Submitted by BrianTT on May 9, 2012 - 10:52amCHICAGO – Only The Criterion Collection can do a film like “Being John Malkovich” justice.

Blu-Ray Review: Silly ‘Secretariat’ Bolstered By Superb Extras
Submitted by mattmovieman on February 3, 2011 - 3:38pmCHICAGO – There are few things more unsightly than a small-minded film that pats itself on the back for being enlightened. “Secretariat” is no more about a horse than “The Blind Side” was about a football player. Instead, both films revolve around insufferable, blonde, finger-wagging, pontificating heroines who confuse bold feminism with extreme self-absorption.
Film Review: Talented Ensemble Wasted on Incredibly Dull ‘Red’
Submitted by BrianTT on October 15, 2010 - 9:54amCHICAGO – They say you can learn as much from a bad movie as you can from a good one. If that’s true, what’s the lesson to be taken from the extremely boring and misguided “Red”?
Blu-Ray Review: Josh Brolin, Megan Fox Stumble Through ‘Jonah Hex’
Submitted by BrianTT on October 14, 2010 - 10:39amCHICAGO – Modern audiences aren’t stupid enough to fall for lackluster product like “Jonah Hex” in theaters (it barely made over $10 million on a reported $47 million budget and currently hovers around 4.5 on IMDB) but it’s the kind of film that looks appealing on the Blockbuster shelf (or Netflix page). Don’t fall for it. Warner Bros. continues to produce excellent HD video and audio but even they can’t shine this turd into something worth your time.
