Tuesday, June 4th, 2012
1986 – I was a Sophmore in High School. I had a regulation pool table in my bedroom. I saw THE COLOR OF MONEY. I watched this film and always paid attention to the placement of the cue upon the ball, the angles they shot, the type of stroke with the cue. I taught myself how to do most every shot in this movie. My mother was dating a Pool Hustler at the time, he’d go into honky tonk bars throughout North Texas, dragging my fat ass in. He’d get blind drunk and bet folks his “idiot redheaded stepchild” could beat them for double or nothing. I never lost. I even was given the nickname RoundTimbers Fats, my Ranch is in a place called Round Timbers. And yeah… We all have films that defined periods of our lives. The films we became obsessed with. Tom Cruise & Paul Newman? Directed by Martin Scorsese? The sequel to the legendary film THE HUSTLER, which I discovered around the time this movie came out. It came out the same year as TOP GUN, which was in turn, the same year that THX started to rock our lobes. Black shirt, levis, plaid overshirt… I remember them well. Playing pool is such an incredibly wonderful feeling. It is one of the number one things I can’t wait to get back to after I’ve left this chair. Don’t forget that John Turturro’s in this! Heh. Fast Eddie Felson is one of my favorite all time cinematic characters. I love him as the brash son of a bitch, and I love him as a guiding force in this. There’s a brilliant updating of his character… showing the scars of the previous film. I didn’t get an advance on this, but I’m picking it up today. Must see the felt of the table. Scorsese did a great job on this flick. So great!
I’ve always loved that John Lennon was a Texas Longhorns supporter in all the poster art for YELLOW SUBMARINE! But more than that, I love this Blu Ray. Here we have a 4K transfer, the original aspect ratio, original mono as well as the whizbangery of the Dolby Stereo version and the 5.1 DTS. There’s a commentary with the art director and producer, there’s special features out its ass. And at the end of the day you have the film looking more vibrant and beautiful than ever. This is the heaven release of this film for me. How many times have I seen this movie. I know most of the dialogue, can sing along with every song and I’ve had animation cels from it my whole life – they hung in my bedroom as a child. I can’t imagine not picking up this wonderful Blu!
One of the greatest films ever made, no shitting. First you have a pitch perfect adaptation of John Steinbeck’s great novel, but then… embodying the soul of Tom Joad, that astonishing everyman voice of Steinbeck’s? Was Henry Fonda, and in this film he looks out of that screen and scratches at your heart, he tears at your cynicism and he places root inside of you a better way of looking at the world. This is who I see when Springsteen sings of his ghost. Every aspect of production is pitch perfect. That’s due to director John Ford, who knew exactly what he was doing and shot it with the amazing eyes of Gregg Toland. I love this movie and this role of Henry Fonda’s so much, that I named one of the early AICN spies after him. Tom Joad, a filmmaking friend of mine that when I first met him, he was attending SXSW and sleeping in his car, while living in Oklahoma… and he bares a resemblance to Henry Fonda’s character. This is one for everyone’s collections. A film I feel all need in their soul.
I love the birth of the 20th Century. The literature, the spirit of the country, the artwork & ideas that led to the pop culture and imagination of the times we live in. 100 years ago, Edgar Rice Burroughs dreamt of something, not too different from what you see in JOHN CARTER. This is an absolutely fantastic film. In terms of pure popcorn awesome, only THE AVENGERS kicks its ass this year. Like many films ahead of their time and beyond their studios true understanding… we’ll have to add JOHN CARTER to those films that the world was not properly prepared, so its success will be a long one. Time will be kind to John Carter – so if you decided to let the negative market watch industry-tards and you stayed away. Give it a chance. If not in its premium format, then through Netflix or however you choose to watch your films. I think you’ll be likely smitten. Andrew Stanton made a helluva film. Generations will love this film. You’ll see. BTW – the BluRay is great, I’ve been waiting patiently with my disc, for the moment Disney’s Second Screen option comes digitally to life so I can watch the film that way. Today is when that option goes live. I’m giddy. The rest of the features on the bluray are outstanding. I’ve devoured them, obviously I’m insatiable upon this particular subject, so yeah, I want even more, but I’ll gladly buy the upgraded version in 5 years when everyone wakes up and sees… OH THAT’S HOW WE DO IT… and the sequel is greenlit. Yes, I currently have a zealot look upon my face.
You may notice – no 3D logo on this BluRay… for a movie originally issued in 3D. That’s because the process of converting the stereoscopic information from the original negative is an ongoing project – that when it is completed – you’ll love the living hell out of this title in the home 3D market. But while that experience is sure to be fucking amazing – HONDO in 2D is still a thoroughly amazing film. Based on a great Louis L’Amour Western Novel – that very much changed the tone of how we saw Indians in a John Wayne picture. John Farrow, who was John’s business partner at the time was directing this, but got double booked, and handed over the picture to some guy named John Ford to wrap up – and part of that “wrap up” is a HUMONGOUS BATTLE SCENE that I just love. This fight is text book how to shoot big Western Action. The way Ford shoots horses, nobody ever gets near to capturing a steed’s power like Ford. Really breathtaking work. Love Ward Bond in this movie – and my favorite special feature I’ve seen on anything ever, is the special feature on Ward Bond on this disc – You see… John Ford, John Wayne and Ward Bond were bar buddies and best pals. Ward Bond was Wayne’s best man and vice versa. You’ll love this story, it’s one of those great behind the scenes stories in film history that helps to inform their character choices and their dynamics in their films. Great to see the energy of that dynamic play out over the ton of features these three made.
