A DVD review of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There WIll Be Blood.” [...] I don’t think there are enough superlatives in the English language to fully convey how mind-blowingly cool the BBC series Planet Earth is. [...] I wasn’t as prolific about this film upon release as I could have been, but Aronofsky’s film is a beautiful and elegiac mediation on loss, life, love and death and the struggles inherent therein. It’s too bad the DVD lacks the key extras that could make it a classic home video buy. That said, if enough people buy it, maybe the Criterion Collection will do it some justice! [...] One of the those “perfect little films” that you hear about, Roger Mitchell’s Venus will, hopefully, find a larger audience on DVD than it did in the theaters. Honestly, there is little, if anything, wrong with this little gem…Venus stars the never better Peter O’Toole… alongside the delightful newcomer Jodie Whittaker, a wonderfully cranky Leslie Phillips, Richard Griffiths, and the incomparable Vanessa Redgrave. [...] My apologies, but I’ve been laid up with some sort of nasty flu-like virus that has limited my actions pretty much to lying in bed and snacking on tylenol, electrolyte-laced drinks and the odd klonapin for sleeping. [...] Season 4 of the compelling and often heart-stopping series 24 was a return to form over the annoying and often silly season 3….and as an added bonus, no Kim Bauer….her character was underwritten, whiny and dumber than a box of hammers. [...] By now any self-respecting action film fan or comic book geek knows that Fantastic Four (or The Fantastic Four, if you like your grammar correct), it’s also not a very good film. But you know what? I didn’t hate it and actually found something redeemable here. How so? Please continue, faithful readers! [...] Recently, 20th Century Fox released Buffy the Vampire Slayer – The Chosen Collection. This is what I want. Ok, it’s true, I already have all 7 seasons on DVD and this set doesn’t have but a few things extra (and I got them from the publicist already). [...] I love Tim Burton. While yes, it is true that I haven’t seen Big Fish, Planet of the Apes, Corpse Bride or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory …or, um…. Sleepy Hollow, I have seen and very much enjoyed Beetle Juice, Batman, Batman Returns (although not as much as Batman)….That’s all fine and good, but one of the films I hadn’t seen until a few nights ago, was Burton’s fourth feature, Edward Scissorhands. [...] Over the next 3 1/2 weeks I will be reviewing, previewing and spotlighting items that you might buy for friends and loved ones this holiday season. Here are a couple to get you started. [...] |
