the job. As I’ve complained about a couple times previously, this hour...
