Yes, we know this is not the entire Coen Brothers collection, and yes, we know there are some big-time movies missing (emphasis on "big-time"), but still it's the Coen's and even a Lebowski-less collection is something we want stored in our entertainment unit ASAP. Besides the awesome cover art, you'll get Blu-ray ... continue reading
"Special Editions" of movies that are already out on DVD are rarely worth the purchase if you already own the regular copy. There are however a few exceptions where we will add the new Special Edition version to our Amazon cart the day it is released. They could change the cover art to The Big Lebowski and do nothing ... continue reading
For a no-frills flask that's perfect to toss in your bag when you're out camping or exploring, turn to Stanley. The classic brand has been crafting solid, well-made food and drink gear since 1913. Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
We can count on one hand the amount of stereotypically great movies that Rutger Hauer has been in, but it would take more fingers and toes than any normal human being has to count all of the awesomely bad (in a good way) films he's graced with his presence. Now he's taking on 70s style grindhouse cinema as a hobo with, ... continue reading
Occasionally there will be a movie that we will want to see without needing a clue of what the plot is about. Is it directed by Quentin Tarantino? We're there. NC-17 rating? Yeah, we'll give it a shot. Is it an action/adventure that stars a bunch of hot chicks? Pass the popcorn. Sucker Punch would fall ... continue reading
There aren't a ton of modern day rock bands that warrant a candid documentary of their career. You go back a few decades and you could rattle off plenty of them but nowadays can you honestly say you want to sit through two hours on the history of Nickelback or Stone Sour? Of the handful we'd be interested in, Foo ... continue reading
They say to never judge a book by its cover, but if you're telling me that if you didn't know a thing about the movie True Grit (say you were born yesterday and progressed rapidly in age) you still wouldn't immediately purchase this Blu-Ray/DVD Combo pack based solely on the cover, well then you sir are a liar (or ... continue reading
We'll admit that this Fanhattan app is far better than the Fanhattan app we dreamt up - one that shows you all the touristy spots in NYC - and unlike ours it happens to be free (we were planning on charging $375 a download - hey, you gotta make money somehow). Fanhattan is a new iPad app that lets you search ... continue reading
If we were to list the movies we thought were better than their literary counterparts, the list would be three items long: Psycho, Blade Runner and A Clockwork Orange. The first two already have "Anniversary Editions" that made it to Blu-Ray and now A Clockwork Orange does as well. The masterpiece that is A Clockwork ... continue reading
"Super Mario Propaganda Prints" - Yup, we got lured in by that too. Hook, line, sinker like we were two drunk guys doing the Catch The Fish Dance at a wedding. Seeing as how Fro's other prints are equally as visually appealing we're glad we got suckered in. The LA-based graphic designer churns out not just the ... continue reading
Starting off this post with, "If you're a fan of Stanley Kubrick . . ." would be insanely pointless seeing as how the chances that you don't like at least one of the director's movies is so minuscule that they would not even register on some sort of money-wasting worldwide survey. Going on the assumption that many ... continue reading
No matter how we spin it, for the most part we live our lives in small, familiar areas. We eat at the same restaurants, we hit the same bars and we pass the same people. Outside of some knockout that shops at the same bra store as Christina Hendricks or the guy who still sports a monocle, we really don't pay much ... continue reading
What do filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers have in common? Answer: Awesomeness (and Steve Buscemi). While we’ve watched Reservoir Dogs and Fargo more times than we can remember, pasting an image of Mr. Blonde removing an ear or a bloody snow covered field on our wall never struck us as a particularly ... continue reading

The last day of screenings, and my last day at Aspen Film Shortsfest, was split into 3 blocks: a 3:45 animation extravaganza, a 6pm block and a 9pm block. Trust me when I tell ... continue reading

I almost feel bad sleeping in, but it's been a long few days and this bed is comfortable. I find out that my hotel has $16 pocket-sized o2 tanks for sale, so I buy one and ... continue reading

Organizing the festival the way it is - by keeping its screenings in two blocks later in the day - it gives you enough time to enjoy the day. While some of this time is used ... continue reading
