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.
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.
Rent It I never actually got around to watching the original Honey , but I did see the trailer and TV spots and stuff, so I kinda get the general idea of what happens. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and Read the entire review
Skip It The Show: Â The BBC has been putting out some great SF/Fantasy shows inrecent years. Â The new DoctorWho is one of the best shops onthe air, Torchwood is excellent, and BeingHuman is always fun to watch. Â 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.

I’m starting to feel a surge of ’90s nostalgia lately, which is something I thought I’d never say. Though, to be fair, it’s really only for the cinema of the decade, and mainly due to the recent spate of Miramax films making their way to Blu …
Rent It “Now look — you meet an old lesbian, huh? And a friend of yours gets a headache. All of a sudden, it’s sorcery and witches!” Part of what I love so much about Blue Underground is how wildly unpredictable their release slate can be.
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from the film’s promotional materials, not the Blu-ray edition under review. One mark of an excellent documentary is its ability to draw you into a topic, a debate, or–as in the case of C line Danhier’s Blank City –a “scene” in which the viewer may not even have had any very deep or sustainable interest at the outset …
Recommended THE FILM: By dialing back the weed humor and bringing the action home for the holidays, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas earns fresh laughs despite its string-of-high jinks story. Stoners need not worry; pot still plays a central role in the plot, as does cocaine and a waffle-making robot, but the follow up to Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and Harold & Kumar Escape from …
Recommended The Movie: Co-written and co-directed by Tak Sakaguchi and Yudai Yamaguchi, the former probably best known to western audiences as the star of Versus and Battlefield Baseball , Nikkatsu imprint Sushi Typhoon’s latest offering is Yakuza Weapon .
