Pardon me, but I have to get something out of the way here. I'm not to sure if I like the trend to name special edition DVDs with such over-the-top monikers like the "Don't Call Me Shirley" edition that Paramount used for its special [...]

Fun With Dick & Jane

December 1, 2005 // 0 Comments

Wildly funny is the term that comes to my mind as I think about this great comedy from the 70s that has now found its way to DVD courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Dick Harper (George Segal) is a highly paid executive in an aerospace company on [...]

The image of a drunken cowboy on top of a drunken horse with crossed legs, leaning against a brick wall, has long become the most recognized visual associated with Elliot Silverstein’s 1965 Western comedy "Cat Ballou." It has most likely [...]

When I first saw "The China Syndrome" a long time back I had no idea what the term actually means. But ever since I saw this film, it has become indelibly part of my vocabulary as the film vividly describes the effects of such a nuclear [...]
