Get Smart

November 6, 2008 // 0 Comments

When I first saw the trailers for "Get Smart" in theaters some time ago, I thought to myself, "This can't be good." The trailer however, did have some funny moments that were very Maxwell Smart-ish, somewhat tempering my [...]

November 5, 2008 // 0 Comments

The guise of a feature film correlating with a video game is frequently suspect, although if you've been on the ground long enough, you'll recall the "Super Mario Brothers" movie from 1993, much less the Pac Man cartoons series that [...]

November 4, 2008 // 0 Comments

It has become cliché to say that truth is stranger than fiction. The Showtime series "This American Life" does not make this trite claim. It demonstratively proves it. According to the blurb on the back of the DVD package, the show is [...]

The James Bond titles have been some of the most stellar and memorable DVD releases in the past and eagerly, of course, we were awaiting the first of the films to appear on Blu-Ray. The first of the Broccoli-produced movies, the 1962 classic "Dr. [...]

The Beach Boys And The Satan

October 17, 2008 // 0 Comments

No one would dare accuse Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys of occult activities and Satanism. Say what you will about the downward spiral of Wilson and his bandmates during the turbulent sixties, but the devil didn't make them do it. The story of Brian [...]
