ROCK BOTTOM (DVD)

I was expecting this to come much later so it was a real surprise. Externally, this totally lives up to the hype. It’s a nice sized little briefcase that somewhat replicates the Voight-Kampff [...]

  Year Released: 2007 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 96 minutes |
I’m not prepared to crown writers Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan (who also directed) the heirs apparent to Samuel R. Bronkowitz, but given the other options, they end up winning by default…

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE READERS…
Next year brings us Iron Man, Batman, the Joker, Indiana Jones, Hellboy, and a giant monster stomping New York. It may just turn out to be a banner year in pure blockbuster mayhem with films that provide substance along with their monikers. They’re also my most anticipated movies of 2008. 2007 was a great year [...]

Year Released: 2007 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 117 minutes |

JACKASS 2.5 ONLINE FROM DECEMBER 19TH TO DECEMBER 31ST
I wouldn’t be any kind of a fan of reckless anarchy and perpetual adolescence if I didn’t make a post about this. Seems that you Yanks can watch the semi-new Jackass film for free online at: http://blockbuster.jackassworld.com/ Since I’m Canuckistan (the movie will only play for people in the United-States) I can’t confirm the video/audio quality of the link, so I’d be [...]
