Skip It Yeah, yeah, I get that Reindeer Games isn’t supposed to be good in the sense of…you know, anything, ever…but I couldn’t resist grabbing a copy of the flick on Blu-ray anyway. Maybe it makes me [click on the thumbnail to enlarge] a…

Recommended The Movie: Christine (Ann Michelle from Pete Walker’s House Of Whipcord ) and Betty (Vicki Michelle who played Yvette in the BBC’s Allo Allo ) are two sultry sisters who have just left home and made their way to the swinging London of the early 1970s.

Highly Recommended The Movie: Age of Heroes is the new WWII film starring Sean Bean and Danny Dyer as Ian Flemings agents of freedom and part of his “30 Commando Assault Unit.” Danny Dyer plays the role of Cpl.

To assist Brandt in his investigation, the director (Martin Sheen) calls in the man who tracked down the other six: Paul Shepherdson (Richard Gere)
Highly Recommended For this reviewer, watching Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1979) on Blu-ray was a curious viewing experience. I’d seen it when it was new, while I was in high school. And between 1979 and 1989 I must have watched it at least another 15 times, first in theaters and later in revival houses and on cable television beginning around 1984, where Manhattan may have been the first movie …
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.
