It is going to why another short summary as yet again a total dearth of quality flicks is being released in either the theaters or on DVD this week. Theatrical releases are particularly putrid this week as the only major release is Bangkok Dangerous, which looks like pure utter crap. Here in Minneapolis the only [...]Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:03:54 +0000
Next week I review yet another hard to find independent film. That is until its recent release on DVD. Now everyone will have the chance o watch and marvel over the combination of claymation and Edgar Allen Poe in a most perfect union. That’s because next week’s film is Ray Harryhausen Presents: The Pit and [...]Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:10:32 +0000
Now I have been fairly slow to hop on the High Def bandwagon for many reasons. I don’t like being forced into buying a new technology, nor have I fallen for the claims of how HD is the new standard bearer. HD still is vastly inferior to film, and no amount of campaigning by Sony [...]Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:59:35 +0000
Going to be a quick post today as there is seriously not much to recommend this week in theaters or on DVD. Babylon A.D. is my pick for theatrical new release of the week, primarily due to my blatant sci-fi fanboy nature as well as to see if the claims by director Mathieu Kassovitz that [...]Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:48:29 +0000
First off, I’d like to apologize for getting so literary with this column. I always assume Matt breaks down in tears whenever sees one of my posts. I do have reviews of Federico Fellini’s La Strada, John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness, and Jonathan Glazer’s Sexy Beast (which might just have one of the greatest [...]Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:37:08 +0000
Since we are just finishing up the tail end of summer, I thought it might be fitting for me to finally get around to reviewing a superhero movie for the site. And while Super Fuzz was certainly tempting, I decided to go with a little known Canadian superhero film instead, called Sidekick. But since it [...]Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:20:59 +0000
The young people of today may not realize just how scary the word Satanist used to be here in the United States. You see, being a Puritanical society most people had a fear of God. But if there was one thing that could scare them even more then God it was Satan. And thanks to [...]Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:47:16 +0000
I can understand why you might not head over to Film Junk for enlightenment. Sure they run a great site and have the best film related podcast on the Internerd, so I understand that you might not realize they have a slumbering giant just beginning to awaken in Cantankerous. With only three episodes produced to [...]Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:52:56 +0000
Looks like their are plenty of future guilty pleasure being released this week for me to pick from. And while I do love me some Rainn Wilson, I don’t think I am going to be able to bring myself, or more importantly Anna, to go watch The Rocker. Death Race and The House Bunny both [...]Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:58:50 +0000
Last week was a bit crazy. Like seemingly most of Netflix’s subscribers, my shipments were interrupted for several days. Unlike most subscriber’s my movies were delayed for an entire week, which lead me to a slight problem, in that I had no way of watching The Devil’s Rain. Thus putting me in a bit of [...]
