Sometimes I feel like a lone figure traversing the dusty plains, DVD news at the ready. Face caked with dirt, squinting in the harsh sun, wondering if I can steer around Bethlehem’s distrust. At least I get to meet Tom Petty. He was famous after all. Captain Fin’ Magic Robert Downey, Jr. pissing on a … Continue reading
With Revelation 13 fully upon us and the Beast emerging anew (unless you count my new short film ‘Dan Haggerty Rising’), the Studios have taken it upon themselves to cause all, small or great, rich or poor, free and bond, to shell out their cash for the encroaching digital doom about to spread across the … Continue reading
Remember a little over fourteen years ago? There were several things on television to impressionable young bastards, and Dinosaurs was one of them, Voltron reruns being another. Long since a TGIF staple (it’s only a matter of time before Hanging with Mr. Cooper arrives; hopefully), it had disappeared into time, a casualty of not a … Continue reading
Hello, I’m late. The end of May is upon is, and in terms of DVDs, this is such a non-week. If you’re duly prepared, take a look at June’s first batch of gooey offerings for your rumbling viewing pit (click here and scroll some) – and quickly realize, like a bad monetary relationship we’re all … Continue reading

We’re giving away a couple of copies of its DVD, courtesy of our friends at Universal.

Sitting in a darkened theatre discussing the path to truth with my co-pilot Jesus had lead me to believe that not everything was kosher. First, I was speaking with the lord and savior for some, and for others he was “just some dude.” Blasphemy! There are many (and I was not one of them) who … Continue reading
As my family and friends get flushed away from torrential downpours, I believe the show has to go on in other places. Hopefully our Northern New England contingent will be back up and being their typical Yankee selves soon, since life isn’t worth shouting about without DVDs. Elizabeth! Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane sing their … Continue reading
This is late. I know. I’m not going to apologize, but I’m also not going to get down on my knees and ask forgiveness either. We’re both hardworking adults who deserve respect. Otherwise we’d be blowing one another into the sky. Vagueness intentional. Take That, Peace Steven Spielberg’s Munich (read Devin’s review) is an assured … Continue reading
Being destitute has its drawbacks. First you have nothing to blow on the Donkey Show. Then you have no sustenance. Third, your belly throbs like the ground in Tremors without Ron Underwood backing you up. After a while, there’s only one thing left to do. Eat Me! Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro’s film Delicatessen gets … Continue reading
My roommate was watching Big Love last week and quickly called me down. Imagine my surprise when during a scene Chloë Sevigny asks Bill Paxton what he thinks of my first name (as a name for a child) and he quickly retorts – “I think it says kick me and take my lunch money.” Well, … Continue reading
