Thanks for the informative thread. I am just wondering where you guys have been getting your information regarding how well Dawson's Creek has sold and how much Paula Cole was asking for music rights? I am a huge fan of D-Diddy's Creek, and it is nice to know the sets have been selling well...
Student Bodies was well before its time too, except that movie sucks. I guess in that respect it was predicting the insulting toilet humor of the Scary Movie films.
I refuse to buy bilingual covers. I don't care if we are a bilingual country, they are still butt ugly. And what I don't understand is why companies do it on DVD but do not do in on VHS, what is the deal? DVD is a collector's format, where people are way more anal about things like botched...
Firstly, what does my taste ("liking") of films have to do with your described void of originality in modern film? It is naive to assume that because I find one film lacking in originality that I would not like any of the hundred thousand movies already out there. Your comment about "it has...
For me this film was a serious disappointment. It does manage to shock at times, but the film missteps right at the start when it fails to give any sort of initial development of the main characters. The film jumps much too quickly into the transformation of Wood's character, never letting us...

I think it is rather cheap of Columbia to change the music on us. While above all I am just happy that the series is being released on DVD, I can't help but feel a large part of it has been changed. For me, these teenage films are all rooted in nostalgia. You watch to be taken back to a time of...
As a huge John Carpenter fan, I personally think the movie could have been a whole lot better. Save for dreadful CGI, I think a much more pollished Carpenter handled L.A. with greater skill. Don't get me wrong, NEW YORK is still a solid film, and I can't wait to pick up this disc, but Carpenter...
I got to see TCM at an early screening last week. Here is my copied review: Well guys…I saw it. Thanks to working for the university paper, I was able to score two tickets to an advance screening. I’ll save the suspense, and say right off the bat that this is a very good film. The audience...
I am going to be seeing a couple movies at this fest over the weekend. I am ashamed to admit I haven't seen Leone's THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, so I will definitely be seeing it in the restored print on Sunday. I am also going to see a documentary on Saturday called MY LIFE WITH COUNT...
Although it brings nothing new to the genre, I enjoyed WRONG TURN for all its backwoods fun. Definitely a huge throwback to the seminal 70's horror classics like Texas Chainsaw and The Hills Have Eyes, this is one of better horror films of the last couple years. Great review by the way, Adam...
I woke up this morning hoping to read a thread proclaiming nothing but uncut reissues of all the films, but alas nothing yet. I've still got my fingers crossed!
Just a thought, but maybe Paramount will go the STAR TREK route and start releasing Director's Cuts of all the previous films. The thing is though, the DC's have been rated by the MPAA, keeping in spirit with Paramount's rated only policy. But given that the FRIDAY films were unfairly butchered...
I cannot even recall a death in PROM NIGHT 4 that wasn't sex related. It sets it up explictly at the start too, when the priest kills the couple getting it on in the car.
All those teens who go to the cabin are in for the loving as well. I've got to agree with you on SILENT NIGHT DEADLY...
I quite like the PROM NIGHT series, and I think PROM NIGHT 4 is more than just a "so bad its entertaining" horror excursion. Few of the slasher films ever explore the relationship between the slasher's murders and morality. The priest acts as a redeemer, killing those having immoral sexual...
Nice review Jason, although I really liked DARK BLUE, and I found it to be much better than TRAINING DAY. Washington's performance was great, but no better than Kurt Russell's in my opinion. Russell is an actor that is consistently underrated and overlooked, and he throws everything onto the...
I've been waiting for this disc for so long now, it has been a favorite of mine for years. The chemistry between the O'Neal's is amazing, and little Tatum gives what is sure to be the best performance ever for a child actor. If you haven't seen this film yet, then make no mistake, it is a lost gem.
Well, it is the "it" thing to do right now to bash De Niro, but I am certainly not going to jump on that bandwagon. His performance in CITY BY THE SEA was great (even though the film was not), and THE SCORE, 15 MINUTES and MEET THE PARENTS were very good films. I liked ANALYZE THIS when I saw it...
This is a fantastic film, and I don't care what anyone says...it deserved BP over GoodFellas. I will definitely be snatching this film up. Fantastic review Ron. :emoji_thumbsup:
