Special features better than actual movie on Invention of Lying DVD
Tweet It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Ricky Gervais. From the original version of The Office to his uniquely hilarious turn hosting the Golden Globes this year to his incredibly funny podcasts with writing partner Stephen Merchant and round-headed friend Karl Pilkington, Gervais has proven to be a comedic master. His directorial debut The Invention of Lying hit DVD and Blu-ray this week and I was eager to get my hands on a copy to check out the special features. … Read entire article »

Heroes season 3 DVD an essential for fans

Since then, I’ve not only watched all the episodes on Netflix, but even caved and bought the first three seasons on DVD. … Read entire article »

Vintage Trashwire – The Room is the Citizen Kane of crap
Tweet At Trashwire, we love bad movies. Bad acting, bad direction, bad costumes, bad music; all these elements are important in creating a work of true cinema trash. While there are some bad movies that are just a cut above the rest, Showgirls comes to mind, there is one movie that I can safely declare as the best bad movie ever produced. Writer, director, actor and producer Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 classic The Room has every element necessary for a truly terrible film. The script is worse than something a 14 year-old would write, the acting is atrocious, the music is ghastly and dated, the cinematography could have been done by Stevie Wonder, and the love scenes are practically vomit-inducing. In other words, this film is sheer perfection of awfulness. The main character is … Read entire article »

December 9th, 2008 | 11 Comments
Tweet For years now, I have been quite the DVD commentary enthusiast. It all began with the infamous drunken commentary track on the Cannibal: The Musical DVD featuring intoxicatingly funny conversation from very intoxicated stars Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Dian Bachar, Jason McHugh, and Andy Kemler. That track showed that DVD commentary can be more than just describing the behind-the-scenes process of each shot. Commentary tracks can be genuinely “special” features… if filmmakers use them to their full potential. … Read entire article »
