In preparations for the DVD/HD-DVD release of Transformers Oct 16, the movie site has some new stuff on there. The coolest feature on the site would have to be the one where you have Optimus Prime call your friends; similar to the Sam Jackson’s “Snakes on a Plane” phone call.Â

Halloween is just around the corner, here’s some great horror rental ideas for everyone, please feel free to leave comments and list some of your favorite modern horror flicks.
1. Halloween– No, not the Rob Zombie remake, the original classic that started it all. John Carpenter’s original slasher classic that introduced the world to an unstoppable boogeyman named Michael Myers and also focused more on atmosphere than gore. A good film for everyone sick of the current cycle of torture porn films.
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre– The original film from Tobe Hooper, nowhere near as violent and …

The Highlander franchise was always hurt by the fact that the original film had a definitive ending. Highlander was always a cool and original concept. The idea is that immortals have been running around for centuries living many lives in my different countries, and fighting till just one remains. That immortal credo “there can be only one” used to be something interesting and gave the film and series that spun off the film some depth. The immortals have to constantly fight till one remains. They can only die if their head is removed from their body. This is called a …
Why stop with the Batman comic review, I was surfing the net and found this Today show footage of the newest Batman vehicle: Bat-Pod. I already saw stills of this vehicle a couple of months ago and my opinion still hasn’t changed. This vehicle doesn’t seem practical in a realistic Batman movie. Add to the fact, he’ll look ridiculous riding it. But with dark lighting and angles, I’m sure he won’t look as awkard as Meredith Viera. The bad guys could just bump the “bike” and Batman would be out of business. But what do I know, Chris Nolan has already …
Redline is the ultimate vanity project. A 26 million dollar street racing flick financed by a rich punk producer using exotic sports cars from his private collection. Redline makes Fast and the Furious look like Hamlet. It’s got awful acting, terrible direction and an even worse “script”. Don’t be fooled by the shiny DVD cover that promises shiny cars and even shinier women, the cars are the coolest thing about the film. Redline even commits the ultimate cardinal sin for a street racing film, the races are tedious and poorly shot. I’ve seen more exciting street racing at the corner of …

Stardust is a magical, hugely entertaining fantasy adventure based on a novel by master storyteller Neil Gaiman. Gaiman previously wrote the screenplay for the sadly under-seen film Mirror Mask and Stardust is even better. A big budget adventure teaming with inventive ideas and great acting and storytelling. Stardust is currently tanking at the box office but nothing can prevent it from being considered a fantasy favorite in the coming years when people discover it for themselves on DVD and cable TV. It evokes memories of the much-loved Princess Bride and is on that level of excellence.
The story is simplicity …
The Lookout is a nifty indie film with great performances from its cast and some cool visuals and entertaining storytelling. It manages to evoke both Memento and Fargo, but it feels fresh and different enough to stand out on its own thanks to some great acting, a very good script, and excellent direction. The standout is Joseph Gordon Levitt, who is turning out to be the best young actor in Hollywood.
Levitt plays a hockey player/town golden boy named Chris Pratt who is left brain-damaged late one night after a horrific car accident. He has only one real friend, a blind …
The home theatre forums are buzzing today with the news that Paramount and its sister company, Dreamworks are going to be HD-DVD exclusive. Prior to this announcement, Paramount was format neutral, which meant they were releasing movies on both Blu Ray and HD.
So why is this big news? First of all, Paramount and Dreamworks have some big movies under their belt, here’s a partial list:
Transformers alone will sell players, the other titles are just bonus. I know …
This is an extremely difficult film to review and it was pretty difficult to watch at times. There’s no driving narrative behind it and it remains an elaborate mystery to me. It’s a love it or loathe it type of film and I’m sure many will loathe it. It’s David Lynch at his most “Lynchian”, but it’s also brilliant in its own warped way. Lynch is at the top of his game here getting great performances all around and ramping up his nightmare/creep show gimmicks to a fever pitch. You may not have a clue what is going on but you …

” I like men now ! “— The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons is a classic animated television series that I grew up watching. It’s been a consistently hilarious, clever and smart series for much of its run. There’s no doubt that the show has lost some steam in recent seasons and has been very uneven, but its still very funny and at times as relevant as ever. The Simpsons Movie continues the tradition of earlier episodes of the series mixing the clever and the stupid, the sublime and the …
