DVD Review The kids were watching "The Cutting Edge" for some adolescent reason I'm not going to try to fathom tonight. I have to admit to liking this film, if only for the sheer improbabiliy of watching them try to convince people that a hockey player can turn into a world-class championship figure-skater in something like six months. Heck, it's hard enough to convinceMsZillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12210761933432923847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569896.post-1061843110089665952003-08-25T13:25:00.000-07:002003-08-25T13:25:10.090-07:00Spellbound Guest Review by Geoff Theatrical Release So, I saw a movie today... a documentary. I went and saw it at the Parkway for the afternoon matinee. Nothing like sitting in a theater on a hot afternoon, on a COUCH, sipping your beer and scarfing your nachos. In fact, if you live in the Bay Area, really you should check them out. Here is their website. So, ANY movie there is great.

A good song-and-dance, but with no good-guys. DVD Review Based on a Broadway play, the story dabbles it's toes in history. During the Roaring 20's, there was a string of female murderers who were more tried in the papers than in the courtroom. Taking that concept, the story of Chicago was born. Enter Roxie Hart, a wannabe who is so selfishly intense about making it big that she MsZillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12210761933432923847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569896.post-1060761971726550152003-08-13T01:06:00.000-07:002003-08-13T01:13:19.660-07:00Solaris Hunh?! Let me watch it again. DVD Review To quote Tony Shaloub, "That was a hell of a thing." Still processing it, in many ways. This one is sort of a time-delayed movie bomb; you'll be doing laundry or something hours later and something will just pop into your head and you go, "What the hell did THAT mean?!"

Comic book fans have something else to drool over besides those Doc Ock pictures for Spiderman 2 that got released this week. Daredevil hit DVD. When I heard they were making this one, I was a little afraid. I was always amazed my parents let me read these comics. They are very very dark and grim, full of adult themes and MsZillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12210761933432923847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569896.post-1059765531819713512003-08-01T12:18:00.000-07:002003-08-01T22:32:47.613-07:00Who Critiques the Critic? In today's fast-paced world, summary is king. We can't take the time to read the whole thing - Cliff's notes, the Reader's Digest Condensed Version, the abridged dictionary all give voice to our ever-increasing need for speed. News services, online magazines and links lists give us our daily dose of just what we want to pay attention to.

It's a moral imperative! DVD Review Also posted here. The summer doldrums have us dredging around in the weird sections of our local video store. July is awful for video releases - we are all waiting with bated breath for The Two Towers and it seems like that is going to be forever.

ZillaJr picked this thing out of the rack at our local Schlockbuster. After reading the back I figured it was just your stereotypical Wire Fu slap-fest, but it looked innocuous enough, so I let him get it. I mean, it was made for TV. Can't be too horrific. Right? I watched it this evening, and was pleasantly surprised.MsZillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12210761933432923847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569896.post-1058471775224392142003-07-17T12:56:00.000-07:002003-07-18T00:50:24.093-07:00Episode 2: Attack of the Clones I have a fairly good feeling about this Theatrical Release and DVD review Originally posted here. I finally gave in and bought the Attack of the Clones on DVD. I did see it in theaters (and that was where a lot of this text comes from originally). I watched it again and came to a lot of the same conclusions. Overall, it was a fun movie.

The ones that are only funny when you are hammered or if you are several days short of sleep. You know the films... Some of my most embarassing favorites: "Battle Beyond the Stars" It is a heinous piece of bad pseudo-sci-fi, with John-boy as the lead in it and the ship had a female voice and "tracts of land".

Jay and Silent Bob are most definately not G-rated, and that was the space I was in. I guess it is yet another sign of how much they have all grown that my kids borrowed "An Evening with Kevin Smith" on DVD, and I was silly enough to watch it.

Well, I'm such a wonk that a great set of extras makes or breaks a DVD release for me. The Fellowship of the Ring "Please Please Please Get a Life" edition has so far topped my list of best extras, but it isn't in this list because it induces such violent geeky wibbles I can't write MsZillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12210761933432923847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569896.post-1058077294644376672003-07-12T23:21:00.000-07:002003-07-12T23:21:34.640-07:00The Two Towers Theatrical Release Review Originally posted here on December 23, 2002 I have seen it only once so far (aren't I a model of restraint!). I saw FOTR in the theaters 15 times before even I got too embarrassed to go again, and I expect this one to be similar. For a purist, this one is going to be a harder slog.

Interesting flick. I wish I could say it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen, but I can't. There are spots of pure magic, but then there are some really saggy spots.
