This movie sounds like a runaway train spinning towards disaster. Disney has no clue what to do with Marvel at this point. None of the post-"Phase 1" heroes have taken hold, even something like ANT-MAN (always a B grade hero to begin with) that generated multiple sequels played to rapidly ...

I was wondering what was holding this up...crazy but typical. This kind of thing with certain big stars happens all the time, but Amazon/MGM, not used to paying for movies of this nature, probably had zero control.

I don't think any film before or since is as visually-imaginative or arresting. There's not a more influential film from a visual standpoint than this one. Not in my lifetime, and perhaps not ever. Even watching this film today is like stepping into its own aesthetic. It's not a film from 1982, it'...

The film stars Jason Statham (you know what you're in for right there) as a reclusive beekeeper with (of course) a "mysterious past", who sets about avenging a friend who has been robbed of her entire life savings by phone scammers. The premise is basically cribbed from The Equalizer , bu...

Praise from Kojima!

Surprise first ever HD release of LUCKY LADY, the infamous 70s big studio disappointment (you wonder how it's coming out since it's a Fox title I believe even there), plus the good natured George Segal/Jackie Bissett/Robert Morley comic mystery... https://media1.jpc.de/image/w340/front/0/42501243726...

Big new Kino Lorber column with FLETCH, FLETCH LIVES, THE MINUS MAN, a look at Nancy Savoca's trilogy of late 80s/early 90s works (TRUE LOVE, DOGFIGHT, HOUSEHOLD SAINTS), and more in this week's column:

Preach Paul! And don't forget hits like FRIGHT NIGHT and FLETCH also. In fact here's the top films from that summer...note a few of these were spring releases that played during the summer but you get the drift! 1 Rambo: First Blood Part II $145,393,330 2,074 $150,415,432 May 22 TriStar Pictures 2 B...

Saw Tom Scott's name on the Fletch trailer as I watched the new Kino Lorber Blu-Ray, and came across this podcast from a few months back where he talked about scoring the film and having it tossed. Honestly...I prefer the Faltermeyer score and the classic theme song he wrote...but it's interesting h...

SUPERGIRL finally flew in. Again, Plaion/Koch has done a solid job. Additional extras like the US Tri-Star trailers are on here too, while the transfer on the 125-min version looks a hair better than the Warner US disc. The Director's Cut has been nicely upgraded, if those shots are upscaled you'd b...

I do think prognostications of doom are a bit exaggerated tho -- I don't think the cinema will become completely extinct. Live theater still exists despite predictions that "talkies" would render live performance obsolete. However, the theater certainly isn't what it was before movies cam...

It might seem like a reach but the more you dive into his comments, he's right. Film doesn't have the impact it once did socially or culturally. When was the last time you even ran into a relative or friend who WENT to a movie? Instead I've run into more people over the last year in casual conversat...

Given the property it better not cost even half that.

5 years later -- maybe they're starting to get the point...maybe??

Apparently the 2nd half of that takes even MORE liberties with the source material than the first part!
