The motion picture studios send us vermillions of DVD releases for the purpose of review. More titles than you can shake a stick at, unless you have a lot of time and a particularly sturdy stick. Unlike most sites [and weirdly a source of nitpicking from some detractors who we’ve discovered are dumb and lonely asexual prick assholes], we review everything we’re sent. Even the gay vampire program Lair (from the makers of Dante’s Cove). We have a wide array of reviewers, all with functioning nervous systems and all ready to entertain YOU with their puns and prose. You. Are. Welcome.

Nothing is better than plunking yourself down and watching a film, even if you end up even more infuriated with yourself if it’s horrible. Bombs … Continue reading

DVD REVIEW: MUPPET MOVIE ASSAULT!

It’s no news to the casual Muppet fan that the franchise has been in decline these past few years. Byzantine deals with House of Mouse and some Germans of shadowed motivation interfered with the magical formula of Kermit and friends. Jim Henson’s death, in 1990, didn’t do much to help the troupe along, but under … Continue reading
