- Dear Lemon Lima Tuesday, July 19, 2011 @ 8:08AMRecommended THE FILM "Dear Lemon Lima" is a delightful expedition into the drive of adolescence. It's a film basted in eccentricity, yet successfully navigates the pictorial troubles of the teenaged mind, submitting a meticulously constructed, organic comedy that passes along some enchanting flights of fancy, using its exquisite Alaskan settings to mold a unique personality that further enhances ...

- Transformers Headmasters DVD Tuesday, July 12, 2011 @ 8:36AM By 1988 the Transformers toy line had waned in popularity in the U.S. and the TV series was canceled after 98 episodes.

- Killer Yacht Party Tuesday, July 12, 2011 @ 6:53AMRent It The Movie: It's difficult these days to put a fresh spin on the tried and true slasher genre. Independently produced Killer Yacht Party makes the attempt, but other than being set on a yacht, as the title implies, there's not much that's original here. Lacy (Becky Boxer) is an experienced L.A. party girl, wearing the right slinky dresses and stiletto heels, knowing the right people, on ...
- Wilmington on DVD: Kiss Me Deadly, If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle, Sucker Punch Wednesday, July 6, 2011 @ 10:09AMSomething went dark and sour and more than a little crazy in American culture in the post-World War II era. And more than a little of it comes bubbling up like hell-froth in Robert Aldrich's and A.I. Bezzerides' hard-boiled, high-style masterpiece Kiss Me Deadly , one of the great film noirs of the '50s.
- Victorious: Season One, Volume One Wednesday, July 6, 2011 @ 8:23AMRent It In 10 Words or Less The hi-jinks of the young and talented Reviewer's Bias* Loves: Good sitcoms Likes: iCarly , Ariana Grande Dislikes: Most Teen Sitcoms Hates: Trina The Show Against my expectations and better instincts, I've come to enjoy iCarly and I now have definite admiration for Dan Schneider and his teen-comedy empire.

[Video] Saturday, July 2, 2011 @ 10:22PM# dvdreview Michael Bay is known for going totally pee-on-your-head crazy with the Transformers movies.

- Bardem's 'Biutiful' performance is unforgettable Wednesday, June 29, 2011 @ 11:26PMIf I were an Academy Awards voter, I'd have trouble ranking one superlative performance over another.
- Blame It on the Night Monday, June 27, 2011 @ 6:24AMRent It THE FILM A domestic drama from 1984, "Blame It on the Night" is a perfectly functional tearjerker that rarely satisfies. Perhaps more interested in selling soundtracks than emotions, the picture is a vague offering of thoughtful human interaction, though supported by satisfying performances and a snapshot of MTV-fueled rock stardom in the mid-1980s. A magical time when a 37-year-old man ...
- Spongebob Squarepants: Heroes of Bikini Bottom Monday, June 27, 2011 @ 6:24AMSkip It In 10 Words or Less More absorbent, yellow, porous fun Reviewer's Bias* Loves: Animation Likes: Some Nickelodeon shows, Spongebob Dislikes: Episode-collection DVDs, Squidward Hates: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy The Story So Far... Spongebob Squarepants is a silly little sea sponge (who looks like a kitchen sponge though) who lives in Bikini Bottom with his friend Patrick the starfish ...
- Passion Play Monday, June 27, 2011 @ 6:23AMSkip It THE FILM: Director Mitch Glazer must have had something big in mind while creating Passion Play , one of the strangest mainstream films in quite some time. With Mickey Rourke as a jazz musician turned savior to Megan Fox's winged circus performer, Passion Play is a film so cluttered with haphazard theology that I found it difficult to grasp the point of it all. Pieces of the film exude a ...
- Rocko's Modern Life: Season One Sunday, June 26, 2011 @ 6:39PMRecommended As one of the many bright spots in 1990s animation, Rocko's Modern Life (1993-96) picked up a strong following during its time on Nickelodeon. These weekly two-part episodes starred Rocko the wallaby and a small cast of supporting characters, including his dog Spunky, friend Heifer and neighbors The Bigheads. It's a true cartoon's cartoon, chock full of wacky plots, questionable ...
- Red Riding Hood (Alternate & Theatrical Cuts) (Blu-ray) Thursday, June 23, 2011 @ 7:56PMSkip It The Film: Somewhere within Catherine Hardwicke's Red Riding Hood lies an adequate anxiety-driven gothic mystery, accentuated with Brothers Grimm-caliber whimsy and contemporary polish. A fine snowy setting populated by dark-wood cabins dominates the image, while suitable casting choices -- focal being Big Love 's Amanda Seyfried -- offer their services in breathing life into the ...

- Doctor Who: The Gunfighters - Episode 25 Tuesday, June 21, 2011 @ 1:54PMRecommended The Show: One thing that you have to give to the early Doctor Who stories: theywere willing to try new things. Case inpoint: The Gunfighters from the show's third season. This oldwest adventure was the first Who story set entirely inthe US but theyalso decided to have a song narrate the show. This tune, the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon ...
- The Island (Blu-ray) Monday, June 20, 2011 @ 5:56AMHighly Recommended THE FILM: "I WANT TO LIVE !"

