Big Daddy

November 12, 1999 // 0 Comments

As one of those who actually saw "Billy Madison" in the theatre, I’ve been a fan of Adam Sandler’s solo-career films since the beginning. Unfortunately, due to other commitments (little things like a newborn baby), I was unable to catch his [...]

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

November 11, 1999 // 0 Comments

"Shagadelic", "Groovy" and "Smashing, Baby" were catch phrases you could find all over America this summer, ranging from giant billboards to commercials of all kind to print advertising. These phrases, as outdated as they may [...]

Bride Of Re-Animator

November 10, 1999 // 0 Comments

It doesn’t happen too often that a sequel to a good film turns out to be even better, and I have to admit I was very pleasantly surprised when I got to see "Bride Of Re-Animator" on this DVD from Pioneer. I greatly enjoyed Stuart Gordon’s [...]

In the early 80s, the animated feature film "Heavy Metal" became in instant cult classic upon its release to theaters. Combining flashy imagery with a lot of violence and gratuitous sex, the film was the animated version of the comic book series [...]

Over the past decade, there have been many movies, which have dealt with inner-city life and the struggle for youth to escape that life. Films like "Boyz ’N The Hood", "Menace II Society" and "Set It Off" set the stage for [...]

Notting Hill

November 5, 1999 // 0 Comments

What attracted me the most to view "Notting Hill" at first, was the fact that it is mostly located in one of London’s most colorful suburbs, the titular Notting Hill. Since I have spend quite some time in London myself, a bit of nostalgia [...]

Pinocchio

Step by step, DVD is taking one hurdle after the other. As early adopters we have been waiting and seeing Buena Vista, Paramount and 20th Century Fox come around to release DVD titles after a long time of trepidation. We have seen Dreamworks enter the [...]

Halloween: H2O

November 2, 1999 // 0 Comments

“Halloween: H2O” is letterboxed at 2.35:1 in the disc’s non-anamorphic presentation. The picture is very clear, especially during the daylight scenes, and shows only a very fine grain at times, and no artifacting. The DVD transfer appears to be [...]
