The Good Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is dated in the best way. The Bad I would have really liked to see an in-depth interview with Irwin Allen talking about his shows, his life and his other work. Irwin Allen’s Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Vol. 1 is a nail biter of a TV on DVD release if ever there was one. Fans of such movies as The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide will certainly enjoy seeing the Seaview in action....
I wasn’t sure what to expect from “Waiting For Forever,” but I have to say that this romantic and touching film pleasantly surprised me. It reminded me a bit of “Garden State,” but with less emphasis on the humor and being hip for the sake of being hip. While the film is a romantic comedy, of sorts, its also a very dramatic film and takes a look at death as well as love....

Kevin Smith is an independent filmmaker. He follows no mold except for the one he creates. Audiences and critics have pegged him and his films as comedic, stoner, and outcast fare. A good director knows better than to become predictable. At the Wizard World Chicago 2006 convention, Smith announced that his next project, Red State, would be a serious, straight-laced horror film. His focus turned to the church and state, both with their collective debate and strife....

What would you do for love? Would you kill? That’s the essential question that is asked in the new Australian film, “The Square,” and the film’s answer may shock you. This is a brilliant film that uses the device of film noir but places it in a modern day, suburban, domestic setting. The acting and story telling is excellent while the direction is stripped down and tasteful. Writer and co-star Joel Edgerton is best known for his role as Owen Lars, stepbrother to Anakin and future uncle to Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones” and “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith....