Junior year of High School – I wanted to like this movie. I was a giddy Tom Cruise fanboy at that point. I loved the Beach Boys’ KOKOMO, totally drove all over most of North Texas singing that thing – and I scored a 100 harmonizing on that song at Karaoke with TaeKwonDo Instructor & Karaoke demi-god Brandon Toohey. I give him such credit because we managed to harmonize bad enough to perfectly fool the machine into awarding us 100 on a Beach Boys tune. That’s amazing. So watching COCKTAIL today… it’s still all rather silly, but you can’t deny… Tom Cruise looked his very best, Elisabeth Shue is gorgeous here. I like Bryan Brown, Sybok in paradise. Oh – and damn Gina Gershon was in this? Totally forgot that. It really speaks to the era in which it was made. Cruise learned some mad awesome bar skills. It’d be so cool to a 25th Anniversary screening for COCKTAIL with an afterparty that Tom serves at least one round of tricks while doing some crazy Cocktail moves. Do you think Tom retains all the skill sets he shows off in each film? I know that’s why he’s so good in the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise cuz that character acts like the cumulative total of Cruise-ian history. Make no bones about it, it’s a very silly flick to me. But it’s beautifully shot and the BluRay is just beautiful.
The film is intense. The acting is a bit all over the place, but the action is just sit back and wow. Watching professional warrior athelete elites do the action moves… well, this becomes a military fetish film. And that’s totally ok. If you own a movie like this, it means you dig hardcore action films.
I love the Blu-Book format – and with a film as classy and cool as THE STING is – it is just the way to go. First off, George Roy Hill’s classic has never looked better – the exquisite production design is on the finest of displays. On this disc is a look at Universal in the 70s. Talking about THE LOT and restoring the Classics. Along with the great THE ART OF THE STING special feature which features interviews with Newman & Redford. It is a damn shame that these two didn’t make a whole lot more movies together, because their chemistry on screen is just one of those magical movie things.
JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND BluRay
Way better than the first film, still hilariously kiddy. These are modern day, high budget attempts at doing that old Doug McClure genre. Except, instead of pasting fins on lizards, they do state of the art CG to make a totally CG lizard which more or less gives the same effect. Michael Caine is laughing through so much of the movie and I love him for it. Dwayne Johnson’s pec dance of love… truly amazing. That’s just the funniest damn thing in the film.
To me, SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT is one of my Favorite Perfect Movies. You know those films. The one that you love so much that you can’t believe the film is as perfect as it is. Everything about this movie works. Stuntie Hal Needham’s penchant for vehicular insanity is on display, as are Burt’s many talents. The film made Sally Field sexy and forever erased the world’s thoughts of Gidget or The Singing Nun. But the gold mine filled with platinum and unobtanium of the movie is Jackie Gleason’s Buford T Justice. This Texas Sheriff is so perfect. Gleason’s slow burns and reaction shots are just so perfectly comedic bliss that I just can’t stop laughing at everything he does. Paul Williams, Jerry Reed… everybody in this movie is perfect. Love how sexy it still feels. Great stuff.
Marc Forster directed a helluva intense flick about an ex-druggie badguy, turned preacher, turned MACHINE GUN PREACHER and it is a true story. Shit is real. This guy, really did this shit and it’s stunning. There is real scary shit in this world, this is a story about a guy that saw it first hand and felt like, well… not on his watch. Michelle Monaghan plays his wife – and she too, as usual, is simply wonderful. Gerard Butler is on fire in this movie. Definitely worth checking out and I believe owning.
U.S. MARSHALS was that spin-off flick from THE FUGITIVE, that was Tommy Lee Jones’ character going after another high level fugitive – this time, instead of Harrison Ford, it’s Wesley Snipes. This film just didn’t blow me away. And it still doesn’t. There’s some fun to be had, but all parties involved have done better overall work than this.
I can’t seem to remember what I thought of RANSOM. I saw it. I remember watching it, but I seem to have memories that I wasn’t that in love with it. But I’m gonna pick it up to watch again, because I’m curious to see why the film has left my memory. I just ordered it. Curious.
You see that cover. Danny Trejo staring the piss out of ya… baseball bat and a fanny pack. He will kick your ass up and down both sides of the street with that fanny pack, so no smarting off. This is pure exploitation – and God bless! This also features Charles S Dutton. It’s what you want it to be!
Time has been kind to A PERFECT WORLD – when it opened, I remember critics being a bit tough on it locally here in Austin. The film was shot in and around here, but it wasn’t all that beloved. Now, people are rediscovering it. Discovering how good it was. Funny that this is coming out now. This weekend I was chatting with a Prison Guard that worked with Eastwood on this flick and he was telling tales about what a great guy Eastwood was, shooting the shit with the guards. The film is a lot better than folks were giving it credit for back in 1993. Not one of the greatest prison lam movies, but a damn fine one.
Been waiting on this Blu for a while, shit, this thing even has an HD DVD of it out there. But now we BLU addicts can finally get the HD goodness of this fantastic sexy tale. Al Pacino is great in this. Ellen Barkin is crazy great in this, but man I love John Goodman here! Such a great film, if you love sexy thrillers this is one of the very best. Just be prepared to have the song stuck in your head for like a week afterwards!
HOOSIERS is the movie that made me love Basketball. Before that, I was always disappointed that Basketball wasn’t like THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS animated show. I thought bouncing the ball into the basket was a far greater test of talent. Should be a 4-pointer. But then, I watched HOOSIERS. I was living on a ranch at the time. In one of the barns, we had a hoop set up – and the small farming community town in HOOSIERS – it resonated. Our boy basketball team didn’t play that great, but our girl’s team kicked ass regionally. But watching this film taught my eyes how to follow the strategy of Basketball, made me respect the tradition of Basketball. The print is superior to the old HOOSIERS BluRay from about 5 years back if I remember. On my screen, I could see different details and better image quality fairly instantly, but I still feel this could be done even better. I just doubt we’ll see that anytime soon. The best news is – we finally have awesome special features included upon our BluRay, even if they are Standard Def and not HD. The Writer & Director commentary is also nice. As a HOOSIERS fanboy, this is a required purchase.
This is a fantastic film – ideal for Blu Ray. This Cinemascope classic is something new for me. The second I got this, I slipped it into the Blu Ray player. I love adventure films – and this one has a helluva cast and was something of a discovery for me. Herbert Lom just continues to rise in my estimation. Lauren Bacall is amazing. The Rank Collection is doing us an exceptional treat by releasing this on Blu. It is just gorgeous!

