This is Spinal Tap Blu-ray Disc Review

By brenden ⋅ July 28, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I have no idea how many times I’ve seen This is Spinal Tap. A million times maybe? Probably five-million or something. Anyways, I’ve seen it a lot. But I’ve never seen it look as good as it does on MGM’s new Blu-ray disc. …Continued…

The Man With The Golden Gun Blu-ray Disc Review

By brenden ⋅ June 23, 2009 ⋅ One comment

You know, this movie is really not as bad as I remember it.

Roger Moore returns as Bond in The Man With The Golden Gun, his second outing as British super-spy, 007. I’ve never been a big fan of Moore’s wimpy, jocular characterization but his sense of suave doesn’t seem to get in the way here. This isn’t one of the “great” Bond’s but it far out-performs Moore’s later, geriatric efforts in Octopussy and A View to a Kill. He’s on point. Ready for business. And up against one of the coolest villains in Bond history - Dracula! …Continued…

Spinal Tap Blu-ray Re-Announced for July Release

By brenden ⋅ June 16, 2009 ⋅ One comment

This is Spinal Tap is required viewing for any musician. In fact, it’s like a touring musician’s handbook: The Dangers of Being on the Road 101. It’s easy to imagine when watching the film that everything on screen is quite fantastical and could never exist in the real world. I’m here to tell you that Spinal Tap is funny because it’s so close to reality. Musicians may not find themselves with a cucumber down their trousers or miniature Stonehenge monument on stage but every band has had a Tap moment or two on every tour. …Criterion…

Licence to Kill Blu-ray Disc Review

By brenden ⋅ June 12, 2009 ⋅ One comment

This movie kicks my ass. Timothy Dalton kicks my ass. What was the public thinking back in the 80s, not turning out in droves to support the man in his second outing as super not-so-secret British agent James Bond? How were we not pining for him to return in a third film? How did we end up going from a balls-to-the-wall (minus the Wayne Newton factor) revenge thriller to the more anaemic Brosnan outings? Urgh…Thank M for the coming of the current Daniel Craig era. …Continued…

Valkyrie Blu-ray Disc Review

By brenden ⋅ May 31, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I think I’ve got a lot of Tom Cruise baggage. That must be it. I’m not sure if it’s the scientology, the Nicole Kidman-break-up or the uber-fake, aggressively-jolly persona he puts on for the media but damage has been done to my perception of the man. And that damage, of course, carries over to my desire to see him in films.

So, there I am, holding the Valkyrie Blu-ray in my hand, considering whether it might not be better to pass the disc off to someone else for review, when my roommate storms in, “Is that Valkyrie? Oh, sweeeet! Put it on!” And just like that, it was out of my hands.
