Gregg Says Jennifer’s Body Was Hot!

Jennifer's BodyJennifer’s body was hot.  Now that I’ve covered all the good points of the film, you’ll notice I was not talking about the movie as a whole there in all its un-italicized glory.  Yes Megan Fox is indeed eye candy and recent interviews quoted her in unhappiness with the self-proclaimed over-glamorizing she endured in both Transformers films. Continue reading ‘Gregg Says Jennifer’s Body Was Hot!’

Brian Gazes At Megan Fox & Finds Jennifer’s Body

Jennifer's BodyLet’s be perfectly honest with ourselves.  The main draw of Jennifer’s Body is Megan Fox’s body.  Oops! I meant to say actress Megan Fox.  Is there really any dispute in the fact?  I, like most moviegoers, was really interested in one thing here.  No, it wasn’t to see what if anything would be shown of Megan Fox’s bangin’ body.  C’mon guys!  Get your perverted minds out of the gutter.

Stephen Fancies An American Werewolf in London Blu-ray Release

An American Werewolf in London Blu-rayIt has been described as one of the most important horror films of all time.  It was made with special effects that would redefine the genre.  Now with the release of An American Werewolf in London on Blu-ray, I look back at what made this film one of the most terrifying of all time and how Hollywood plans to redevelop, once again a horror classic.

Beware of ebay Blu-ray Deals!

an ebay story...I just felt it was my civic duty to pass this story along to all my fellow Blu-ray fans.  So the other day I was shopping on ebay and got the urge to add a little Odette Yustman to my growing Blu-ray collection.  I have been persistently tracking the price of The Unborn Blu-ray for several days now and as luck would have it I decided upon the lowest price I could find for the Blu-ray. Continue reading ‘Beware of ebay Blu-ray Deals!’

Brian Freezes in Kate Beckinsale’s Whiteout

WhiteoutA “whiteout” is defined as a condition of heavily falling or blowing snow in which visibility is very poor.  The same condition must also apply, cinematically speaking, in reference to Kate Beckinsale’s newest thriller Whiteout.  When a movie’s release date has been delayed for over two years that is usually a sign of something bad, or even worse, let’s use a simple synonym such as frightful.

Jon’s Analytical Coverage of Inglorious Basterds

Inglorious BasterdsI wouldn’t exactly say I’m a huge Quentin Tarantino fan.  I think some of the hype about him as a director overlooks the fact that he, just like Martin Scorcese, lifts almost everything he does from other films.  Of course this can turn into a long discussion about the nature of plagiarism and its place in art (see Danger Mouse and Girl Talk) and I really don’t want to go there.