THE DARK CRYSTAL / LABYRINTH (Brian Froud Art Edition) BluRay
Just Got Word. There is NOTHING EXTRA about this. Only get it if you want that slipcase or if you don't already have it!!! WARNING! Money Grab.
Details are scarce on this edition. I didn’t get an advance copy, and nobody seems to have seen one yet. The hope would be that there would be an extra special feature or two focusing upon Brian Froud’s artwork… Or a booklet of work, or something. Surely it isn’t just the cover? At the very least, if you’re really stoned and you have this edition, you don’t have to search for the other one. It’s right there. SO convenient. $21 for both titles ain’t bad. If you get yours, before I get mine, let us know if anything extra special is in this set. I just love the movies so much, I have to check it out, if there’s even a chance of something extra.
SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS BluRay
Personally, I love this film. I genuinely enjoy the personalities of all involved. I love Jared Harris’ Moriarty. I really love Stephen Fry’s Mycroft Holmes. I even love Eddie Marsan’s Lestrade. But really, most of the love for this film comes upon the talents of Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. Nobody will ever really replace Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in these roles. But then I saw those repeatedly as a kid… nothing can trump nostalgia. Or the way you discovered something you’d love for the rest of your life. Right now I love that we have the BBC and Ritchie versions of these characters going. They’re getting so great. I find myself daydreaming of the next season and the next feature. It shows how Warners could be doing a Television series and a Film Franchise of its heroes, if the worthy resources were put into the creation of each entity. Now the coolest special feature is the MAXIMUM MOVIE MODE – where Robert Downey Jr takes you through Behind the scenes and the film as the film runs. Robert is hilarious on this. Very entertaining. Great special features.
GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE BluRay
Ghost Rider was one of those characters that Marvel created while I was alive. As soon as I saw GHOST RIDER – I was driven by his amazing character design. It was essentially THE WOLF MAN scenario… but in the silliest way possible. What Taylor and Neveldine did here was create a Biker Exploitation Comic Book Hero flick. For me, the acting is all over the place. Cage isn’t so much as performing, as he’s savoring his own performance. He’s absolutely on that razor edge of sanity as Danny in this 2nd Origin story. If Sony ends up completing their GHOST RIDER trilogy… I hope they go R-rated with someone like Neil Marshall with a hefty budget and complete insane freedom. I hated the first film, but love the second. Personally I prefer the film in its 2D form. The insane shooting of the film, sometimes induced a bit too much vertigo at times. The film is trashy fun. A B-Marvel movie.
It took a bit of time to settle into the animation style on this latest WB Animation, but once all the elements came together, I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Joe Kelly’s writing is what really made this one of the very best Warner Brothers animated features. When you meet THE ELITE – they’re so cool. But where they go and what it does to Superman. This is one to definitely buy. Mainly because you’re going to watch the DARK KNIGHT RETURNS PART 1 featurette for the forthcoming animated 2-part feature adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic. I’m dying in anticipation now. Seriously. It looks so amazing. Overall, one of the best films they’ve done. Really love Manchester Black in SUPERMAN VS THE ELITE. The voice work and animation really create a wonderful character. Such a cool flick.
I was seven when I first saw MEATBALLS, at the Drive-In. Bill Murray became my image of a fucking badass awesome projection of my adult self. I was positive that I wanted to grow up to be an ounce as cool as this character. Bill Murray isn’t just a man doing a job. He’s playing Chess… evaluating his troops – and plotting to Bugs Bunny the competition. Bill Murray just owns the film. Reitman really kind of captures the time and feel of Summer Camp back then. In many ways, this wasn’t far off. The transfer is lovely. Reitman and his Co-Producer do a Commentary, which is quite good.
HAROLD AND MAUDE Criterion Blu
First off… SO FUCKING LOVE THE COVER ART! Clowes rules. But more than that… Just what a perfect transfer! The film has never looked better. This disc is just perfect. As much as I love the funny of HAROLD & MAUDE, it is its melancholy soul that makes this a favorite perfect movie for me. I love watching the film with THE GRADUATE for a crazy notion that they play well together. Start with GRADUATE, then this. It’s perfect. Criterion gives us a good deal of extras. But you should always buy HAROLD AND MAUDE for the movie – and this transfer is divine!
You get both the 1925 and the 1942 versions of Chaplin’s film. GOLD RUSH is one of the very best. The frozen prospecting and survival is just amazing. The starvation sequence is truly inspired. Brilliant gags and just a great great film. The 1925 version… we’ve never seen before. Criterion has resurrected Chaplin’s original cut of the film. A full 17 minutes longer. There’s the longer version out there – with an additional 7 minutes, but it’s only available on PAL DVD. Some day maybe we’ll see that version. We can hope. Here’s the extras they have in store for you….
New high-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural (1942)
Uncompressed monaural soundtrack
New 2K digital transfer of the reconstructed original 1925 silent film
New audio commentary for the 1925 version by Chaplin biographer Jeffrey Vance
Presenting "The Gold Rush," which traces the film's history Music by Charles Chaplin, featuring Timothy Brock
Visual Effects in "The Gold Rush," featuring Craig Barron and Roland Totheroh
Chaplin Today: "The Gold Rush" (2002), a short documentary
Four theatrical trailers
English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired
PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Luc Sante and more!
I remember back in 1994 when SHALLOW GRAVE opened up at the Village here in Austin, and goddamn what a movie. I remember marking Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston and Danny Boyle’s names upon first sight of the film. In many ways it is still my favorite Danny Boyle movie… in the same way that I love BLOOD SIMPLE for the Coens. It’s just when you think about loving those memories and then the joy of discovering everything that Boyle and the Coens did after that moment… it’s sort of like TOY STORY that way. Criterion has done a great job on this Blu.
This is Jesus Franco’s erotica remake of THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME with a Countess Zaroff and everything! This is OUTSTANDING! If you like this kind of exploitation, you’re going to get exactly what you want. This is one of the most… giggle… perverse sick flicks of Franco’s career – and that’s a good thing. Fun stuff!
This is absolutely fantastic. Imagine you’re Alec Guinness on vacation, you meet a Count, that is your exact double. You visit him at his home, where the next day he is gone and everyone believes that regular Alec Guinness is the Count. Kind of a Prince & The Pauper kind of thing. There’s an evil plot and it’s just an awesome film. Bette Davis is great. But OB1 is in fine form here!
Focusing upon Robert Boyle, Henry Bumstead and Albert Nozaki – SOMETHING’S GONNA LIVE tells the story of these three men, who happened to work at PARAMOUNT PICTURES together as three of the greatest Art Directors in film history. As great as the info is on the various movies they made is, what I really love is the story of their friendship. I talked about this title on my show last week, these sorts of Film docs are great. This one’s story is especially emotional and informative!
Ok, this came out my Junior year of High School, so me and all my friends road tripped it to the theater in Wichita Falls. We loved Dolph in his films, but all we knew was that we thought this was a Russian Superhero movie – which was fascinating to us. Watching Ivan Drago in that sort of thing was going to be awesome. But what we got was something quite a bit more than that. This Blu Ray is crazy – because not only is there a great transfer, but there’s a whole lot of extras, including Lundgren kind of going through his entire career leading up to the film – and it’s great! Love this film. It is funky as hell, but it has M. Emmet Walsh! It has Brion James!!!
Next week we will be back with EVITA Blu, SISTER ACT 1&2 Blu, WANDERLUST Blu, PROJECT X Blu, NEWSIES Blu, JEFF WHO LIVES AT HOME Blu, CAT RUN Blu, WILFRED Blu, AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE Criterion Blu, GRAY’S ANATOMY Criterion Blu, THE SPACE CHILDREN Blu, THE COLOSSUS OF NEW YORK Blu, PROJECT X Blu, CARRY ON double bill and much much more!!!

