Sometimes I'm actually a little bummed that my old tapes of the Simpsons (from around 1992-1997, when I was a compulsive little snot) don't have commercials. Obviously at the time I wanted to conserve space and avoid fast forwarding, but now that I own those episodes on DVD, the only reason to drag those tapes out of

I just got a new LCD and was shocked by how terrible the picture looked when I put on a blu ray. Turns out the backlight was too low, the brightness was way too high, and the sharpness enhancement was at 100%, which was like taking every pixel and marking it with a highlighter.

An American Haunting drove me fucking nuts because I really wanted Donald Sutherland just to ball up and drive that ghost right the fuck out of his house.  I think it could have worked as a fable about a parent asserting responsibility in the face of a child's unfathomable problems.  (And seriously, if anyone can boss

The ending of something like the last exorcism has a variety of odd layers to it. On the one hand, it tends to be frustrating when a movie feints toward exploring tue vagaries of religion and then goes into full on 'It was the devil' mode (the exorcism of Emily rose leaps to mind).

SHITTY FRENCH SPOILERS
After seeing high tension with my wife, we couldn't get over the fact that it was pretty much "the three," the screenplay the twin brother writes in adaptation. Yep, during that car chase, the same woman was driving both vehicles.

I was waiting for that one too. Of course it's more or less Bruce Springsteen's version of cocaine blues (exept that Johnny was fucked up on tanqueray and wine, a combination I keep meaning to try, just for the homicidal madness). Still, at least a shout out in the cash entry would have been nice.
