    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Final Destination 3 - Thrill Ride Edition (Recommended)

    I thought Final Destination loses all it's steam after the first fifteen minutes. After that, it didn't know if it wanted to be a teen slasher or a z-grade episode of The X-Files. I thought Final Destination 2 was at the top of it's game. While still maintaining it's roots to the original by...

    "Shock Treatment" (1981) coming to R1 DVD

    If Fox treats this how they are in R2 where you can only buy it packaged with Rocky Horror, count me out. I bought the two-disc Rocky Horror for $30 weeks before it came out (that's how eager I was), but I'm not throwing down another $30 for it just so I can get Shock Treatment. If Fox makes...

    Prince & Me 2: The Royal Wedding..Foolscreen only???

    I think it may have been shot with the 1.33:1 aspect ratio in mind, but I am not completely sure. For all we know, this might've been made with the desingation of going direct-to-television. None of the production companies involved with the first film (Lionsgate, Paramount, etc.) have...

    Will Devil's Rejects Help or Hurt Modern horror movies?

    The Devil's Rejects is a much better film than Zombie's last effort (House of 100 Corpses, which I thought was shit). Trust me. The crowd at CineVegas loved the film. While I didn't love it, I thought it was a damn solid horror film and a fine throwback to the exploitation flicks of the '70s.

    Brian DePalma On Board For 'Untouchables' Prequel

    Actually DePalma has made very few good films. ;) When you remove a good majority of the films he made pre-1974, Carrie, Blow Out, The Untouchables, Dressed to Kill, and Scarface out of his filmography... simply put, you're left with a lot of crap. The man lost any source of street cred decades...

    Where's Shock Treatment? :frowning: However, I will be picking up the two direct-to-video Killer Tomatoes flicks from the early '90s! ;)

    Adventures in Babysitting Remake?

    And in today's PC-society, of course we're not going to get fantastic dialog like... "Don't fuck with the Lords of Hell!" "DON'T FUCK WITH THE BABYSITTER!" :frowning:

    Results from EW's Poll "What Makes a Good DVD?"

    In addition to the packed Slacker special edition AND the School of Rock DVD, his DVD for Waking Life contains more bonus material on one disc than a lot of two-disc special editions.

    Rodriguez working on "Faculty", "Roadracers" and "Spy Kids" SE's

    There have been rumors of a Faculty: SE for years; especially when there were additional rumors when Dimension was considering releasing a direct-to-video sequel to it (thank God that never happened). I personally love The Faculty (a b-movie at it's finest) and I hope the DVD includes all the...

    NEWMARKET FILMS to be acquired by HBO and New Line

    Newmarket couldn't release a film if their life depended on it. Other than The Passion of the Christ (which was never their film, per say) and Memento, they've pretty much dropped the ball on every film they've put out (Stark Raving Mad, Stander, and both cuts of Donnie Darko easily come to...

    Directors Favorite Air Supply song

    I saw them live in concert. And they rocked. And of course, All Out Of Love, is their best song.

    Mystery Science Theater 3000: Season 1 box set... maybe

    I don't care how much they charge. I'll kidnap a small child and ask for ransom if it comes down to it. The more MST3K episodes on DVD, the better.

    South Park Season 9

    You're going to stop recording a show due to two episodes out of over 120+? And I'm one who loved the Christmas episode, but hated last Wednesday's episode. I love South Park, but the show is well known for having episodes that completely hit and completely miss.

    CURSED -- rating, reviews, comments

    In response to Shawn... Werewolves and vampires aren't real, therefore rules to the creatures do need not apply. A writer can create any backstory or mythology involving a creature. Just look at the television show Buffy for an example of this.

    Cube Zero (prequel)

    Cube Zero is one of the worst films I have ever seen. To say that it is worse than Hypercube is a complete and total understatement. At least that sequel was original and innovative. Lions Gate and Canada need to cut it out with the terrible Cube sequels. The first one was great, the...

    'AMERICAN PSYCHO' Rated or unrated?

    The only addition to the Unrated cut were thirty seconds or so to the sex scene. Ironically, the line... "I want you to eat her asshole." (or something like that) is still edited out of the Unrated cut, despite that specific line being the BIGGEST reason the flick got an NC-17 to begin with...

    CURSED -- rating, reviews, comments

    The PG-13 Cursed (which I saw this morning) has very little on-screen violence and bad language to speak of. However, it's still a pretty hard PG-13 rated film for the fact that the MPAA let Dimension show the bloody aftermath of a few characters instead of their actual death scenes. I guess...

    I Heart Huckabees 2 disc version $39.99 srp

    I picked up the SE today and let me raise a few concerns. 1. FOX is currently one of the worst studios releasing DVDs currently. 2. I Heart Huckabees should've just been a two-disc SE with an SRP of $29.99 and that's it. The film is not mainstream/popular enough to have two seperate versions...

    The "whatever happened to this actor/actress" thread.

    Wasn't Deedee Phieffer in a Playboy pictorial a few years ago (around the same time she was in a television show on The WB)?

    Degrassi Junior High: Season One

    Degrassi Junior High: Season One

    Nobody had the set on release date (Borders, Best Buy, or Tower), so I just ended up buying the set from DDD for $20. Oh well, cheaper than buying the set in store. So now that I'm done watching the first season, when are we getting Season Two? Also, will Season Two have the last three...

    Should commentaries be rated independant of the film itself?

    Top three uses of the word "fuck" in a non sexual manner, you're getting the R. Top one use of the word "fuck" in a sexual manner, you're getting the R. However to the latter, there are exceptions to the rule (Julia Roberts' line in My Best Friend's Wedding which got a PG-13 due to appeal)...

    Should commentaries be rated independant of the film itself?

    The Burbs? The Abyss? America's Sweethearts? Evolution? And the list goes on and on... those were just four random PG-13 titles I took from IMDB's quote search by using the word "pussy." In addition to FX's television shows using the word on a frequent basis (e.g. Nip/Tuck and The Shield)...

    Should commentaries be rated independant of the film itself?

    The word "pussy" can be said in PG-13 films and on television, so I would have no problems with one using that word on the commentary track for a PG-13 flick. And I agree with Eric. AVP is a hard PG-13 film. Should young kids be actually watching the film in the first place, let alone the...

    Argento and Fulci movies being re-released on DVD?

    I remember Blue Underground is getting the rights to Phenomena, Tenebre, Deep Red, Inferno, Demons, and Demons 2; but I don't know if they're getting the rights to Opera, The Church, and/or Suspiria (three titles they acquired after the initial six). I haven't heard anything about any Fulci...

    The Sandlot 2?

    If they make a Camp Nowhere 2, I'd be the first schmuck in line. That was my favorite film when I was ten years old in 1995.

    2005 at the Box Office

    Think Universal (or any other studio) would give Ang Lee $130 million to create his own superhero/creature to base a movie off of? Especially with an unknown in the lead? NEVER WOULD HAPPEN.