Seriously, for a $250 million movie, I was underwhelmed. Yeah, the visuals and action sequences at times were spectacular, but the movie itself was derivative (granted the source material was original) and all over the place. I didn't care about one character. Sorry Harry, but time will not be kind to this movie. In a few years, it will all but be forgotten by everyone but you and the executives at Disney that lost their jobs because of the major box office bomb this movie turned out to be.

Excellent review of John Carter! This was a wonderful film. I have seen the film on many occasions with both family and friends who absolutely loved it! It was a beautiful story and had an incomparable cast! The characters were all heartwarming and simply delightful. It was just an extremely well made and directed film. A story that you want to go back to time and time again. There is a huge fan base all over the world for John Carter. Don't listen to negative reviews out there. I hope everyone will buy the DVD and give it a look. Then come and go BACK TO BARSOOM with us! We want A John Carter Sequel!

More so for Newman than anything else. There is a much smaller budget film; Poolhall Junkies which I enjoyed a heckuva lot more. There's a speech towards the end by Chris Walken, that just is pure awesome.

Well, I know one "Southern" staple for odd sandwiches was peanut butter & banana on wheatbread...which sounds perfectly fine except for the mayonnaise slathered on each piece of bread as the primary condiment. A "diablo" sandwich is apparently a home-made version of a hot-pocket except without pizza stuff inside (or melted cheese and ham bits). A friend pulled the "It just doesn't matter!" bit from Meatballs in his highschool class president run (this is years ago) - he had friends placed strategically thoughout the audience and had them pre-arrange starting the audience chorus. And, per him, it worked...well, he didn't win the election but he did have the entire highschool cafeteria, filled with students, all chanting "It just doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter!"...even if it's not entirely true, it still paints a wonderfully hilarious picture.

I gotta love that Harry goes down swinging, still gushing about John Carter and Ghost Rider, two of the biggest bombs (Battleship aside) so far this year.

You can't start or continue a franchise for films that no one wanted to see. Sure John Carter looked great. 250 million dollars buys you great production value, when you have a relative no-name cast. It has become the Ishtar of genre films.

I know what you're talking about. Little Rascals High sign.

but one reason it deserves to be appreciated is that its based on a fucking amazing classic. The movie is not perfect. But it's great, a lot of fun. And those brilliant old literary works that Mr Burroughs gave us deserves the cinematic nod. Hell, the likes of Burroughs and Wells influenced some of what cinema is today. The critics just tossing this all aside the way they did is thoroughly ignorant. Fuck them.

That I am preaty sure are never coming out on blu ray. I'll stop in at Big Lots from time to time and find stuff (like Carpenter's 1978 tv movie Someone's Watching Me) that's really cheap and fits the bill. One thing I will never buy are those Movie on Demand DVRs that Warner is putting out for 20 bucks a pop. They have zero extras and are DVRs.

Another Color of Money bluray review that mentions the terrible image quality
by Samuel Fulmer
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Color-of-Money-Blu-ray/39675/#Review
-
After the intial one was lambasted for looking god awful, so who knows, maybe they'll do a new one for Color of Money. I think every film put on blu ray deserves a decent transfer so I'm not going to say hey Color Of Money deserves it more than so and so subpar film, but it is kind of shocking considering it was the film Newman won an Oscar for, it also stars Tom Cruise, and it's directed by Scorsese.
-
I know I mentioned this earlier but you're such a homo.
-
come on DC get to it
-
Thanks for using periods, & I don't mean that sarcastically. Much easier to read. SPOILER - You liked Machine Gun Preacher? Wow. It actually started well, but was a huge mess by the second half. It didn't know what tone to take, or how to present Gerard's character. He starts out as a scumbag, arcs toward hero, then tragic hero, then reverts suddenly back to scumbag not towards the end but at the middle. Gerard's performance - and accent - was all over the place.
-
I thought John Carter (of Mars) was actually a really great flick. Old fashioned, absolutely, but I think it was intentionally created as a throwback to classic fantasy/sci-fi B-movies of the past like Harryhausen's Jason and the Argonauts, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the original Star Wars, and the old Flash Gordon serials. Although it cost a ton to make and utilizes current state of the art CGI special effects, it really is not a "modern" film: there's no sex, no profanities, and really only pretty tame "violence" for a movie about a warlord of Mars. This is not a Michael Bay, ADD edited, 'splosion fest. If you're still not convinced give it a rent at the local Redbox and turn down the color on your shiny new HDTV and watch JCM in black and white. Unlike other spfx heavy films, it works great in B&W and actually allows the viewer to focus on the characters and story of this old fashioned, and dare I say it--swashbuckling--pulp-epic adventure film rather than the bloody media circus over the budget or lack of marketing by the Disney corp! Rather than another mindless, heartless, lowest common denominator, big budget, empty headed spectacle based on the latest video or board game or a sequel/prequel/remake/reboot of some 20 or 30 year old movie or film series, I see JCM as akin to the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's modern-retro film adaptations of Call of Cthulhu and The Whisperer in Darkness, albeit on a much, much bigger budget. Though it may never make back it's budget, I think JCM will gain a fan following in the years to come as more people finally discover it on home video formats...and maybe we'll eventually even get a sequel in a couple years. Roll on Gods of Mars!

