If you want to watch something a little different from your average Hollywood Blockbuster, or want a night off from playing online games at http://www.poker.dk, then you might want to take a look at some of these lesser known titles. Beginning this week, I’ll be looking at B-movies, unheralded re-releases and direct-to-video releases on a […]
Robyn Hitchcock: Sex, Food, Death and… Insects – My Stuff Doesn’t Appeal to Meatheads!
Robyn Hitchcock has been releasing his ever-so-slightly skewed music for well over twenty years – spread across three decades. Robyn Hitchcock: Sex, Food, Death and… Insects is a documentary, from The Sundance Channel, that will be released on DVD on March 25. It features interviews with a number of Hitchcock’s co-conspirators and the first real look at his songwriting […]

Never Back Down – Michelle’s Review!
Man it has been quite a minute since I’ve written a movie review, so forgive me if I’m a little rusty. I generally hibernate during the dark, dreary, winter months. Like a beautiful rose, or Cherry Blossom – if you are in DC. I start to bloom in the Spring. Last week was o.ur first […]
Doomsday: Being Derivative Doesn’t Make It Bad!
The trailer for Doomsday ripped off… I mean, paid homage to several movies: Escape From New York, all of the Mad Max films and 28 Days Later [and its sequel] among them. The actual movie adds more than a few more such referential scenes – but not out of lack of imagination. Instead, we […]
American Idol Top 12 Butcher Beatles Night
Ah, it’s another week of the train wreck that is American Idol. Tonight’s two hour installment features the top 12 doing Karaoke to the Beatles. The night begins with S’yesha Mercado – hey a black woman is in this contest, who knew? In the past several weeks I turned it off 3 or 4 blonds […]
Holy Jumpin’ Weasel Fritters on a Hot Cross Bun! It’s Sam & Max: Freelance Police – The Complete Series!
Twenty years ago, or so, a gentleman with a decidedly warped sense of humor, named Steve Purcell, produced the first issue of a comic that was soon to become a minor classic: Sam & Max: Freelance Police. A decade later, the title had become a franchise of sorts, with video games and a truly unique […]
Blu-ray Tuesday Continues
Other notable Blu-ray releases this week. Include Fox’s amazing new Hit Man DVD. The DVD includes Fox’s way cool new Digital Copy technology. So not only do you get the Blu-ray disk, but you can also rip a copy of it for your portable digital media player. I honestly haven’t tried this yet, I’ve […]

Independence Day on Blu-ray!
The fine folks at Fox Home Video (can you tell they sent me a nice little package this weekend) have a block buster Blu-ray Tuesday this week releasing several of their big Sci-fi titles. Including one of my favorite – cheesy films of all time Independence Day. When I first bought my 60 inch HDTV […]
Gattica is on Blu-ray today!
The Sci-Fi Classic Gattaca: Special Edition is coming to DVD and Blu-ray this week. Watch some clippage and go out and pick this up. Confidently conceived and brilliantly executed, Gattaca had a somewhat low profile release in 1997, but audiences and critics hailed the film’s originality. It’s since been recognized as one of the most […]
