Abbott And Costello Meet Captain Kidd
by Randall Cyrenne, May 11, 2011
Nearing the end of their successful 15-year film career, Abbott and Costello produced this independent color picture co-starring the wonderful Charles Laughton. The boys tussle with pirates in a fight for treasure and love on the high seas.
Warner Archive: The Green Slime
by Ben Simon, December 1, 2010
Brilliantly bonkers slice of sixties sci-fi kitsch that actually disguises some solid story points, even if the unintentionally hilarious script and rubber monsters derail the fear factor! The disc is pricey, however, for an average transfer and zero extras.
Sherlock: Season One
by Ben Simon, November 30, 2010
The Doctor Who team’s excellent contemporary updating of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant detective, with the disc also surprising in its solid technical and supplemental aspects.
Armageddon
by Ben Simon, May 13, 2010
Touchstone Pictures’ explosively entertaining end of the world epic should be quite the experience on hi-def Blu-ray, but the treatment it receives here is far from spectacular, with only so-so sound and vision, and a complete lack of extras.
Tombstone
by Ben Simon, May 11, 2010
Another Buena Vista title gets a Blu-ray upgrade, but once again the excellent hi-def picture and sound are supported by a lackluster extras package that leaves much to be desired.
Warner Archive: The Amazing Captain Nemo
by Ben Simon, April 27, 2010
Producer Irwin Allen earns his Master Of Disaster tag for all the wrong reasons in this unintentionally hilarious slice of classic kitsch. They sure don’t make ’em like this anymore!
Shorts
by Randall Cyrenne, December 16, 2009
Robert Rodriguez adds another children’s film to his resume. This one is mostly for kids, but with fun for adults if you don’t mind some gross-out stuff. Fun special effects and decent bonus features make the Blu-ray worth a look.
Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood
by Ben Simon, September 29, 2008
Director Michael Winner was an “interesting” choice to put in charge of a family film, and it’s not an entirely successful outcome, being tinged ever so slightly with some questionable material in an otherwise engaging film that’s packed with old-time screen legend cameos.