Much better. Now stop saying "really kind of", Harry. That's weak writing.

...was the lead. I don't know who this Taylor Kitsch guy is, but he could barely emote in this role. No gravitas, no emotion...it takes more than a furrowed brow to act. The irony was that everyone else in the film easily overshadowed him in acting....even the CGI characters. The guy was positively wooden...not a good thing when a $250 million movie with an unfamiliar character name as a title rests on your shoulders. Reminded me more of Sam Jones in FLASH GORDON!

JOHN CARTER is "good", but after some editing could be "great"
by Monroville
Frankly, they should have started with Edgar Rice Burroughs arriving at the house and him reading (and imagining) the transcripts. I could also see cutting out the following "exposition" scene (with the Princess looking at the camera, mimicking Virginia Madsen's DUNE monologue) and just following Carter's capture and arrival at the green alien's encampment. Even so, once we got to mars, the movie had a good pace, good action, no one (that I remember) did anything out of character or stupid ("cough, cough Prometheus) to move the story along... overall it was a really fun time. But.... I will admit that those first 10 to 20 minutes almost killed the movie for me. I understand setting up a story and all, but jesus christ I have a brain! I can figure this stuff out through the course of the story you know.

Such a great sci-fi adventure film. Americans are simply too stupid to like movies like this these days. It needs to have relevant jokes about rap stars or youtube videos. Pathetic. I loved the movie and I will probably go buy the blu ray today.

Too many people were just too ready to hate on it.

END QUOTE Would I have preferred someone a little older with a bit more Errol Flynn/Han Solo/Indiana Jones swagger as John Carter? Absolutely--I personally think Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) would have done an outstanding job in the role if the film was made a few years ago. I think there may also be a bit of the Leonardo DiCaprio Hater effect going on here. Let's admit it--Taylor Kitsch is a pretty good looking guy and the average 18-34 male movie goer doesn't necessarily want to pay money to watch a half naked male model/actor jumping around on another planet for two hours (some may though, not that there's anything wrong with that!). That said, I think Taylor Kitsch did a fine job as John Carter but he was simply outshined by Lynn Collins as the incredibly hot and intelligent princess/scientist Dejah Thoris. This wouldn't be a problem EXCEPT for the fact that the film was titled the blandly non-descriptive "John Carter" rather than "A Princess of Mars" or "John Carter and the Princess of Mars"--nice and descriptive AND pulpy, that one, eh?
-
Isn't that the movie Jack Abramoff financed with help from the South African apartheid government? No, I don't think I'll be buying that one.
-
He was outshined by everyone in the cast! Ciarin Hinds, Mark Strong, Dominic West...and yes, Lynn Collins (who should be considered for the role of WONDER WOMAN if they ever get that going). Taylor Kitsch just did not measure up to the acting chops. (And the ads should have mentioned something like "From Edgar Rice Burroughs, Creator of TARZAN"). Not knocking the film...I've purchased the 3D Blu-Ray. They just needed a lead with the ability to connect/communicate with the audience and Kitsch's non-performance left me dumbfounded

Sam Fulmer, Agreed. I want to buy the 60's Ron Ely "Tarzan" series, but Waners split Season One into two parts and is asking $50 per Vol. for DVD-Rs!!!!
by The Reluctant Austinite
I grew up watching the Ron Ely "Tarzan" series, and always wished someone would release it on DVD. The Warner Archive has finally seen fit to make it available via burn-on-demand DVD-R, but they had the brass balls to split up Season One into two volumes and charge $50 per voulme! They can kiss my Reluctant Ass! No extras. No cool packaging. They're not even remastered, and they want $100 to press the record button and send me a copy? I recently bought TWO SEASONS of the original "Lone Ranger" for $20. They came in some of the coolest packaging ever created. They came with a comic book reproduction and a ton of Lone Ranger Fan Club stuff. Plus a disc of bonus extras and cartoon episodes. These were all on professionally pressed DVDs. So I have a pretty poor outlook at the Warner Archive right now. They made it much easier and cheaper on themselves, and the they bypassed the middle man, and they're going to charge $100 a Season for an obscure show? This is also compunded by the fact that I tried to buy the movie, "Drive-In," from their Sony burn-on-demand buddies a month ago and they managed to burn the completely wrong movie on the disc. I had to return it three weeks ago and still have not gotten a refund or replacement.
-
It's about as Classic as Dune is considered now in other words it will not be one. It's a pretty average and at times problematic film. With a lead as charmless as Kitsch I could barely tolerate this film let alone seeing it become a classic.
-
...and that's saying a lot. Definitely the worst Beach Boys song ever. It proved just how much that formerly great band had fallen into suckiness since their Pet Sounds days. Have you ever seen footage of them trying to perform in the 80's or anytime since? Embarrassingly bad. Plus, Kokomo was written by pedophile John Phillips. He raped his daughter for years. No one with any semblance of taste liked that song when it came out.

J Carter didnt have a chance. Disney Marketing ruined it
by clancy021061
Something about the entire promotion of this thing just STUNK of Disney suit marketing robots not giving a rats ass about anything but demographics and selling crap to go with it. Crap at least Lucas sort of cares about Star Wars to some degree. Maybe. They dont realize, or dont care that most of the world thinks of them as the ultimate marketing whores and this was a SHINING example of Greedy Mike Eisner type money grubbing. Harrys hype up didnt help either. That was an obvious "bribe the big guy with toys and donuts situation."

