Highly Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from promotional materials and other sources, not the Blu-ray edition under review. I am not sure what is more disturbing: James Cagney’s performance as the sociopathic gangster Ralph Cotter in the 1950 film Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye or the fact that Phil Spector was allegedly watching the movie in his limo the night he shot …
Rent It The Movie: The latest film from the animated wing of 20th Century Fox is Epic , following in the wings of similarly one word-titled animated films full of adventure, wonder and bravado. But just how well this film measures to the recent crop of similar ones in the genre remained to be seen for me until I finally experienced the slightly hyperbolic Epic on Blu-ray.

Midway through Pain & Gain , as the Rock is grilling some human hands and feet over a charcoal grill, a title card appears informing the audience that “This is still a true story.” This mid-’90s set slice of Bayhem is based on true events, chronicled in several Miami New Times articles and a book by …

Highly Recommended Love Me Tender (1956) was 21-year-old Elvis Presley’s very first movie.
Recommended Let’s be honest: a lot of movies and TV shows from our childhoods just don’t hold up now, since kids are much more forgiving of…well, total crap. Disney’s loose adaptation of Robin Hood (1973) was a personal favorite growing up, mostly because a friend of mine always seemed to be watching it when I came over.

Highly Recommended The Movie: Everyone enjoys Matthew McConaughey as a bit of a loose spoke on the bicycle wheel and hope that he does a Dave Wooderson with each movie role.
