With my status as a cheapskate well established, the Mill Creek Entertainment box sets are pretty much a perfect match for me. This is the second installment of my journey through the “Chilling Classics” collection, which cost $15, which divides out to 30 cents per movie.

It’s too late for a proper review of Sylvester Stallone’s ‘The Expendables’ considering that most of the people who will go see this movie already have. Instead I am going to critique several things that bothered me. Make no mistake I liked The Expendables but there were several things that frustrated me because they could [...]
Recently I found myself sad over the cancellation of the History Channel’s MonsterQuest. It is a delayed reaction but I realized that it left a void that other lesser shows of the same vein like Ghosthunters simply can not fill; the promise of adventure, the possibility of discovery along with opportunity to meet interesting characters.

Film modification isn’t new. For year movies have been edited or tweaked with in post release. Just look at all the director’s cuts available. Avatar is taking this to a new level with the August 27 re-release in theaters which will feature eight additional minutes of footage.

God damn it video game developers, stop making game demos that are multiplayer only.
Let me preface the following rant by saying that I have nothing against games which are multi-player only, games which are multiplayer-centric or even games that just tack on a weak single player mode so they can say they had one. What [...]

Hold on to your hats, this post is going to be a bit more philosophical than most of my posts. Just bear with me.
I’m not great at anything. That’s not me trying to be humble or some kind of self-deprecating humor. That’s just a fact, I’m not great at anything. There are definitely some things [...]
Mill Creek is the anti-Criterion. Founded in 2002, this company specializes in amassing largely forgotten public domain movies and random television shows into DVD box sets sold at bargain basement prices. You can find these collections packed into the checkout aisles and the bargain bins of just about any chain store that carries movies. The [...]
Chew 2: International Flavor is a great follow up to the first installment of the series by Rod Guillory and John Layman. There is always some apprehension when dealing with a bold idea like Chew. Especially one includes poultry bans, vampires and food based superpowers.
Tony gets a “new” partner and sets off on the trail [...]
Do video game movies objectively suck? Certainly I can cough up a half dozen examples for you, but I prefer a little objectivity. Video games, after all, are just another form of adaptation. We’ve been adapting books into movies for about a hundred years now. We’ve been making movies out of [...]