The # 1 reason John Carter will not be remembered fondly.
by knowthyself
Too many people are proclaiming it as such before it has a chance to happen on it's own. A cult classic or classic is never "announced" it just happens. Rocketeer and Dark City were not hailed as soon to be timeless hits when released it happened on it's own. The mere fact that fanboys are trying to throw John Carter on that pile just to make up for the aboslutely abyssmal box office reeks of desperation. JC is going to be as timeless as Dune. Which means not at all.
-

You realize Stanton had full control of ads, trailers, and psoters right?
by knowthyself
He is responsible for the horrid ad campaign not disney.

Dune might not be considered a beloved film classic by the majority of film critics, but I'm sure many fans of David Lynch's adaptation (including myself) would argue that it's surely earned a reputation almost 30 years later as a flawed albeit cult classic, especially when one compares it to the more recent Sci-Fi Channel adaptation. Proclaiming a new film like JCM a cult classic surely doesn't make it so, but announcing that it definitely won't be one doesn't make much sense either does it? Only time will tell. All that said, Dune was a box office bomb and I love that film with a passion, warts and all.
-
What's in store for Stanton? Wall-E 2?
-
Share many of the same flaws. They both open with expository background information. Breaking instantly the rule of SHOW don't TELL. I appreciate Dune as a strange part of Lynch's filmography. But in the end most of it is corn ball and tough to watch. Sting's performance is embarassing to sit through.
-
The comparisons are solid. Both are likeable enough, and earnest. Both are ambitious, well-meaning bombs that do not come close to touching the greatness of the literary works that inspired them. I do think Lynch was more brave with film language in his admirable attempt to capture the vernacular of the book (is there another film that uses 6-8 separate character voice-overs?). Lynch was also trying to do something beyond the scope of his budget and the technology of the day. Stanton had all the money he could possibly need, and the tech to deliver the goods. He strayed deliberately from a text he thought was above or at least equal to (thus creating all the narrative/character problems people have mentioned above). These films will end up in the same place for different reasons. With luck, though, they will both have served valuable roles in preparing the eventual cinematic masterpieces that could come from those two landmark works of sci-fi literature.

The Dune/Carter analogy is appropriate. In fact when then "princess of Mars" faces the camera and mentions Barsoom, I was taken back
by openthepodbaydoorshal
to the credit sequence of Dune with Viginia Madsen explaining the planets and spice and all that exposition.
-
John Carter were anywhere near the stinking pile of shit Dune is. John Carter is a damn good flick. Dune is idiosyncratic, but awful and hard to sit through. And I say that as a Lynch fan who's seen and loved Inland Empire a couple times.

...the bs that knowles expects us to believe. First (probably not in the pantheon of Knowles bs) he expects us to believe that he used to be a champion diver.

In all honesty, the movies that "John Carter of Mars" reminded most of was "Conan the Barbarian" by way of "Star Wars." Just a great, pulpy feel to the dialouge and situations.

John Carter was an absolute bore to watch. Everything has been done better before. I know it is a story that dates back over a hundred years ago, but it was just very uninteresting.

Comparing Andrew Stanton and David Lynch is like comparing an illustrator and a genuine artist.
by openthepodbaydoorshal
Say what a narrative mess Dune is, the production design, which you know Lynch had a hand in, was a marvel. Both films do share a lead with as much charisma as a beige washcloth.
-
is an abomination
-
for a Martin Scorsese, it's a bore
-
that overrated Scorsese 3-D crapfest that is Hugo. Maybe the most disappointing thing he's ever made, and accoding to box office mojo about on par with John Carter in being a box office flop, but it gets a pass due to critics blinded by nostaglia for the silent film era, pretty visuals, and the name Scorsese.
-
But the opening is a mess of exposition and nonsense. (I don't want to fight, so I'll fight you all to avoid fighting!) And the ending is HORRRRIBLE. The bad guys win. If Mark Strong can orchestrate 3 different times when the princess was going to die in THREE DAYS, imagine how many times he could kill her in THE NEXT TEN YEARS. because JC leaves her alone with him for a full decade. And they'll never have a sequel to tie it up. It's like if Star Wars ended with Luke's hand chopped off and they just ended the story there forever.

Hugo is an amazing piece of film making. It definitely isn't for everyone. That 3D experience still ranks as the best I have had in a movie theater. It is a very character driven move. Hope you like it.
-
errr no, he didn't have a full sized pool table in his bedroom. Do you know how big a full-sized pool table is? Can you imagine the size of the bed that had to be required to house Knowles' girth? That wouldn't even leave enough room to house Knowles' stash of Ho Hos in a mansion-sized bedroom. I like Knowles but what tics me off is that he can't help himself. Every thing he writes has to be injected with more than a little bit of fantasy and self-aggrandizing bs when a simple review would not only suffice but be welcome and informative. Impulse control Knowles! It'll help you with your health and your profession. peace

Grade 10 is sophOmore, big fella! I teach HS, I have to teach those little turds every year how to spell it right. Invest in spell check! On the lighter side, thanks for the reviews! I really dug John Carter, and so did my Sophomore-age son.

