Saving Private Ryan (1998, Blu Ray)
Saving Private Ryan (1998, Blu Ray) Well, its finally happened!! Saving Private Ryan is available on Blu Ray! Awesome! I'm going to leave the gist of things to my other review of Saving Private Ryan, based on the DVD, and stick to the Blu here. In short. Wow. I can honestly say that this... »
Reader’s Digest WWII in the Pacific
Tomorrow brings the release of the Reader's Digest WWII in the Pacific 6-DVD box set from Questar. I was fortunate enough to have an early glimpse at this, and I'm glad I did... but.... The set comes in a fairly attractive package, the black/white with gold accents is a nice addition to the shelf. ... »
Saving Private Ryan Blu-Ray Available for Pre-Order!
Awesome news! Except that there are no concrete details as of yet, including extras or a firm release date... but its still totally excellent news!!! I'm hoping that Spielberg takes full advantage of the format. Lots of extras, maybe some new stuff. Dreaming of a 7.1 Master Audio soundtrack but its pretty unlikely. Link:... »
Men Who Stare At Goats
Yeah, I know, I know. I'm so far behind the curve I can't even see it anymore from here... Here's the trailer, anyway. Hopefully I'll get out to see it real soon now (tm). Somehow or another.... Looks damn hilarious, though. Here's the official movie site: http://www.themenwhostareatgoatsmovie.com/ »
Inglourious Basterds: A Riff Too Far?
I've not seen IB yet, but did come across this bit from Entertainment Weekly. Having not seen it, I really can't comment very much, except to say... Its Tarantino, what did you expect? See #1 Using the '78 IB as a guidepost, again, what did you expect? I just got through (unfortunately) watching Spielberg's... »
Inglourious Basterds Trailer
Yeah Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds launches next week, and besides the fact it has nothing at all to do with the 1978 Italian Inglorious Bastards (note the spelling difference) it looks to be at least entertaining. In that oh-so-special Tarantino sort of way. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I'll reserve final judgement... »
Defiance Trailer
I *think* this is the new Defiance trailer. Yow. Looks good in a lot of ways. Starring 007's Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell, and George McKay. IMDB lists the opening as December 12th. Synopsis (from IMDB): Three Jewish brothers (Craig, Schreiber and Bell) escape from Nazi-occupied Poland into the Belarussian forest, where they... »
Miracle at St. Anna Opens Today
Ehhhh, I dunno about this one. Judging from the reviews I've seen so far, I will have to reserve my final judgement until after I get a chance to see it (whenever that may be!) It sounds like Spike Lee's interjecting a wee bit too much of his politics into the thing, which is... »
Valkryie Blitzkrieg Begins
The media blitzkrieg for United Artists Valkyrie has begun! Here's the official synopsis of the film, along with some promo stills, the new trailer, and a featurette about the real Von Stauffenberg. Click on thru for the whole shebang. I think it looks like it will be good. Despite all the naysayers. »
Rain of Madness, Tropic Thunder
"Before the thunder... comes the MADNESS!!!" The Hype Machine(tm) for the upcoming Tropic Thunder is in full swing. Here's a "mockumentary" on the making of the film-within-the-film, called Rain of Madness... enjoy! (Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!) »
