Keyword View: absurd DVD Review MANBORG  Half-man, half machine and all cheese. If you like your science fiction with a big slice of tongue-in-cheek on occasion, then fire up for Manborg. Go back to those days when you were young and would believe just about anything. Not a bad place to be. Read More... DVD Review SCHOOLGIRL HITCHHIKERS (BLU-RAY)  A film like Jean Rollin's bizarro Schoolgirl Hitchhikers is something of an acquired taste. If at all. But if you dig the sexy weirdness there's plenty to enjoy. Read More... DVD Review BAGDAD CAFE  The transfer ain't much but there's a likeable charm to this 1987 indie about a bunch of disparate souls learning how they all need one another.
Read More... DVD Review TROUBLED TEENS  There's generally a kitschy cool to educational shorts, but this batch of teen-themed material is often more of a downer than a laugh-fest. If you're a completist of the series you'll want to pick this up, otherwise I'd say not so much. Read More... DVD Review BRAZIL (BLU-RAY)  Without question this is one of my top five favorite films of all time from one of my favorite directors, and Criterion's treatment - now on Blu-Ray - is equally epic.
Read More... PR Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry on Blu-ray & DVD Dec 4  Journalist and filmmaker Alison Klayman was granted unprecedented access to Ai Weiwei to present this first feature-length portrait of the sculptor, photographer, filmmaker and installation artist. Presenting a rare look inside modern China while documenting Ai's courageous artistic process in preparation for major museum exhibitions, his intimate exchanges with family members, and his increasingly public clashes with the police and the government. Read More... DVD Review CHILDREN OF PARADISE (BLU-RAY)  Long considered one of the great films of all time, Marcel Carné's epic drama now gets its finest treatment, courtesy of Criterion. And it is wonderful.
Read More... DVD Review TITANIC (BLU-RAY)  We all know the story, and a whole heck of a lot of us saw the movie 15 years ago, but, unless you caught it earlier this year in theaters, you've never see a giant ship in 3D before. Well, folks, now's your chance! Read More... PR Klown on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Sep 25  Based on the wildly popular six-season Danish TV show of the same name. Follows two wildly inappropriate friends (played by celebrated comedians Frank Hvam and Caspar Christensen) as they run amok through the Danish countryside plowing through social taboos, unspeakable debaucheries and absurd encounters. Read More... DVD Review THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (BLU-RAY)  It doesn't matter to me one bit that this Criterion Blu-Ray of Wes Anderson's colorfully brilliant The Royal Tenenbaums has the same extras as their 2002 SD release because the new director-approved transfer is quite simply: stunning.
Read More... DVD Review SPACEBALLS (BLU-RAY)  As a sci-fi parody this uneven comedy isn't Mel Brooks' finest work, but that's not to say it is not without its pleasantly juvenile merits. Sadly, however, this anniversary packaging doesn't offer much not already presented in the 2009 BD release, making it seem somewhat pointless. Read More... PR Bored to Death: The Complete Third Season on Blu-ray, DVD, Download Sep 4  Jonathan Ames (Jason Schwartzman) continues to ply his trade as an unlicensed private detective, getting caught up in increasingly risky jobs and absurd adventures around New York City with George (Ted Danson) and Ray (Zach Galifianakis), his always supportive partners in solving crime. Read More... PR Get A Life: The Complete Series on DVD Sep 18  All 35 episodes of the show are included in the 5-Disc set along with an essay written by Tom Shales and bonus features with the cast and crew, including interviews, audio commentary, a Paley Center panel from 2000, deleted scenes and alternate versions of select episodes without the laugh track. Read More... PR Joe + Belle on DVD Jul 3 and Early on Digital Jun 5  Things get very complicated very quickly when Joe (Veronica Kedar), an angsty drug dealer, meets Belle (Sivan Levy), a buoyant suicidal psychopath, in this dark comedy. After an outlandish accident in Tel Aviv leaves the pair with a body to dispose of, they embark on a madcap journey to lose the cops - and end up finding love in Sderot (the target of ongoing rocket attacks). Read More... DVD Review DAVID LEAN DIRECTS NOEL COWARD (BLU-RAY)  Criterion's Blu-Ray boxset of four David Lean/Noel Coward films from the 1940s is a winner on all fronts. The films are a varied lot in terms of storylines - ranging from war's brutalities to family drama to playful ghosts to extramarital affairs, but each are awash in Coward's raw wordplay and Lean's visual talents.
Read More... PR Man or Muppet Up for Best Original Songs at Oscars on Sunday  This Sunday, February 26th, tune in to ABC for the 84th Academy Awards ceremony broadcasting live! Kermit, Piggy, Walter and all of the Muppets will be rooting for "Man or Muppet," music and lyrics by Bret McKenzie to take home the gold statue for Best Music (Original Song). Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Read More... PR Interviews for Hugo out on DVD & Blu-ray Feb 28  Interviews with Martin Scorsese, Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace Moretz and Ben Kingsley that were completed for the DVD/Blu-ray release of Hugo Read More... DVD Review GODZILLA (BLU-RAY)  Criterion pays long overdue scholarly homage to one of the classic monsters in all of cinema, and the inclusion of both the original 1954 Japanese film and the laughable 1956 American "reworking" only reinforces the fact that you have not seen Godzilla until you have seen Ishiro Honda's somber cautionary tale of H-bomb testing and the giant monster destruction it awakens.
