I’m sure that ’The In Crowd’ seemed like a good idea at the time. The film is a combination of ’Beverly Hills, 90210’, ’Wild Things’, and a ’whodunnit’ film. It presents us with a group of spoiled rich kids who are spending their summer [...]
It’s obvious that 20th Century Fox Home Video’s motto is ’If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.’ when it comes to ’The X-Files: The Complete Second Season’. This handsome box-set is almost identical in appearance and special features as the [...]
So, I’m looking at the box for the ’Death Mask’ DVD and I see the name James Best on it about five different places. And I’m thinking to myself, ’James Best. Where do I know that name from? Did I go to school with him?’ Well, I pop in the DVD [...]

Someone needs to send a memo to Warner Home Video and let them know that ’budget’ titles aren’t supposed to look like this. The ’Gossip’ DVD can be had for around $15 at most outlets, and it contains more bells and whistles than most big name [...]
In the past, I’ve discussed the phenomenon of "cultural baggage" and how it can be hard to approach a movie without certain pre-conceived notions. As a life-long fans of the "X-Men" comics, I approached the "X-Men" movie [...]
