DVD Review: Delirious(0)

May 6, 2008

Delirious, an offbeat dramedy about a low-end paparazzi, is another hit by DiCillo, but will likely go horribly underappreciated.

DVD Review: Delirious

Blu-Ray Review: P.S. I Love You

P.S. I Love You is a sure-fire tearjerker and a solid effort by Hillary Swank but is ultimately forgettable due to its conventional nature.

Blu-Ray Review: Shall We Dance?

Shall We Dance? is not a ground breaking romantic comedy, but offers an enjoyable time for a demographic that rarely has movies targeted its way.

DVD Review: Resurrecting The Champ

Release Date: April 8th, 2008
Running Time: 112 minutes
The Film
I am a huge boxing fan so I was pretty amped to check out Resurrecting the Champ. Samuel L. Jackson as a faded boxing star turned homeless man seemed like a winning combination, and why not, it worked for him as a faded musician turned bum […]

One Missed Call (Blu-Ray)

Release Date: April 22nd, 2008
Running Time: 87 minutes
The Film
As much as I love The Ring and found it to be genuinely terrifying, I curse it because of the endless wave of Japanese horror remakes that have crammed into theatres since its success. I thought The Grudge was decent, but after that I have avoided […]

DVD Review: P2

Release Date: April 8th, 2008
Running Time: 98 minutes
The Film
I have been very impressed with Alexandre Aja’s work in High Tension and The Hills Have Eyes. He has a knack for the gruesome and knows how to construct a nail-biting scene. After seeing the trailer for P2 I wasn’t excited, but decided to give […]

DVD Review: Juno

Release Date: April 15th, 2008
Running Time: 96 minutes
The Film
Every year it happens: Hollywood decides what the best movies of the year are and shoves them down your throat with advertisements and awards until the public is convinced. The biggest example of that in 2007 was Juno. Don’t get me wrong, Juno is a […]

That ’70s Show: Season Eight

Release Date: April 1st, 2008
Running Time: 477 minutes
The Film
Reviewing television DVDs makes me tired of shows that I even really followed to begin with, which also makes it blatantly clear when a series has gone on past its prime. That ‘70s Show: Season Eight is an unfortunate example of a good series losing steam […]

What Love Is

Release Date: April 1st, 2008
Running Time: 88 minutes
The Film
Romantic comedies are a tough genre to be innovative with. The audience tends to want to feel comfortable with the structure of the film and how it plays out; if you break from convention too much you wise lose them. Unfortunately this has led to […]

Cloverfield

Release Date: April 22nd, 2008
Running Time: 84 minutes
The Film
Monster movies are fantastic. There’s something so primal, so terrifying about a larger-than-life beast tearing up a city. It represents all our fears about the uncontrollable, the apocalyptic. Unfortunately most monster films are relegated to camp, B-movie levels of quality. When the immense […]
