DVD Review: I Hate Valentine’s Day
The stars of My Big Fat Greek Wedding return for another sappy romantic comedy. And, if that’s not enough to send you away screaming, then let it be known right here and now that I Hate Valentine’s Day could very well go down in history as one of the worst romantic comedies of all time. Not only did Nia Vardalos, the writer and lead actress of that Greek Wedding film, decide that she could once again take on the role of both author and actor, but she also chose to become a director as well. As a result, there was no one to whisper “Psst, act!” while this mess was being filmed, and so Nia just stands there, grinning throughout 95% of the film (even when her character is supposed to be upset), and looking akin to a starving, rabid hyena.

DVD Review: Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures
It only takes the average viewer a few minutes to decide how truly awful Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures is. Actually, “awful” doesn’t even cut it when describing this. Frankly, one word isn’t enough to relay how mind-numbingly atrocious this is. The word “dreadful” comes close, as does the adjective “appalling” — but it’s still hard to pinpoint a single, precise word to warn each and every one of you out there that you should not watch Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures under any circumstances. Yes, even if you are offered the sexual experience of a lifetime, a billion dollars (tax free), your own personal island, or your own Personal Jesus, you should avoid Spaceballs: The Totally Warped Animated Adventures like the dastardly animated plague it really is.

DVD Review: The Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. – The Fifteen Years Later Affair
“You’ve been in this position before?”
“Frequently.”
“Oh, well, how did you get out of it then?”
“I carried an explosive charge in my watch.”
“Where do you carry it now?”
“In my shoe.”
“What did they change it for?”
“Progress.”
Spies were all the rage back in 1983: while Roger Moore was bumbling through his latest 007 escapade, Octopussy, veteran Bond actor Sean Connery returned to the franchise that made him a household name (and that he had also retired from–twice) in the independently-produced James Bond outing, Never Say Never Again. There was also some sort of a Cold War thing going on at the time, too — but the reports on that are completely unfounded.

Blu-ray Review: The Mel Brooks Collection
Here’s a quick quiz for all of you semi-regular comedy film lovers out there that were born prior to 1985…
1. Do you pronounce Frankenstein “Frahnk-en-steen?”
2. Is the Schwartz with you?
3. Does the mere mention of the Spanish Inquisition, springtime, or Hitler prompt you to break out into song and dance?
If you answered “Yes” to one or more of the above questions, then chances are you’ve seen a Mel Brooks film. Or, at the very least, you’re familiar with a Mel Brooks film. Either way, you probably know who Mel is. You might even be a fan. That in itself is good news. Should you be the proud owner of a Blu-ray player (or PS3), then here is some even better news: The Mel Brooks Collection on Blu-ray from Fox Home Entertainment is here.

*Mash-Up* Muse vs Boston: Supermassive Black Feeling
Originally, I was going to go to bed. Then, I started working on a new mash-up. Next thing I knew, all that I had planned to do had gone out the window and I was experimenting with something else. The end result: a union between Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole” and Boston’s “More Than A Feeling” that is just as pointless as the source materials, but just as groovy nonetheless.

Blu-ray Review: The Green Berets
As a wise old nobody probably once said, “War is an all-you-can-eat buffet of hell.” Such a crappy analogy can almost be perceived as true, too — unless John Wayne’s about, of course, in which case the buffet opts to bring out the salad bar and dessert trays as well. And the main course? Ham. Lots and lots of ham. Just look at any old John Wayne war film for confirmation. Bombs go “boom,” guns go “rat-a-tat-tat,” and atrocities are committed all around. In the midst of it all is The Duke running about, making semi-poetic speeches about freedom. Or something along those lines.

Ah, Thailand. Home of LadyBoys, the Bangkok Chess Club, and the beautiful islands of the Andaman Sea. It was from these lush tropical locales that Francisco Scaramanga once tried to take over the world. Fortunately, James Bond was there to stop him. Since then, many other madmen have set their sights on domination, both locally and globally. Most of these loons happen to be filmmakers, who are keen to take advantage of the country’s exotic settings and in-general inexpensiveness by making modestly budgeted direct-to-video motion pictures.

Blu-ray Review: Halloween II (2009): Unrated Director’s Cut
Rob Zombie’s Halloween II had a profound impact on me. It brought forth an emotion that normally only surface when I am either driving on the freeway or standing in line at Wal-Mart: rage. Uncontrollable, barbaric, “Who the fuck told you that you had a knack for making movies?” rage. And yet, when I sat down to write this review, I suddenly found myself at a loss as to what to say to all of you good people out there. All of the appropriate emotions were there (mostly rage), as were all of the words in my limited vocabulary pertaining to such feelings, such as “hate,” “dumb,” “stupid,” “anger,” “kill,” “maim,” and so on. But there was just no simple way of placing any of those said words in conjunction with one another. Finally, in an act of desperation, I settled for stealing a definition straight from the dictionary…
