I thought it had a couple fun gore moments but was generally awful, and I'm a huge sucker for this type of movie. Peter Jackson's early stuff was way better. I mean, even Bad Taste had a better plot than this. Rent before you buy.
I'm personally not concerned about 1.85:1 movies being cropped, but this all but declares that they're going to crop everything else as well. God bless Universal and Buena Vista. I never thought I would type that sentence.
Ugh, it's MAR. If they stopped chopping these movies up, I'd start buying them. I don't care how good it looks. It's the principle. Especially with Ridley Scott movies.
It's good to see Universal is sticking with OAR. Too bad I hate this piece of garbage movie with a burning passion. Thanks for the review, though. I wish Sony and Fox would take a cue from Universal and Buena Vista. Kinda funny how the quality studios are reversed when it comes to UMD as...
Very nice review. I appreciate what you're doing here, and I agree on all counts. I just got some Headbanger Earsubs and the movie sounded awesome on them. In fact, I had to turn it way down. So you were 12 when this came out? I was too. One of my first hard R's as well. This and Pulp...
I've got a Chinese DVD of this (I think it's either Edko or a bootleg of the Edko release) that has one of the best DTS tracks I've ever heard. It's full-bitrate and jaw-dropping. I really hope a Superbit comes out soon, though, because the video quality sucks. It seems to be converted from a...
Wow. I just... I'm dumbfounded. This is probably my favorite game of all time. I found it completely enthralling from the moment I started playing. Everything was perfect. The controls, the pacing, the graphics, the intensity level, the difficulty level (I actually thought it was pretty...
So I guess the jig is up! I was kinda wondering how long it would take someone to click on the link to my blog. I'm sorry guys, I just couldn't help it. But it's not like I didn't leave any clues. I asked for a Lowry restoration and Mark Pillow commentary for cryin' out loud! Just imagine how...
Facetious? Sir, that's insulting. While you guys sit around pontificating about something that will never happen, potential cinematic gold awaits in the vaults of Warners. I'm tired of cutrate releases of Superman IV. I get so tired of defending the movie. I see potential greatness in it. Is...
Why are you people all whining about Superman II? Good grief, it's a lost cause. The movie is unsalvageable. Seriously, there are better things to worry about, such as the 45 MINUTES OF UNSEEN FOOTAGE FROM SUPERMAN IV. I've been waiting to see Furie's original cut for YEARS now, and frankly I'm...
I like the album quite a bit, but there are several skippers. However, I Never Came isn't one of them for me. It's my favorite track. The CD could use more hard songs though, and I'll agree on tracks 10-14. They just don't quite come together.
I'm waiting for the Superbit, myself. Those features look pretty weak aside from the commentary. I wonder if that will be in Chinese with subs or what? Those accents together would probably be unintelligible. I have a Chinese DVD that has the most incredible full-bitrate dts I think I've ever...
Thanks Vince. Apparently Nick and I's memories were clouded on the subject. Now I guess about the only holy grails of this type are some OOP Criterions and the original Little Shop of Horrors DVD.
