A film I’ve been touting on this blog since seeing it last December, is available on DVD (CLICK HERE to read my review), for those who missed past screenings.
The biggest, and perhaps the most anticipated film of the year, is nearing its home video release. The box set looks identical to Ridley Scott’s 5-Disc Blade Runner briefcase set (see picture below), also a Warner Bros. release.
You know the drill as always…
Will Ferrel co-wrote and starred in the hilarious, laugh until you cried and cried until you hurt film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Now it stands as an ultimate cult classic, that is one of the funniest, if not the funniest of the 2000’s, next to The Hangover and Black Dynamite.
The 1959 Marcel Camus classic Black Orpheus (Winner of both the 1960 Academy Award for best foreign-language film, and the 1959 Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or) has already been honored with the Criterion Collection treatment (in 1999); however, those who own the a copy will know just how bare it is – 1 disc with virtually [...]
“The art of cartooning is vulgarity. The only reason for cartooning to exist is to be on the edge. If you only take apart what they allow you to take apart, you’re Disney. Cartooning is a low-class, for-the-public art, just like graffiti art and rap music. Vulgar but believable, that’s the line I kept walking.” [...]
You know the drill, as always:
Sony has officially announced the DVD and Blu-ray release date of producer Will Smith’s remake of The Karate Kid, starring his son, Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and Taraji P. Henson – October 5 (expected front-face graphic on the left).
An interesting homage… although some might call it blasphemous
Sergio profiled this film last summer, June 2009, when it was announced that it would screen at the Chicago International Film Festival later in the fall (read that post HERE). A trailer for it has surfaced, and the film is now officially on DVD and VOD, so you can check it out if you haven’t [...]
Long-time readers of this blog will recall this much talked about, and cheaply made British zombie flick titled Colin.
You know the drill…
Out on DVD today, July 20, 2010… my recommendations below should be quite clear
I didn’t see it, but Sergio did, and he reviewed, which you can read HERE.
Brooklyn’s Finest is now available on DVD in the USA, as of today, July 6th. As I’ve already stated, I thought the film was well-made (technically), well-acted, sufficiently gritty, tension-filled, but also unfortunately cliched. I felt like so much more could have been done with all that talent involved. So, yes, I was a [...]
After my very first TP experience last month, I’d be lying if I said I’ll be rushing out to witness – and pay for! – another Tyler Perry film. During his appearance at the UK preview of Why Did I Get Married Too? last month, Perry asked how many people there had seen his films [...]
The Albert and Allen Hughes/Denzel Washington sci-fi film The Book of Eli, which was released last January, and officially ended it’s theatrical run in mid-May, is a certified hit on Blu-ray.
As preposterous the storyline for Law Abiding Citizen was (a film I watched for the first time ever yesterday), it actually wasn’t as horrible as I expected it to be. One thing that did surprise me a little was just how sadistic it was for a mainstream studio picture; the opening sequence was especially unexpected.
From my inbox… Here’s a film that’s been around since 2007, when it played the festival circuit, and is only now just getting a DVD release. It’s called Sister’s Keeper, and it’ll be at a DVD rental stand (online and off) on June 15th.
I don’t believe any of the writers for this blog saw Mystery Team, so none of us reviewed it. On its surface, via its trailer, it didn’t at all appeal to me; the humor did little for me. The “grown-men-acting-like-children” bit turns me off. Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, even Tracy Morgan at times, [...]
A cult classic that I haven’t seen, and was only just reminded of after I read the obituary of its filmmaker, David E. Durston, who recently passed away (on May 6). The film was released in 1971, becoming a staple of drive-ins, and was the first film ever to be rated X by the [...]
The great 1959 Brazilian film Black Orpheus, which I recently wrote about on S & A which you can read HERE is coming out in a brand spanking new restoration on Criterion in both standard and Blu-ray versions on Aug. 17.
For those of you who missed it, Antoine Fuqua’s Brooklyn’s Finest is coming on on DVD (both regular and Blu-ray versions) on July 6th from Overture/Anchor Bay. As with most DVDrelease, it will include audio commentaries, making of featurettes and deleted scenes. Hopefully among the deleted scenes will be the film’s original downbeat final ending which was [...]
The story goes… The Awkward Comedy Show is a new stand-up performance documentary spotlighting 4 African American comics who proudly consider themselves “black nerd comedians.”
