DVD Talk Collector Series Content: I was primarily an anime fan back in the mid 90's to the early 2000's, watching titles like Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball Z, The Big O and Trigun .
Recommended The Movie: Directed by Greydon Clark, 1980's Without Warning starts out with a great opening scene in which a middle aged hunting enthusiast (Cameron Mitchell) and his slacker/hippie son (Darby Hinton) are wandering the desert where they're quickly dispatched by weird jellyfish-like flying discs that zip through the air and attach themselves to their backs. Shortly after that, a Boy …

Highly Recommended Radio Days Blu-ray Review Radio Days is easily one of Allen's mostambitiousfilms. It is also one of the most nostalgic films ever made (regardlessoffilmmaker)
Highly Recommended It's hardly just another movie. Parts like the leading role of Audra come around once in a lifetime, and that's if you're lucky. Samantha Sherwood (Samantha Eggar) fought like hell to get her hands on the film rights to the legendary play, and she's willing to go to whatever extreme lengths are necessary to see it done justice
