Lois jumping into a river (and Clark trying to hide his "super" abilities) is definitely more dramatic than Lois jumping out a window. Jumping into a river is also a more plausible risk for her character to take. Donner's fight with the villains is a little awkward, but I think Superman sm...

Andy...did we see the same film? I'm afraid I have to side with Monterey Jack... I thought it was a poorly written, blandly acted, dull and passionless. The screenplay had no form to it, no dramatic arc, and it didn't build to any kind of satisfying climax. The whole kraken sequence didn't have any ...

Wasn't he still Supes when they "bed"?? I'm trying to remember, wasn't it around the time he baked souffle with X-ray vision? I recall they had dinner and while Lois went to "change into something more comfortable" Superman spoke to his mother, who told him he must become human ...

One last thing concerning the kid: If you are willing to accept that Superman would sleep with Lois Lane in SUPERMAN II, you have to be willing to accept that there might be consequences. Remember, those seeds weren't planted in this film (pun intended). ;) But Superman was no longer "super&qu...

I've heard of it but it hasn't been in circulation for years and years. Even the lone IMDB comment is from someone who saw a CLIP at Brown when Scorsese was there -- not even the full documentary, just a clip! They showed it on Bravo once (in the good old days -- before they had commercials and act...

Hasn't ANYONE heard of this movie?:?

With all this talk of encryption and paranoid attempts to control our viewing habits, HD-DVD and Blue Ray are sounding more and more like DIVX! (And we all saw where that format went.) Here is an interesting article at the site where I buy video tapes (actually its one installment of a series of art...

I keep on thinking about CD-i - remember them? Or 8mm video? Or the pre-laserdisc video discs. I remember those videodiscs. They were suspended in a plastic shell, and actually read by a stylus! That was almost as funny a format as the LP walkman. And I'm not even going to mention the B word... Wel...

Came across this article the other day. Of course its merely one man's opinion, but he makes some interesting points...

I'll settle for 480p for the moment!

I have a good frind who grew-up in Little Italy in the 60s, who's birthday is coming-up, and I wanted to get him a copy of Martin Scorsese's documentary Italian American. However, searches for this title on DVD have come-up nill. Amazon has links to private sellers who are peddling the VHS...startin...

What about Revolution (arguably the most unfairly-knocked movie of all time...of which The Patriot was virtually a remake)? Of course I'd want a director and cinematographer commentary and an interview with John Corigliano in the special features. Not that it would happen, but it would be nice. Paul

I had no burning desire to see this film to begin with (a costume piece tracked with 80s tunes just doesn't grab me for some odd reason). But it looks as tho the film may well be even worse than the trailer suggests...

This is the same treatment previously given to other fringe formats such as D-VHS/D-Theater, DVD-A and SACD, all of which can only be described as mainstream failures (of these formats only SACD is barely holding onto a narrow segment of the audiophile niche, and even there its sales are dwarfed by...

Cool!

Hope IMDB is right about Trevor Jones. Wouldn't be the same without him. No mention of the film on Jones' own site, but his site isn't updated regularly (and doesn't list any upcoming assignments anyway).

I read this interesting bit of news at totalmedia.com (where I buy most of my MiniDV tapes)... https://www.totalmedia.com/tips_31.asp Whole article is below... Blu-ray vs. HD DVD update. Sony lost the VCR battle in the 1970s when its highly regarded Betamax technology was trounced by VHS, a more wid...
