One of my big delightful surprise films of last year was a small indie film by the name of “Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon“. As a matter of fact, I liked it so much, I put it at #100 on my top 100 all time favorite/best movies … [Read More]
This evening we were invited out to the Los Angeles premiere of the new documentary “The Prisoner or: How I Planned To Kill Tony Blair“. The story behind the movie is a very simple one… an Iraqi journalist and his brothers are falsely accused of planning to assassinate British Prime … [Read More]

I’ve been talking about how great the new advances in movie download services are, but at the same time I’ve been curbing the enthusiasm with the fact that even though things are headed in the right direction, there are still problems with the system. Well, Gizmodo put up a post … [Read More]
Online video distribution is doing more than just make it more convenient to watch our favorite films… it’s also giving us access to a whole world of film that most of us in North America or never really get exposed to. For example, take a look at this new terrific … [Read More]

The long and the short of it is this: From now on, films that are made by the Weinsteins are going … [Read More]
I’m not the most positive cat around, and quite often I’ll blast companies on this site for doing stupid things (which they often do). But give credit where credit is due. Blockbuster has just announced a BRILLIANT move for their online order mail delivery service that competes with Netflix. Starting … [Read More]
