RIP: A Remix Manifesto DVD review

Aside from the enlightenment I experienced watching the documentary RIP: A Remix Manifesto, I realized how tragic it is that I don’t have the opportunity to review more independently produced films.

Guillermo Del Toro’s The Strain book review

It shocks me that Guillermo Del Toro had the time to work on a trilogy of horror novels, with The Hobbit 1 and 2, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Drood and many other filmed projects on his agenda. While reading this first novel in the series, The Strain, I found out that it was originally ….

Revolutionary Road Blu-ray review

Director Sam Mendes works from screenwriter Justin Haythe’s adaptation of Richard Yates’s 1961 novel, to create another stunning work of suburban angst and dissatisfaction with marital conformity with Revolutionary Road.

The Best of Star Trek The Original Series DVD review

This “best of” DVD from Paramount, reminds me of the many “best of” audio CDs that come out for many classic rock and jazz musicians. There’s never enough music on the disc, and there are so many great episodes of the iconic sci-fi TV series that could easily bear the title “best of”. I don’t ….
