Go Gonzo With ‘The Rum Diary’

In the 1998 Terry Gilliam film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which has Johnny Depp playing one of the various incarnations of writer Hunter S. Thompson, you could use many different adjectives and phrases to describe it, but a decidedly fun romp is not the one I would immediately jump to.  With The Rum [...]

Battle: Los Angeles (Blu-ray Review)

Much like my Blu-ray review of last year’s Burlesque (see here), I know I’m going to get bashed here.  For some reason, the critics didn’t receive Battle: Los Angeles too well.  Well la deed da.  What the f#$k do they know?  I guess they are all dead inside and truly don’t know how to have [...]

Are you ready for me yet?  Please press record on the tape deck for me.  Thanks!  Are we on?  Okay, good!  My name is Brian White and I wanted to go on record by saying that Battle: Los Angeles has been my most anticipated film this year ever since I saw the panel at last [...]

Follow The “Rabbit Hole” On Blu-ray

Lionsgate presents one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2010  in the Rabbit Hole starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart.  The film is directed by John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch). I’m a big fan of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, but  have a feeling that Rabbit Hole will be a complete [...]

Comic-Con 2010: ‘Battle: Los Angeles’

After getting into Hall H Thursday morning just in time to catch the Salt panel, I stuck around for Battle: Los Angeles, a film I knew absolutely nothing about.  However, I’m glad I stuck around as the trailer and clips shown for the film were absolutely bombastic and riveting.  I’m adding this to my list [...]
