Recommended Just about the last of the big-scale, major studio science fiction films from a distinct era stretching roughly from 1966’s Fantastic Voyage and preceding the genre-changing release of Star Wars in 1977, Logan’s Run (1976) is colorful and entertaining but also garish and, at times, quite stupid. This reviewer never read the very different novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson from which it was based, but the film version is highly derivative and episodic, with some interesting ideas and evocative concepts…

Skip It The Movie: Dwayne Johnson continues to establish a slow build of respectability as a leading actor since his departure from World Wrestling Entertainment and his persona of “The Rock.” What I did not expect was that he would throw himself into more family-oriented fare. He’s done some entertaining action films for adult...

To Live and Die in L.A. (Blu-ray)
Highly Recommended Though generally regarded as depressingly nihilistic and overtly derivative when it was new, opinions about William Friedkin’s neo-noir To Live in Die in L.A. (1985) have shifted markedly over the years. The film has acquired a kind of cult status, anticipating as it did the darker, even nastier and more stylized thrillers...

Ghost Ship (Blu-ray)
Skip It The Movie: Before Hollywood took on the business of “reimagining” every horror film, the industry was still putting together some interesting ideas for the genre. And while I completely (though unintentionally) avoided 2002’s Ghost Ship when it first came out, I could at least respect some of the unique ingredients in...

Walk the Line (Blu-ray)
Recommended Yet another entry in the long, long line of musical biopics (just recently this reviewer looked at new DVD releases of Elvis and Beyond the Sea , the Bobby Darin film), Walk the Line (2005) deservedly earned a lot of praise for Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon’s performances as Johnny Cash and future wife and collaborator...

Verdi: Otello (Recorded Live at Gran Teatre del Liceu Barcelona) (Blu-ray Review)
Verdi’s ‘Otello’ is often regarded as the composer’s greatest masterpiece. This production offers some interesting staging concepts and three compelling lead performances. Of the many fascinating and compelling themes which have made Shakespeare’s immortal tragedy Othello so ripe for adaptation in so many different genres—love,...

Flight of the Intruder (Blu-ray)
Rent It The Movie: Riding on the coattails of the box office success of Top Gun , John Milius’ Flight Of The Intruder eschews the fairly grim nature of eighties era Vietnam films like Platoon in favor of macho chest thumping heroism. Based on the novel of the same name by author Stephen Coonts, it’s neither the most realistic war film... 
THX 1138: The George Lucas Director’s Cut (Blu-ray Review)
“Thou art a subject of the divine, created in the image of man, by the masses, for the masses.” CG killed the filmmaker. At least in the case of George Lucas. Watching THX 1138 , Lucas’s 1971 feature-length film debut, it’s clear that character and story were once far more important to the Maker than Gungan land wars and Kaminoan...
