There was a time when I was sort of vaguely apologetic for liking Crystal Skull in much the same way as I was for liking Die Another Day. Those days are over. I love both of them, and if you don't it's your loss. On the flip side of this I don't kno…

The first three Indiana Jones movies are awesome, I think we can all pretty much agree on this. The last two, ahhh, there's my rub. They are like pendulum swings. Where Crystal Skull gets arguably too lighthearted, Dial Of Destiny gets arguably to…

Just finished Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull on my new 4K disk, and I have to say it's like I've watched it for the first time. I *LOVE* this film. Sure, it ain't as killer as the first three, but I adore it anyway. Such fantasti…

Well, I'm gonna begin my backwards Indy marathon tonight with Crystal Skull (yeah, Imma skip Dial this time around).

IMO, SP is the last decent Bond film we will ever get until they realize that adapting the novels faithfully either in animation or semi-live action will be the best & most unexpectedly lucrative way to go. Or, they could make a couple more crap…

I've had this problem for a while- my original trillogy Jones movies looked very good on DVD, and they look splendid on blu ray... but Crystal Skull looked really bad on DVD, and though noticeably better on blu ray, it still looked... I dunno... was…

I just ordered My Adventures With Superman seasons 1 & 2 on DVD. My Son showed me a couple of episodes on HBO and I liked 'em a lot.

Just today watched Man Of Steel for the first time since it came out. For some reason I felt like giving it a second chance. Yes, I did enjoy it more this time, but no, I'm still not a fan. Too drab, the film almost looks like it was in B&W. Too…

Okay, here's my initial reactions: Raiders- thought it was only pretty good on my first viewing, but I ended up liking it better with every viewing after. Doom- didn't like it all that much first time around, but again subsequent viewing had me lovi…

I watched the trailer and suddenly it dawned on me why the "S" symbol is so radically different from the Reeve and Cavill ones- it's to give Corenswet a break. He's a new Superman, and giving him an "S" associated with another actor would invite unf…
