Word is very positive coming out of the screenings the other night. No critic reviews up yet except for a couple of people on Rotten Tomatoes from Australia and they loved it.

Outstanding work Tim, thanks so much for mentioning this! Universal may not be opening the flood gates domestically, but I am glad that they're licensing out their films to overseas distributors. Between releases like this and Eureka and Arrow's UK efforts, I'm sure we'll be seeing some great titles...

Lucas only directed re-shoots, one of the Battlestar Galactica directors (pretty well regarded) is the credited director.

I know what you're saying Michael, but on the other hand, personally I'd want some of the best cartoons on this one release because they're in HD. This may be the only release of Looney Tunes on Blu unless it sells, so if this is my one chance to get some of those classics in high-def, I like the ro...

SOUL SURFER 8/10 What a terrific film -- well acted, inspiring, true to life -- I think most of the people who disliked it were people who had an issue that the film was produced as a "faith based" picture. There's no preachifying here, just rock solid performances (AnnaSophia Robb is just...

The Watcher In The Woods (1980): 6.5/10 I had a $3 off coupon good for any Disney DVD or Blu-Ray, so I settled on this oddity from the studio's early-80's "dark" period. Okay... what the hell did I just watch?! :shock: While atmospherically shot by Alan Hume and scored by Staney Meyers, W...

Just saw the pre-orders. I personally think the Looney Tunes set -- which is 3 discs but only 50 cartoons on 2 of them -- is priced too high at $38 (for the Digibook) and $51 (the limited edition with Jerry Beck's 52-page book and shotglass). The Tom & Jerry set, which is only $23, offers 2 disc...

I didn't care for THE MOSQUITO COAST at all -- I don't blame him for making it because it was with Peter Weir coming off the triumph of WITNESS, but I think Ford made a lot of bad choices during his career. THE DEVIL'S OWN, SIX DAYS SEVEN NIGHTS, HANOVER STREET, RANDOM HEARTS, REGARDING HENRY, HOLLY...

Prediction: Cowboys and Aliens becomes kind of a home video success story for being something that's "bad" in a way you can laugh at it and enjoy yourself. Regrettably it doesn't sound like the movie is much fun. A few critics I read said it was lifeless, dreary and Harrison Ford has neve...

LOL...I'm surprised, but not THAT surprised. In fact I think it's kind of funny. COWBOYS AND ALIENS might end up a bigger bomb than GREEN LANTERN. :lol: 1. The Smurfs - 3D (Sony) NEW [3,395 Runs] Friday $13M, Estimated Weekend $40M Sure, it's easy to look down your nose at The Smurfs, but it was bro...

THE SMURFS $29 million....just INSANE. :shock: It's official...stupid parents will take their kids to see anything . :? I think it's one of those things also where parents want to take their kids to the movies, and right now Hollywood isn't giving them any choices other than, well, THE SMURFS. Ther...

As far as "black experiences in WWII" movies go, I certainly hope this is better than Spike Lee's dreadful Miracle At St. Anna , but the January release date is not encouraging. Great F/X, though. I don't know, times have changed a little, decent movies get released in January these days....

Like we all knew it would...those ads smelled like WILD WILD WEST all over again! They are in major trouble: bad reviews, a $150 million budget, pay-outs to producers like Spielberg and Ron Howard (who will take something out of the gross I'd imagine) not to mention Favreau. A likely money loser no ...

Actually looks good!
