“If you were believe the opinions of many members of the forum for Twin Galaxies, the organisation that tracks videogame world records, and which plays a major role in King of Kong, King of Krap, as they so wittily call it, is the most egregious misrepresentation of the truth since, I don’t know, the Hitler […]

“Mystery Science Theater 3000 is, arguably, the greatest document of the late 20th century. The premature end of the series in 1999 was bittersweet — while the show would never render itself irrelevant, its loss has led to a void that nothing else has been able to fill.”
I love Mystery Science Theater 3000 to bits. […]

“What’s your favourite film of the last couple of years? Well, whatever it was, imagine you’d been waiting for what felt like forever for it to be released on DVD but then found out it was released in literally the laziest fashion possible. A barebones, non-anamorphic release with no special features, a ton of trailers […]

“There’s something almost charming in how bad the latest sequel in the Rush Hour franchise is, finally emerging six years after the last installment.
Director Brett Ratner and writer Jeff Nathanson have unintentionally crafted a film that manages to parody itself. It represents the confused, simplistic view of the world that we imagine an American in […]

“The names Frankie and Annette probably aren’t the most recognisable ones to be added to the MGM Movie Legends Collection. Even if we were to mention their full names, Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, the likelihood is that the average person on the street would respond with, at best, ambivalence, unless they particularly noted Frankie […]

“A lot of strange things have been done in the name of anthropomorphism in CGI children’s films: everything from vehicles that managed to build themselves roads and towns in Pixar’s Cars to male cows that inexplicably had udders in the risible Barnyard has been done. By those standards, a film about surfing penguins on a […]

“Director Bob Odenkirk was one of the creative geniuses behind Mr. Show, and star Will Arnett was one of the standout performers in the sadly missed absurdist sitcom Arrested Development. With that in mind, it’s easy to fool yourself into thinking that Let’s Go to Prison might be an overlooked comedy classic just waiting to […]

“Terry Gilliam gives an introduction before the film begins on this two-disc, special edition release of Tideland: ‘Many of you will hate this film,’ he begins, with what can only be called an air of resignation, ‘but many of you will love this film,’ he adds with optimism. It’s unfortunate that he didn’t also say: […]

“If you’re thinking about picking up Confetti on DVD, it’s probably because of one of two reasons: you’re either in the market for a British film with at least three weddings but don’t want any funerals in it (sorry, Richard Curtis) or you’re a fan of contemporary British television comedy and you want to see […]

“There’s this brilliant thing that ‘the kids’ are doing these days called ‘ghost riding the whip’ where you set your car into neutral, get out and dance beside it while it rolls along with no one at the wheel. It’s a pretty fair metaphor for Ghost Rider: it wobbles along so slowly and unsteadily that […]
