    This is my review, which I published on my blog after seeing the movie on HBO this past Sunday night: In a time when summer movies are coming out in theatres left and right, this HBO original movie, which just premiered this evening was the one I was most looking forward to outside of Indiana...

    Will Universal ever release their own version of "Matinee"?

    I just saw this film for the first time in its entirety today on Universal HD and I think it is Joe Dante's most underrated film. Why is it still unavailable? The Image version is long OOP, and it's just sitting there in Universal's vaults. Not to mention that the film looked quite good in...

    Brian DePalma's The Bonfire of the Vanities

    I know, I know, not a lot of people hold this movie in high regard, but I'm a huge movie buff and I absolutely love it. I've never read the book (and I still plan to eventually), but I think the movie is a funny, insightful look about how the World once was. What carries it for me are its...

    The Science of Sleep

    I saw The Science of Sleep the other day and I thought it was wonderful. I think it will need one more viewing to solidify that reaction, but so far, the movie is not leaving my mind. Little Miss Sunshine did that to me earlier this summer, but it did it to me on another level almost entirely...

    Why are there some DVDs released without a scene selection menu?

    I recently bought the new edition of Radioland Murders from Universal a couple of days ago (a true guilty pleasure of mine) and I was shocked to discover that there was no scene selection menu on the disc. This begs me to ask a question. Is this going to be a new trend in how DVDs are...

    Little Miss Sunshine

    I know that it is playing in select theatres, but I'm going to a free screening on Wednesday while I'm on vacation in Arizona, so I thought that I would start a thread about the movie. Has anyone seen it yet, and if so, how is it? If you have not seen it, are you at least interested in...

    I didn't see a thread about this great, wonderful movie, so I thought that I would start one... "The Stunt Man" is a great movie, has become one of my all-time favorites. It is such a different movie. Everything about it is great. The performances are astounding, especially from the leads...

    It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia: Season 2

    Did anyone watch the two season premiere episodes of "It's Always Sunny..." tonight on FX. I'll admit that this show has grown on me and with "Arrested Development" no longer on the air, this might be the closest thing we ever get to that kind of show (Nothing can replace "Arrested Development"...

    When oh when will American Dreamz be announced for DVD release?

    Call me insane. Call me politically incorrect. Call me what you want. I was one of those who enjoyed Paul Weitz's comedy "American Dreamz" when it opened and closed back in April. I just got the humor, and I thought it was a good satire of what is wrong with this country. We're deep into the...

    Malcolm in the Middle - Series Finale

    Did anyone watch the final episode of "Malcolm in the Middle" tonight? With all of the talk about "That 70s Show" going away, it seems like everyone forgot that Malcolm was leaving as well.

    Arrested Development season 3 thread

    I wanted to ask if "Arrested Development" is moving to a new night this season. I ask because while watching the rerun marathons, I'm seeing that a new show is playing after "The Simpsons" this season. I was wondering if anyone could give me an answer, and if so, is Fox losing a show from their...

    Me and You and Everyone We Know

    There Goes The Neighborhood

    When will this great movie with Jeff Daniels and Catherine O'Hara be coming out on DVD. I've always been a fan of it, and I know that Paramount has the rights to it. In fact, even though it was a Paramount film, I don't think it was ever released in theatres, although I could be wrong. If it...

    I've been eagerly awaiting the premeire of FX's new show "30 Days" and I have to say that after seeing it tonight, I enjoyed it a lot. Now, understand that I've not seen "Super Size Me" yet, that may be why I liked it, but the two main reasons I'm posting this thread are for the fact that I...

    I just saw The Fisher King for the first time a few weeks ago

    I loved it and I thought it was one very sad movie, but also a very funny movie as well. It is filled with some of the most beautiful images I've ever seen (like the dance at Grand Central Station), and some very powerful scenes as well (the scene where Robin Williams confesses to Amanda Plummer...
