Black Dynamite – Blu-Ray Review

Scott Sanders and Michael Jai White have teamed up on Black Dynamite to make a spoof/homage of black exploitation films of the 60’s and 70’s and the results are a fun and often hilarious movie that hits all the right notes.
The year is 1972, and Black Dynamite is the baddest mother on the streets, kicking [...]

DVD Review – Mary and Max

Mary and Max is another quality animated entry from 09 which has proven to be one the strongest animation years in the history of cinema.
This stop motion animated tale is inspired by the director Adam Elliot’s experience with a pen pal and focuses on a long lasting writing relationship between a young girl in Australia, [...]

New York, I Love You – DVD Review

The 2nd anthology film in the I Love You series this time stops in New York and the results are just as great as the Paris anthology, Paris, Je T’aime.
The film follows a loosely connected group of individuals as we watch their experiences with love through a series of short films and connecting vignettes.  The [...]

Bronson – DVD Review

Nicolas Refn’s Bronson is a portrait on Britain’s most dangerous inmate who is portrayed in an incredible performance by Tom Hardy through a journey of solitude and violence told with incredible style.
Bronson, or Charles Bronson, is our title character – but not that Charles Bronson.  Our portrait is of Michael Gordon Peterson who adopts the [...]

The Cove

This documentary on the dolphin slaughter in Taijii, Japan is an informative and eye opening story that is all together thrilling and exciting as the attempts to get footage of the slaughter in the cove unfolds.
What started as an ocean degradation documentary by Louie Psihoyos and members of the Ocean Preservation Society (OPS) quickly turns [...]

DVD Review – Sugar

Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s second picture is another low budget indie effort that is all at once a fantastic portrait of both the Dominican baseball path, the pressures of the minor leagues, and immigrant life in America.
Sugar is a member of the Kansas City baseball school that farms players into their minor league system [...]

World’s Greatest Dad

Bobcat Goldthwait’s latest film is a pitch black comedy revolving around the struggle of a writer who wants to be famous and the revisionist history nature of high school and the results are a solid effort that tells a touching if a bit disturbed story of family.
Goldthwait’s film revolves around a single dad, Lance, and [...]

DVD Review Friday – “Starship Troopers”

Directed by: Paul Verhoeven
Cast:
Casper Van Dien
Dina Meyer
Denise Richards
In an unspecified time in the future a group of high school graduates sign up for the military in an ultra-fascist, militaristic society to kill space bugs. No, no, no, don’t leave yet. It’s not as bad as it sounds.
I remember forcing one of my relatives to [...]

DVD Review Friday – “Ong-Bak”

Directed by: Prachya Pinkaew
Cast:
Petchtai Wongkamlao
Tony Jaa
Pumwaree Yodkamol
We’ve seen this plot a thousand times. The head of a sacred statue gets stolen from a small Thai village and Ting (Tony Jaa) must go on a bone-breaking spree to get it back with the help of an ex-member of the village named Dirty Balls (Petchtai Wongkamlao). Yes, [...]

Assassination of a High School President

Assassination of a High School President has gone through a long process to get to the masses, a Sundance 08 film that received a decent amount of praise and deemed marketable has finally hit DVD almost two years later and I don’t know why it took so long.
The film follows a sophomore student, Bobby Funke, [...]
