The proper final post for the Top 250 Tuesday introduction is up, and can be viewed here. And again, my apologies for the mixup and for filling up your inboxes today. read more

Okay, I admit it. I’ve yet to sit all the way through any of the Lord of the Rings movies. And considering what I heard about the first Hobbit movie I doubt that that’s likely to change with this one. Probably someday when this trilogy is wrapped up I’ll sit down with all of them a read more

I’ve been waiting not-so-patiently until they put this trailer up (which I actually got to see last week in front of the wonderful Francis Ha) to post about the next series of Weekend Classics at the always-terrific Belcourt Theatre. Starting June 29th and running through July 14th, it’s read more

It appears that June is turning out to be a great time to go ahead and spring for some of those disks you’ve had on your Amazon Wish List or however else you keep track of those movies you’ve been keeping an eye on. From Amazon’s 50% off Criterion deals to the Warner Archives 5 dis read more

Okay, let me just get it out of the way and say up front that I was not a fan of last year’s Dredd. Maybe it’s because I’d already been spoiled by the outrageous humor of Attack the Block and the incredible over-the-top action of The Raid: Redemption, but by the time the adaptation read more

I’m a little late with this, but, as the saying goes… Plus, since it’s going to be an ongoing thing trough Labor Day, it’s definitely still relevant. First, just a wee bit of background for those unaware: For quite a while now, the good folk over at the Criterion Collection h read more

Richard Wagner (Photo credit: Wikipedia) What better way to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest composers of all time than with a silent film?