Ghost Rider Harry, come on there's no defense for that turd
-
Was 9000 sq ft. My Bedroom had an enormous accordian divider that I always had opened - so my bedroom had it's own fireplace, living room, bathroom area. A larger space than the house I rent currently. And yes, it was a full on regulation pool table. My friends and I would play endless games upon it. And no, Herc and I have never had the conversation about my Pool Hustling Step Father & the Ranch. We usually talk film, comics and geek subjects.
-
"John Carter" was hurt by marketing and the fact Disney was taking a gamble on a story that has been told and inspired in other films and books. The film was ok. I liked the Tarks, Woolie, the princess and special effects, but thats it. Speaking of Dune, maybe Disney/Stanton shouldve gotten the rights and done the remake to that, instead... Hugo was huge disappointment. Without question, i think it's Marty's worst film. However, i would like to see Marty direct a science fiction film. I think that would be an interesting genre for him to try. Im curious to see, Machine Gun Preacher.
-
The hilarity of hearing (or reading) an American use the word fanny never tires. Especially when it is a fanny pack in question being worn by a bad arse dude like that. I just expect him to open it and pull out some tampons and femfresh.
-
is infinitely more believable than Harry's numerous love triangle stories.
-
Finally... been waiting for this one since it was first announced for blu years ago then mysteriously cancelled. Must have been music rights issues or the like. Worth the wait as it is the best Summer camp movie ever made. Murray is fantastic and the whole thing is just a blast to experience time and again. Reitman and Murray's first film as director and star. It was the first of greats to come like Stripes and Ghostbusters. For a 1979 film, it holds up very well just like Bad News Bears 1976... never grow tired of either film.
-
I look at it as a career low for all involved. Honestly I would watch Cruise in Cocktail, where he is at his most charming, than COM. Newman is alright in bringing back the character, but it's far below that first film. Kinda like watching Depp bring back Captain Jack yet again. For Scorsese, the film is quite subdued and stands out from almost all his other work as a rather pedestrian directing assignment. Almost like he took the guaranteed big hit in order to save his career at that point.
-
Give it a rest Knowles! You spin so much nonsense on such a regular basis that if you said you had a wonderful canine companion (you probably have already said this) when you were a lad a lot of people probably wouldn't believe you. Because you would try to paint the experience of having a wonderful canine companion into something glorious that others were not privy to and then try to connect that sentiment to some random film that you are reviewing. You're a bs artist but not a good one. The best bs artists know that they need to give it a rest from time to time. All I'm saying man is that it's not necessary and is really beneath the real, wonderful events that life has afforded you. peace

I love the movie. It's one of those movies that if it's on, I watch it. I think the ending could be better, but it's a solid movie. Pacino and Goodman are great together and the scene with the Yankee breakfast is great. An underrated NYC cop movie.

Until Avengers of course. Huge GR fan. I saw it on my birthday, empty matinee save for two young Hispanic girls ditching class. I sat in the front and pretended that I was alone. Man this was sooooooo much better than the 1st. Which I kinda like, but only because it was a movie with Fucking Ghost Rider in it. Nic Cage is full blown insane in this one folks and it just works. The look of the Ghost Rider is amazing and probably where the budget went. This is totally a B pic, but I like it in that realm, it belongs there. More please.

This gave me a feeling of unease and mild distress when I saw it as a 6 yr old. Glad to see Harold and Maude is getting transfer respect. Great movie. Made me cry like an emo.

(Action movie-wise, I mean. Obviously "The Sting" is going to win any race for overall Best Picture oscar.) In most other places it's called "North West Frontier". The director was the same guy who later made "Guns of Navaronne". (In fact it was apparently this film which landed him that later gig.) Some regard it as a reboot of "Stagecoach" (Ford's son Patrick has one of the writing credits), but IMHO it stands on its own merits, with a terrific opening sequence where (after the initial narration) not a word is said for something like fifteen or twenty minutes, and afterwards keeps firing away on all cylinders right up to the end (including one jaw-dropping shot near the end where the camera sweeps across the path of a speeding train). The only real letdown is the day-for-night photography. Otherwise, as Harry said the cast is great and it makes great use of the wide screen format. (In fact it's pretty much the only way to see this film. There's a pan-and-scan version I've watched on TV which manages to affect the significance of a key scene because it has cut off too much at the sides!)
-
The more I hear about Harry's life the more it sounds like something only a screenwriter could possibly dream come up. A screenwriter with a script he can't sell because studio suits keep saying to him "Nobody's going to believe this stuff"!
-
There are NO EXTRAS AT ALL on this, unless you count a trailer for John Carter - I preordered this hoping for something...the video quality is nothing special either
-
I cannot fucking WAIT. Nice. And Yes, John Carter WAS good. It was just marketed badly. The conversion 3d bugged me, but beyond that... I loved it.
-
He blew his mind out in a car.
-
Only got to see it twice, second time being last showing, before it out of cinemas, only lasted 3 weeks max! Wanted to see it like that once or twice more. Best fantasy Adventure film in cinemas for years, and there have been a few that i have loved but JC took the cake. Awesome alternative world pulp technology, creatures, cultures, mystical beings, far flung meta-physics, gobbly gook, all seamlessly inter-woven, stunning sets and 3d integration, an absolute Fantasy Adventure feast. Oh and a hot Princess!

Yeah but it wasn't that he didn't notice the light had changed. It was raining and the girl went fan crazy on him while he was driving. She got out. He was trapped.

We have been raking Harry over the coals for a long time about how he has a personal story for just about every old movie, and he has embraced the schtick. And I love it. Unless he shows us a picture of a young Harry in a period bedroom with a pool table in it. In which case, I'll probably be a little disappointed.

So I'm picturing your bedroom like Eric Bates' bedroom in The Toy. That mother was huge. And if your bedroom was like that I surely hope you had friends over, dressed them in Spider-Man pajamas, and then dumped oatmeal on their heads as they walked in the door.

"There’s the longer version out there – with an additional 7 minutes, but it’s only available on PAL DVD. Some day maybe we’ll see that version." You mean to tell me the great Harry Knowles doesn't have a region free dvd player that'll convert PAL to NTSC on the fly?! As a fan of domestic and foreign film, I found owning such a dvd player to be a must-have very early on.

I'm watching this shit right now. Can't believe aicn hasn't reviewed it. Best anime ever made is being re-done and no one knows about it. Fucking fuck. And I actually liked battleship more than both avengers and John carter.

Hey Harry, When you saw Top Gun did you teach yourself to fly fighter planes by paying attention to the instrument panel and flight-stick placement? I bet that you just happened to have a spare F-14 in the garage and used it to become a hot shot naval pilot. What was your call sign...Fibber?
-
actually my bedroom was about the size of a pool table. That's the price of being poor and British. John Phillips was not a paedophile. His daughter was 19 at the time of the alleged rape (the accusation of which he was not alive to defend). "Kokomo" is a terrible song though. Cocktail was also a terrible film. I worked at a cinema when it came out, so was forced to endure it a few times. It's not nearly as bad as Sister Act though - a one-joke film (and the joke's not funny).

