Big Daddy

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

"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 These phrases, as outdated as they may [...]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

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 [...]

Notting Hill

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 [...]

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 [...]