- Elektra Luxx Monday, June 20, 2011 @ 5:54AMRent It THE FILM In the grand tradition of "Critters 4" and "Hellraiser 7" comes "Elektra Luxx," a sequel to a motion picture few actually saw. It's a ballsy move, but writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez doesn't seem fazed by the challenge, again assembling a crisscrossing tale of Los Angeles love in ruins, surveying the urges and woes of those permanently stuck inside their own heads. It's an ...

- Doctor Who: Time and the Rani Sunday, June 12, 2011 @ 3:54PMRecommended The Movie: [Reviewer's Note: The following three paragraphs have evolved into my standard overview of Doctor Who from previous write-ups I've done for the original series' DVD releases here at DVD Talk. Doctor Who fans can feel free to scroll down to the next set of images for my thoughts on Time and the Rani itself.] The BBC science fiction series Doctor Who is a powerhouse legend ...
- Nice Guy Johnny Special Edition Sunday, June 12, 2011 @ 1:23PMSkip It THE MOVIE: There's a lot that's wrong with Nice Guy Johnny , and we'll get to all of that, but for now, let's talk about what's right: Kerry Bish . When I first saw the film at Tribeca 2010, she was unknown to me (she's since appeared in Red State and a few other films), but she's fantastic here--she's got a fresh-faced magnetism, outstanding timing, natural delivery, and she's sexy as ...

- Norm Macdonald: Me Doing Standup Saturday, June 11, 2011 @ 11:24AMRecommended In 10 Words or Less Norm Macdonald is an acquired taste Reviewer's Bias* Loves: Stand-up comedy Likes: Norm Macdonald Dislikes: Taking cringe humor too far Hates: The Show I'm a fan of Norm Macdonald, but I know I'm part of a niche audience. All you have to do is look at the success rate of his TV and movie projects and the point is firmly established. He's got to be the only person ...

- Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated: Season 1 V.1 Thursday, May 26, 2011 @ 6:54AMHighly Recommended Scooby-Doohas had so many different incarnations over the years that it cansometimesbecome a bit tiresome to see a new series arrive, especially forold-schoolanimation fans who are generally more appreciative of classic episodesand lessinterested in the newest versions that are sometimes a bit lacking inthehumor, wit, and charm of the original Hanna-Barbera classic ...
- The Quiet Arrangement Thursday, May 26, 2011 @ 6:53AMRent It THE MOVIE: Crime never pays. The Quiet Arrangement employs a number of narrative tricks like fractured timelines and shifting perspectives to give us a crime thriller that drives this point home. Unfortunately, what it fails to provide is any reason for us to care about most of the characters. Walter Briggs (Kevin M. Hayes) is a dirty lawyer with a bag of cash that isn't his and a ...
- Stargate Universe: Bring home Destiny's final voyage Wednesday, May 25, 2011 @ 5:08PMThis is an advertorial for Stargate Universe—The Complete Final Season on DVD from MGM and Fox Home Entertainment, in stores May 31, 2011.

- Leaving Las Vegas (Blu-ray) Wednesday, May 25, 2011 @ 1:56PMRecommended The Movie: Nicholas Cage took home and Oscar for his performance as a screenwriter named Ben Sanderson in this 1995 film from director Mike Figgis (who also adapted the source novel and did the film's score). The film follows Sanderson as he basically hits rock bottom, his alcoholism completely taking over his life and costing him his career and his personal life. With his life a ...
- A Somewhat Gentle Man Wednesday, May 25, 2011 @ 9:39AMRent It Bag packed and ready to leave, Ulrik (Stellan Skarsg rd) stands blankly in front of a prison gate, having just completed a 12-year sentence. A guard appears, offering him a bottle of wine and some parting advice: don't look back. Go forth with purpose and determination! Life is about to begin again! The gate opens, and Ulrik takes about four steps before turning around, with a vaguely ...
- The Usual Suspects - Limited Edition Digibook (Blu-ray) Tuesday, May 24, 2011 @ 5:26PMSkip It I hate to admit it, but I generally put as much effort into reviewing any given disc as the studio did putting it together. Hours of supplements and a great transfer? I'm good for 2,000 words and a handful of carefully-selected screen captures. Slap an existing bare-bones disc in a fancy case to trick unsuspecting fans waiting for an upgrade? 950 words and no pretty pictures. So while ...
- A contest of atrocities Monday, May 23, 2011 @ 9:10PMVengeance is the engine that has driven strong dramas right from the beginning, and when the movies came along it found a fertile new field. If the theme were removed from genres like the American Western or the Chinese martial arts film, there wouldn't be too much left. But in recent years it has been Korean film-makers who have adopted the revenge plot and taken it to ferocious extremes that ...
- Gettysburg: Director's Cut (Blu-ray) Monday, May 23, 2011 @ 3:47PMRecommended The Movie: Robert F. Maxwell's 1993 film Gettysburg is quite an achievement. A massive, sprawling five hour epic of a war film shot pretty much entirely on location using over 13,000 Civil War reenactment aficionados (all of whom recreated the famous battle with as much authenticity as possible), the film took almost fifteen years to make from the time Maxwell started co-writing to ...
- TFF gone, but these films not forgotten Monday, May 23, 2011 @ 2:12PMThe Tribeca Film Festival may no longer be happening - but these films, which our reviewers approve of, will hopefully have a well-deserved theatrical run in 2011; or become available as Movies on Demand; or go direct to DVD. No matter what type of screen you find them on, they're all worth looking for - and watching.
