You may not be aware of this, but Frank Oz's film version of Little Shop of Horrors used to have a downer ending where everybody died. Not just the main characters, but everybody in the world. Test audiences in San Jose didn... more
Remember when Peter Jackson put out the extended editions of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King a year after each of their respective theatrical releases? It's going to happen again with Th... more
In case you missed it, Dredd 3D is actually supposed to be pretty good, and now it has the Mondo poster to prove it. As a part of the film's final premier at Austin's Fantastic Fest, Mondo has teamed up with artist Jock to cr... more
Remember that awesome sounding collector's edition "Phase One" Blu-ray box set for The Avengers? Remember that it was a replica of Nick Fury's tesseract suitcase and had ten discs of Marvel owned awesomeness? Remember it supp... more
At 165 minutes, The Dark Knight Rises was the longest of Christopher Nolan's Batman films. There's a rumor from the site Nuke the Fridge that the movie may be getting 30 minutes longer on Blu-Ray. The reintegrated footage wou... more
Can you believe we're less than a month away from the DVD/Blu-ray release of The Avengers? I'm so ready to lovingly place this disc into my Blu-ray player and sit for hours watching all of the extras and deleted scenes. Spea... more
In 1953, Stanley Kubrick released his first feature film, Fear and Desire, to minor critical success and poor box office draw. It got to the point where Kubrick had to take a job directing a promotional film to raise funds fo... more
In case you hadn't heard Stephen Spielberg is finally getting his act together and putting his films out on Blu-ray. What exactly does that mean? In this case it means that on september 18 we get to buy the first three India... more
Love it or hate it, Prometheus is a hell of a movie. And this being a Ridley Scott directed movie, we can expect a pretty grandiose home release. Fox recently detailed the list of extras that'll be on the Blu-Ray, and it... more
Congrats to Austin White and xxtrickyphdxx! I've got the pleasure of living with four other Flixist editors in the hallowed halls of the Flixist LA Love Palace, and we're massive fans of The FP. I think most of us have seen i... more
I could see the any one of the kids from Project X growing up to be Jeff from Jeff Who Lives at Home. I had a blast with both of these movies and am so glad they're out today. Project X is one of those awesome film... more
If you're like me, you have a certain affectation for Riggs and Murtaugh's comedy stylings over the course of the four Lethal Weapon films, and if you're like me, you'll be rushing out to pick up the Lethal Weapon: The C... more
Did you see The Grey? It had some pretty evil wolves in it. Some might even say Satanist wolves. Those people might also be picking up The Devil Inside today, but probably not because most people didn't like it (I'm part... more
The Mother's Day remake, from what I remember, was pretty alright in terms of remakes of Troma films from long ago. Lots of blood, psychological torture, and uncomfortable situations. Just the thing to leave for mom unde... more
Nod your heads, because Men in Black and Men in Black II are on Blu-ray today! Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and the Edgar Suit in 1080p! And just in time to catch up before the third installment hits theaters this summer... more
I have a confession to make: I'm pretty lukewarm on most of the Marvel animated films. Ultimate Avengers and its sequel are no exception. I haven't seen Next Avengers, but the progeny of today's Avengers were pretty cool in t... more
Disney is absolutely brilliant with its home video releases. The whole "vault" concept, where films get locked back up in a mythical vault after a limited time on the shelves, allows them to make an event out of every release... more
Slow week this week, but there are a few gems, namely Shame and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. My greatest regret of 2011 is not getting a chance to see Shame, but I'll have to settle for The Fass's penis on Blu-ray inst... more
A Donald Glover DVD out this week? HRNGH. Also, you can watch Emily Browning get felt up while unconscious in Sleeping Beauty, Emile Hirsch and Olivia Thirlby fight alien fireflies in The Darkest Hour, and Meryl Streep ... more
Another slow Tuesday this week. On the new releases side, we've got War Horse and We Bought a Zoo, two movies I wasn't terribly motivated to see in theaters. BUT! Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey is out, and that's... more
Not a lot of stuff out today. The highlight is certainly Corman's World, a documentary about legendary director/producer Roger Corman (who, at NYCC, Alec got to interview). The other big releases this week are Alvin and the C... more
So, no big deal, but Battle Royale is finally, finally out on DVD and Blu-ray. That's kind of a big deal. And not only that but there's a ton of new releases this week as well! The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The M... more
Let me give you some necessary background information before I make a bold statement. I am a theater guy. I frequently listen to musical soundtracks, I like musicals, and I am okay with musical logic (or lack there-of). I wat... more
