Re: rate the last movie you saw
Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) 8.5 of 10 =In honor of those who lost their lives on a day of infamy that is sadly being remembered less and less with each passing year, I gave this film a look for the first time in a decade. I had forgotten the Blu-Ray has an "extended" Japanese version with sl...

Re: GODZILLA MINUS ONE - Andy's Review
I saw it today but my viewing experience was a bit disrupted by a circumstance unrelated to any rude audience members. I had gotten a message from my boss about a new project at 11 AM. I worked on it for two hours then went to the cinema for a 2 PM showing and planned to return to it when I got back...

Re: Elizabeth McGovern & Actresses Whose Careers Died
I couldn't stand her character in "The Abyss" or Harris for that matter. In fact, the reason why I ended up disliking the film so intensely is because their characters make a totally bad first impression (They don't give a damn about wanting to help the Navy try to find the missing sub and...

Re: GODZILLA MINUS ONE - Andy's Review
My worst experience with an annoying audience member was at a Broadway musical. I was seeing a preview of the Titanic musical and the guy sitting next to me was constantly mumbling under his breath disdainfully, "hit the damned berg and get it over with" or making some other disparaging co...

Re: Ridley Scott's Napoleon - "Clumsy, Funny" Critics Torch Scott's Latest
I saw it Thanksgiving night. The problem is it wastes so much time on the relationship with Josephine (and her failure to give him an heir) that when the battles come up there is ZERO context for why Napoleon is invading Europe in the first place. Not a peep about Napoleon's ambitions of conquest (o...

I admit, I'm still upset about the commentaries. But I asked my sister to get it for me Christmas anyway. (at least this way it's for free!)

Re: The Avengers: The Tara King Collection – Imprint
Got my copy the other day too. The partial first episode "Hot Snow" is presented a little differently this time in that I noticed the title credits were windowboxed for some reason which I don't recall in previous releases on DVD. After the extant portion there's another five minutes of te...

Napoleon 6 of10 -My first trip to a cinema post-COVID. My cousin in Nashville who invited me down for Thanksgiving asked me to go out after dinner and you don't say no to that. The R-rated violence scenes (a cannon striking a horse in the entrails, the rather pointless scene of Marie Antoinette's b...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
When you get down to it, Lucas has done nothing but give us idiotic fan-edits of the SW trilogy and totally shirked his responsibility to rational archival preservation. New cuts should exist *alongside* the originals, not at their expense. And the irony is that I think it all stems from a petty des...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
My other issue with this movie is the useless tangent of introducing Boba Fett, as if he is some important figure in the Star Wars universe. In fact Boba Fett is actually a less-significant character than Admiral Piett or Admiral Akbar. He is potentially badass, but other than making-off with Han S...

Re: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - 78 Movie - Coming to 4K UHD
I had enough Amex points to get it for nothing. Since I'm now on a kick of having all variants of Galactica in terms of official releases (paperbacks, comic books etc.) accounted for, I figured I'd be a fool to say no to a freebie even though I'll only look at a few minutes to see the overall qualit...

Re: Andy's Youtube Uploads - Post-Siskel & Ebert SNEAK PREVIEWS Archive Unearthed
I think the first thing that sent Medved from Left to Right politically was when he detected the clear anti-Semitism that exists in so much of the American Left that we've seen explode more recently.

Re: EXORCIST: BELIEVER - October - Trailer
Just so obvious from watching the trailers this movie has to clue about Blatty's world view, Catholicism, or the entire point of THE EXORCIST itself. Mark Kermode obliterates the movie for that very reason below -- an "in name only" EXORCIST movie for people who don't understand it, and t...

Re: IRWIN ALLEN MASTER OF DISASTER Blu-Ray Box Set from Shout Factory
"Hanging By A Thread" aired in May 1979 in two parts and got scathing reviews for terminal boredom and lame F/X. Then "Bridge" would have come next since James MacArthur was the lead and this would have been just after he quit "Hawaii Five-O" and didn't take part in its...

Re: IRWIN ALLEN MASTER OF DISASTER Blu-Ray Box Set from Shout Factory
Yeah, his post-Warner non-disaster TV movies are much better. "Memory of Eva Ryker" was a decent adaptation of an interesting novel (though it has the disconcerting element of seeing Natalie Wood, in a dual role where she plays her own character's mother in a flashback sequence, face-down ...
