ARROW 4K UHD RELEASE: Snakes On a Plane (2006)
Back when people thought the internet was a positive thing, this movie generated so much online buzz that New Line Cinema used web feedback to reshoot for 5 days, most of which was spent feeding Samuel Jackson lines with the f-word. It was also the first movie where Hollywood learned that memes and online chatter […]

ARROW 4K UHD RELEASE: Poseidon (2006)
Wolfgang Petersen made Das Boot and The Perfect Storm, so he was the best person to probably direct the sequel to The Poseidon Adventure. It was filmed on large-scale sets and soundstages and had practical effects and stunts to go with the digitally-enhanced water effects. Robert Ramsey (Kurt Russell) is a NYC firefighter on vacation […]

Aug 4-10 Stoner Comedy Week: I don’t gas reefer anymore, but I love it when people in movies do! Ever since the 2023 Australia incident, where Tenacious D went on hiatus — and seemingly Jack Black buried his friend Kyle Gass — thinking of the D makes me sad. It was hard to watch this […]

ARROW VIDEO 4K UHD RELEASE: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)
A prequel to 2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this movie reminds me that when a franchise has run out of ideas, they always go backward. Back to the well or, in this instance, back in time for a prequel. Back in 1939, a woman gave birth in a slaughterhouse and died, at which point the manager […]

MILL CREEK BLU RAY RELEASE: The King of Queens (1998-2007)
Premiering on CBS on September 21, 1998, The King of Queens was one of those shows that always seemed to be on. I had never watched it, and all I knew about Kevin James was that he was Mick Foley’s high school wrestling teammate. But when I showed the box set on our weekly “What Came […]
25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE: Santa Baby (2006)
I just want holiday movies to be an escape because I’ll be frank, I’m head in the sand about the next few years and I’m trying to use the power of film to hide in my own world until I feel like this one is safe again. Then again, it never was safe and you […]
