    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) - quick review

    ^ Agreed. They can't take Neidermann out of the story. The second book will make an awesome movie, and I REALLY want Fincher to do it. Without spoiling anything, I would just love to see his take on the whole climax of that book. It's completely in his wheelhouse, with the potential for some...

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) - quick review

    ^ If you're referring to the final scene of the Fincher movie, that is how the book ends.

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) - quick review

    Saw this again last night and loved it even more the second time around. One thing that was a fun catch: Actually think I'd like to catch it once more in theaters as well. I haven't been this engrossed in a film in a while.

    Plinkett's Review of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is Up

    I agree with Travis. I thought the review was funny. Nothing that hasn't been discussed between my friends and I a dozen times, but a good laugh nontheless. But I'd like to see 'Plinkett' review something other than widely ridiculed films too. AVATAR was the closest, I guess, and I loved that...

    The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) - quick review

    Absolutely LOVED this adaptation. Being a big fan of the Swedish trilogy, and also of the mind that nobody could do Lisbeth better than Noomi Rapace, I was completely stunned to discover that this US version was an improvement in just about every possible way. Couldn't believe how much closer...

    What are the chances of MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME coming to Blu-ray?

    I watched the first two installments of the trilogy on Blu-ray this weekend and was crushed to have to revert back to the DVD to cap off the series. Warner has been pretty good about getting catalog titles out on Blu-ray. What do you suppose the chances are they'll release Beyond Thunderdome?

    What movie do you most detest?

    I haven't despised anything as much as Avatar, except maybe Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. I consider them both to be among the most terrible films ever made.

    TRON: Legacy (2010)

    I'm also glad to see some positive responses here. I'll definitely be going back for a repeat viewing this week ... I haven't had that much fun at the movies in a long time.

    TRON: Legacy (2010)

    I loved every second of TRON Legacy. Thought the script was more than serviceable and the characters were strong enough to keep me vested. The visuals and the action, of course, were perhaps some of the most amazing ever put on screen. The funny thing is that I'm not a huge fan of the...

    2010 at the Box Office

    What's TRON Legacy looking like at this point? I've heard it's tracking low?

    (NEW) Synapse Titles: Embodiment Of Evil, Dorm That Dripped Blood, Frat House Massacre

    The Dorm that Dripped Blood isn't a great slasher flick by any means, but I'm anxiously waiting for this one too.

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Knight and Day (Combo Pack)

    I had a good time with this one although I felt like it ran out of steam in the final act - as soon as it stopped being gleefully ridiculous. Although the final chase scene was very exciting. I'll grab this one once I can snag it for a sale price. I feel it got a real bad rap while in...

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    Had a chance to view this disc last night ... holy cow is this an absolutely FANTASTIC debut from Midnight Legacy. Strong colors and rich textures abound ... for a film that was shot looking typically soft, it looks awesome. The movie was a lot of fun too ... providing you know what you're...

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    I have bought from Diabolik many times without incident. In fact, for 'normal' preorders, I typically get my discs the day before street. I ordered my copy from Xploited Cinema via eBay ... there's a few more copies on there now.

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    No apology necessary, Dolph! As far as I'm concerned you've been keeping us in the loop every step of the way so no worries. One question for you though: I know Midnight Legacy's intentions are to focus on rare and forgotten Euro Horror - which is awesome. But I was wondering if there was...

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: HIGHLANDER

    This was a great review and I agree ... Highlander looks really nice on BD! One question that Michael touched upon in his review: during that bridge scene in which Connor meets up with Kastagir, the image is constantly flickering. Can someone explain what causes that?

    Keeping fingers crossed about Breakdown

    I love Breakdown, too. Paramount has been nothing but disappointing in terms of their minimal catalogue releases. I know they've released a few gems (and I'm really stoked for True Grit) but I want more than a tiny handful.

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    I still holding out hope that it'll be available for order by the end of this week. Dolph has been saying that this release will likely run a few days behind schedule and, so far, he's been pretty forthcoming with info.

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    Hoping to be able to throw an order in for this at some point tomorrow or Thursday. Getting this for the weekend may be out of the question, but I'm hoping to have this for the holiday next week.

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    Yeah, a few days isn't a big deal to me either.

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Dolph. I am going to be ordering this on 11/16 and I'm quite excited about doing so.

    ALIEN 2: ON EARTH Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD

    I will order this from Amazon as soon as I'm able to. I never thought I'd see this day this was released to Blu-ray.

    Kate returns as Selene for Underworld: 4

    I personally think the first film is the weakest in the series. Evolution is my favorite with Rise of the Lycans being a close second. Glad to hear this fourth one is picking up where 2 left off, though. That was always the story I wanted to see continued.

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Iron Man 2

    ^ Really? I didn't think there was much in the way of tension in IM2. Take Rourke's big race track reveal ... it's the first action sequence in the movie (finally) and Favreau chooses to unwisely undercut the whole scene with dollops of groan-inducing comedy. That's where the film lost...

    Salt (2010) Blu-ray on December 7th

    DVDactive, digitalbits and HighDefDigest are saying Sony will be releasing Angelina Jolie's action flick on December 7th in an unrated, extended version. Personally, this is my most anticipated release of the year behind Inception. Wasn't expecting much from it, but found it to be a...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Return of the Living Dead: Collector's Edition (Combo Pack)

    Yeah, the DVD is the same one that was released a few years ago. The "collector's edition". It actually had both commentaries on it.

    Sounds like the supplements are an accurate reflection of the film itself, then.

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Return of the Living Dead: Collector's Edition (Combo Pack)

    If this presents an improvement on the audio front I'm going to be very, very happy with this release.   It (along with Invasion of the Body Snatchers) is en route from Amazon.
