Highly Recommended Twentieth Century-Fox completely reinvented itself during 1953-54. Prior to 1953, Fox was famous for classy, first-rate movies like All About Eve , Broken Arrow , The Gunfighter (all 1950), The Day the Earth Stood Still , The House on Telegraph Hill , The Desert Fox (1951), Viva Zapata! (1952), Gentleman Prefer Blondes , Titanic , and Pickup on South Street (1953)

DVD Talk Collector Series THE FILM: Please Note: The images used here are stills provided by Cinema Guild and are not taken from the Blu-ray edition under review. “Even the embers went out.” Anything resembling conventional narrative is dispensed with quickly and tersely, at the very beginning of Hungarian film maestro B la Tarr’s superlative The Turin Horse

Highly Recommended The Product: When Alex Cox was fired from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas , paving the way for Terry Gilliam to take over, it was seen as yet another example of the elusive nature of Hunter S.

Adaptation (Blu-ray)

Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 2003 standard-definition DVD edition , not the Blu-ray edition under review. It’s strange to be speaking of Adaptation in the past tense; I vividly remember rushing right out to see it upon its release nearly a decade ago.

Skip It The Show:   The BBC has been putting out some great SF/Fantasy shows inrecent years.   The new DoctorWho is one of the best shops onthe air, Torchwood is excellent, and BeingHuman is always fun to watch.   So I wasexcited when I heard that ‘the Beeb’was going to try its hand at a dark fantasy/horror series involvingghosts andzombies.

Highly Recommended The Movie: I’m just going to warn you in advance: this is going to be one of those reviews where someone is going to be exposed to a famous film for the first time. Shoot, I had no idea The Apartment had been selected to the National Film Registry a few years ago for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” (and as an aside, that would be an intriguing …

Malcolm X (Blu-ray)

February 1st, 2012 No comments

Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from the 2005 DVD , not the Blu-ray edition under review. I can clearly recall the baseball cap-centered hype surrounding the 1992 release of Spike Lee’s Malcolm X .

Skip It Just to get this out of the way, I guess, I am totally the target demographic for a trashy exploitation flick like Nude Nuns with Big Guns .

Outrage: Way of the Yakuza (Blu-ray)

January 26th, 2012 No comments

Skip It THE MOVIE: Please Note: The images used here are from promotional materials and are not taken from the Blu-Ray edition under review. Imagine a version of Goodfellas where a hired scissor man took Scorsese’s film back into the editing bay to make it less arty and more commercial.
