Yo, Rocky, where's Adrian? It's been 16 years since the last Rocky movie and a lot has changed since then, then again maybe not. George Bush was in office, and still is. James Bond was hot at the box office and still is (kind of), Madonna was topping the charts at least once or twice […]

Last Minute Shopping: James Ultimate Edition, Volumes 3 & 4
The folks at Fox Home Video are sneaky: you can't get a complete set of any one Bond without buying all four volumes of James Bond Ultimate Edition. Fortunately, these four box sets are well worth buying, just for the wealth of bonus material… Volume 3 of the James Bond Ultimate Edition sets include For […]
Eragon: Tolkienesque or Tolkien-oops!
Eragon's one-sheet proclaims: The Next Great Fantasy! Not exactly. Though it has its heart in the right place, this watered down version of Christopher Paolini's bestselling fantasy novel dispenses with most of the elements that made the book so much fun… When an evil sorcerer tracks down a beautiful woman, she barely has time to […]

This week's episode, Killer Chat, is centered around a serial killer who is targeting pedophiles… When it comes to […]
Impossible Missions: Alias: The Complete Fifth Season; Mission: Impossible: The Complete First TV Season
One of the main influences for Alias creator J.J. Abrams was the original Mission: Impossible TV series. It seems somehow fitting, then, that the DVD release of the final season his series should come at virtually the same time as the release of the first season of that classic espionage series. Alias: The Complete Fifth […]
Apocalypto – a Pretty Good Movie – And Not Quite The Bloodbath They’d Have You Believe!
Despite headlines like "Mel Indulges His Bloodlust," there's less blood in Apocalypto tan in two reels of some low-budget, exploitation horror flick like, say, Hostel – and Apocalypto tells a far more interesting [if basic] story… Boiled down to its essence, Apocalypto is the story of one man's attempt to stay alive and save the […]
