Baraka

October 7, 2008 // 0 Comments

I first saw "Baraka" 10 years or so ago when it first appeared on DVD. Immediately I was intrigued and striken by the film's remarkable cinematography. Unlike other documentaries, which rely heavily on narration, "Baraka" uses its [...]

xXx:State Of The Union

October 1, 2008 // 0 Comments

Lee Tamahori is the director of a respectful handful of films including "The Edge" from 1997 and the James Bond film "Die Another Day" from 2002. "xXx: State Of The Union" is, of course, the 2005 sequel to the Vin Diesel film [...]

L. A. Confidential

September 30, 2008 // 0 Comments

"L. A. Confidential" was clearly one of the best films of 1997, and it garnered an impressive number of Academy Award nominations. In a hopeless face-off against the behemoth "Titanic", it even succeeded in winning two of the awards, [...]

Run Fatboy Run

September 26, 2008 // 0 Comments

Since the incredible "Shaun Of The Dead, " Simon Pegg has become a warrant for laughs, an icon for dry British humor, but with much less talk than, say, Ricky Gervais. When I got my hands on his latest film "Run Fatboy Run" that is now [...]

Interview With The Vampire

It is hard to believe it has been 14 years already since this movie first made it to theaters, but I vividly remember still how, when I first read Anne Rice's novel "Interview with the Vampire", I was impressed by the unique, romantic view [...]

Half Past Dead

Don Michael Paul directed his first feature film in 2002 with the forgettable Steven Seagal action film "Half Past Dead" and quickly went back to television. He is also the one responsible for writing the almost impossibly stupid script, [...]

The Love Guru

September 12, 2008 // 0 Comments

It's been rather quiet around Mike Myers for some time with the last Austin Powers movie already being 6 years old and Shrek not accounting for much in my book. As such I was glad to see him in a new movie when the Blu-Ray version of "The Love [...]

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

September 5, 2008 // 0 Comments

Well, here we go again, they've released into the marketplace another mindless sequel to a Paul Verhoeven film. I'm lucky enough to have escaped seeing "Basic Instinct 2", "Hollow Man 2", "Total Recall 2070", [...]

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Collector's Edition

September 3, 2008 // 0 Comments

An enchanting tale that is a prime candidate to show off Blu-Ray's incredible definition, image clarity and color range, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" has long become a fan favorite with a huge following and is a film that I have eagerly [...]

Belly

August 26, 2008 // 0 Comments

"Belly" is the first and only feature film from 1998 directed by the somewhat legendary music video director Hype Williams. Personally I hope Hype Williams makes some more films, especially after listening to the commentary, in which I gained a [...]
