Rent It Note: images are publicity stills and do not reflect the picture quality of the Blu-ray under review. The Movie: If you’ve ever asked yourself questions like “How did toothbrushes ever go from straight to angled?” or “Why does my potato peeler have a chunky handle?” or “Why did they make the iPhone look more like an Apple product than an old-style telephone?”, the probing documentary …
Highly Recommended THE FILM: Please Note: The images used here are stills provided by Vitagraph Films, and not taken from the Blu-ray edition under review. “People say, ‘Oh, you’re mean-spirited, you’re cruel.’ I don’t see it that way. I think there’s a distinction between exposing cruelty and being cruel.” – Todd Solondz With Dark Horse , the oft-dismissed American auteur Todd Solondz adds …
Highly Recommended It seems fitting that Somerville House would be releasing Zorro on Blu-Ray shortly before Django Unchained revives that character for a new generation; the character of Zorro is sort of like the yin to Django’s yang. Where Django acts only selfishly, manipulating people for his own ends, Zorro acts selflessly, fighting for justice and the little guy. This 1975 film appears to …
DVD Talk Collector Series THE MOVIES: Please Note: The stills used here are taken from the DVD editions included in the Ultimate Edition , not the main Blu-ray discs under review. Had I known that the Harry Potter series was going to end up here, in a dark and challenging world where life is not all magic spells and problems dispensed with a wave of a wand, I’d have probably gotten on board and …
Recommended The Movies: Stoners and junk food go together like mom and apple pie so it sort of makes sense that you’d make a stoner comedy about two potheads and their quest for burgers. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle struck box office gold in 2004, it made further sense that we’d be treated to more of their adventures – and we were. Warner Brothers have treated this New Line property …

Rent It In general, there’s a sense that the modern cartoon makes a distinct effort to be for both kids and parents alike. Aside from shows with an educational mandate (like “Dora the Explorer,”), the tendency to slip in a little subversive humor for the grown-ups watching these shows seems to be on the rise. I guess that’s what I was expecting of “The Adventures of Gumball,” which shares …
DVD Talk Collector Series THE FILM: Please Note: The images used here are taken from a prior standard-definition DVD release, not the Blu-ray edition under review. By 1950, the tirelessly skeptical and sardonic Billy Wilder was already much more than qualified to make a picture about Hollywood; over the preceding decade, the Austrian-born director (who had fled Europe for Hollywood in the wake …
Highly Recommended In your faaaace ! Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. piss off more goofs who can’t just enjoy a simple DVD full of toons with the release of Regular Show: The Best DVD in the World* (*at this moment in time) , a single-disc, 16-episode collection of Cartoon Network ‘s hit Monday night show (and my current favorite toon on television).