I used to like him when I thought he was a crazy adult. Now he just seems like an annoying kid. Where the fuck is creepythinman?

JAWS was the first. At the time the entire MCA Discovision catalog was about 50 titles. By the way, I found some of those catalogs from 1980 and those movies were between $25 and $40. Adjusted for inflation, that's $65-104 in todays dollars. Blu-Ray is a bargain.

-
A couple reasons: 1. Because it is a REMAKE of an old 1956 Glenn Ford film titled RANSOM! 2. (Major Spoiler) Because, even though it is an updated telling of the same story with many deviations from the original, what separated the original from all other hostage-for-money stories was the father's wicked turn from trying to pay the Ransom to get his son back to making the Ransom a bounty on the heads of the abductors! 3. Ron Howard was behind it. My only problem with this movie? No release of the original. In fact, what is hollywood's problem with Glenn Ford? He was a top box office draw in the 1950's, and his films TO THIS DAY do not get the attention of many of the stars of his day. He was star of MANY great films that I've had to dig for in order to get digital copies: 3:10 to Yuma (Yep, his was the original if you didn't already know) The Fastest Gun Alive (and he was the fastest in Hollywood in his day) Jubal Heaven with a Gun Day of the Evil Gun Cimarron Blackboard Jungle Courtship of Eddie's Father Torpedo Run The list goes on and on...
-
When Harry was growing up, his mother was institutionalized for believing that the world would end in a nuclear war instigated by an AI called SkyNet. He was raised on the run (not literally running, of course), and earned the name Fats Connor, leader of the resistance that would be waged from the couches and fast food shacks across the nation. So yeah, Terminator is really meaningful to him, much more personal than to anyone else who has seen it.

The average square footage of a ranch style home is, at the top end, 2500 square feet, but Harry's family ranch home is 9000 SQUARE FEET!! The man must be delusional.
by openthepodbaydoorshal

...there is a 9000 square foot home for sale in my area. It's only $3.5 million. It may be a step down for you since it doesn't have any regulation size pool tables in the bedrooms.

If the house was as wide as a football field it would only have to be 30 feet deep! That isn't that big is it?

I am assuming that you are a Beatles fan. Regardless of age, I refuse to believe that any Beatles fan is not aware of the "Paul is dead" conspiracy. It might be just a little unbelievable that you came up with a theory by yourself that just so happens to mirror another theory that has been around for almost half a century. You saying that you came to this conclusion all on your own is just as believable as Harry saying that he was a pool hustling ladies man with his own apartment sized room. Actually, I believe Harry and not you.
-
How dumb does anyone have to be to accept this kind of shit as fact? .
-
PLASTIC SURGERY! Why and how else besides the shitload of money he has is he getting young hot pussy? Being who he is, there are expectations and he's required to look at least better than a guy past 65... Not real hard to figure out... Ok, smart guy... who shot JFK?

zodlovesmaude: what's the first thing people say when you say Paul looks different? They say he must have had plastic surgery. Now what did I tell you? I told you
by UltraTron
that his alterations are beyond all science and technology because his skull is severely modified in areas that are impossible to modify. Areas that amount to a full set of fingerprints. Read, study, seek! This doesn't require much. This isn't trying to find the hi-jackers. Watch whatever hd video you can of him before 66. Why would he have his long eyelashes removed just a year later. How could he have done the Jude law height adjustment thing from Gattica so fast? How could he make his eyes closer together and reshape his skull? His eye sockets and eye positions would have to be changed. Impossible tech that maybe even aliens don't possess. But guess what zod? You believe in these amazing, fantastic plastic surgery techniques that could not have happened. You are saying even wackier things than I am. Get it. So now ya got your homework. Go. Go look for yourself.

Yes, unfortunately I wasted 90 mins watching some leaked copy of the Film. (despite the fact that everyone who have seen GRSOV,told me to avoid it at all costs.) I watched it out of curiosity and the fact that I was a fan of the 90's Comics to some extent. The movie took a somewhat darker tone which is a good thing for the character's concept, but the overall story and execution was god awful even Elba's role as the Child's protector couldn't save GRSOV's many flaws. What's sad, it that it had potentual but it became a bit too chlched (Citing: Blaze's "cure" of Zarathos only to merge back into the Demon.) and not to mention that there was no cartharsis or closure for a film that will not garner another sequel. At least Nolan's DK trilogy (Also written by GR's David Goyer) will have a sense of closure only for some new Director to reboot the Batman franchise. Ghost Rider deserves a reboot as long as it's within the right hands. Two Punisher rebbots and they still couldn't actually get it right. But then again, it's Lionsgate.

Is the 5.1 sound on the new Yellow Submarine disc the same as the old one? George Martin did the DVD mix not too long ago, so I'd think it was fine.
-
BTW, let's hope that Retaliation gets a complete overhaul (i.e. better story, dialog and set pieces.) as the reception from a few screenings fell below expectations. The "3D" angle was just a smoke screen/ruse for how bad Hasbro/MGM/Paramount fucked up. How they passed on F.Gary Gray as Director is beyond me. oh wellz, time will tell.
-
The rephrased press release Harry spouted is bullshit. Give me a good telecine of both eye views and I can cook up the stereo version in my lab. If I can do it, they can do it. They never did on DVD (active or anaglyph), although Dimension 3 did make an anaglyph for TV airing. I wouldn't hold my breath for a BD3D.

-I loved John Carter in the cinema. No, it wasn't perfect, but it believed in itself at least, and for the running time I wasn't aware of being in the cinema watching it, I was absorbed in the film - a talent that may other movies these days sadly lack. I really do wonder how many people who ragged on it actually watched it? And then, the whole way through? -Smokey and the Bandit is a severely fucking great movie!! People may laugh, but the pairing of Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason made for some utterly brilliant comedy!! Smokey and the Bandit 2 is also really good (but more comic-book in its humour, and a lot more vulgar humour - which is still very funny by the way!!). Number 3 sucked, but thankfuly there's always The Cannonball Run, and the late great Dom Deluise!!
