It's probably going to be a release very similar to their recent re-release of The Third Man, which was very good (if unwieldy). I have faith it will be comparable in quality to a Criterion release, just way more expensive and with too many discs.

Yeah, seriously. What an awful comparison.
Yeah, definitely. I liked the Martian quite a bit, but Brooklyn beats it hands-down. Possibly just on the lack of Donald Glover falling down "hilariously."
:( I didn't mind it so much in the first season or two, but when you got to the later seasons where they were out of high school and it was generally quite a dark show and the theme still sounded like the lowest budget, most obviously chord-progressioned garage metal theme ever, it often pulled me right out of the…
Just thinking about that grating ANIMALS, ANIMALS makes my fast-forward muscles reflexively tense up. I HATE that opening theme. Right down there with Buffy the Vampire Slayer (at least that one is quick).
Ummm…they're far less bad these days than in say, the 1910s through the 1990s! Practically every romantic comedy from the golden age involves a much greater age gap than Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper or whatever you're referring to here. This kind of pairing was far more radical then than in comparison to…
Exactly. I can buy some of what this article's arguing in terms of emotional resonance in the non-action scenes, but it would be more than balanced out by the fact that almost none of the scenes in which Max gets physical would have been remotely convincing. It would have been like Arnie in Terminator Genisys. I…
There's a particular site that deals specifically in stuff like this (weird cult films, and fan-edits of ones like this which have never gotten proper releases, etc) which has been around for probably 15 years now which shouldn't be too hard to find, it's currently invite-only but has a lot of open enrollment times! …
There's an unrated home video version with a lot of blood put back in, as well as a few f-bombs. The theater version was very sanitized.
Does anyone remember being unable to see R rated movies when they were a young teen? I sure don't! Buying a ticket for something else and then walking into it in the multiplex, or just renting it when it came out on video were not difficult. Worst case scenario, someone's older sibling would get it for us!
Agreed. I really enjoy most of the first half of the film, Rila Fukushima's character is a lot of fun. It just gets bogged down with Tao Okamoto's bland character and then the obligatory giant robot BS at the end. The lizard lady didn't work for me either.
It's a gag taken from On Her Majesty's Secret Service where someone falls into a huge snowblower, iirc.
A useless measure if ever there was one. That puts it equal with transformers 4, and behind Transformers 1 and 3!
I haven't seen all of these, but some of them very assuredly are not romantic comedies, ex Mr Hulot's Holiday and Rules of teh Game. Midnight in Paris and Hannah and her Sisters are definitely borderline, they include some romance but I definitely wouldn't call it the focus of the former and the latter is arguable.
AGREED, that was the most egregious part of this list.
The problem with it IMO was that it's absolutely loaded with mildly esoteric 80s and 90s references, and thus really isn't a YA book, it's a YA book for the late 20s-mid 30s crowd who should really know better. The entire romance plot is absolutely cringeworthy. It's certainly entertaining, but I unfortunately don't…
I thought the dramatic scenes in Trainwreck mostly landed and really looked forward to her doing more dramatic work since I didn't find any of the comedy in that movie funny (and I loathe her standup). I really like her persona in interviews and whatnot, and think her show is frequently great. I was hoping for her…
Man, Sia should not be lumped in with those other two.
He wasn't, but Eddie Redmayne was so aggravating in his second Oscar-bait performance in a row, and in such a lame film, that I feel strongly he should be removed from the list :D
You're thinking of Last House on the Left.
