Cyrus Punches Through "Rocky: The Undisputed Collection"

For better or worse, the character of Rocky Balboa is one of the most recognizable in cinema history. Sylvester Stallone’s from the streets to the championship underdog boxer powerfully resonated with audiences, spawning after it’s initial 1976 Best Picture winning film, five sequels, concluding… Continue

Cyrus Worships the Criterion Blu-Ray of "Wings of Desire"

“Wings of Desire: The Criterion Collection Edition” Brace yourself kiddies, because I’m gonna get all arty here on you for a second. I can’t help it in this case. German director Wim Wenders made in 1987 what… Continue

Cyrus is Sobered into Reconsidering Tonight's Dinner by "Food, Inc"

I was prepared, going into this 2009 documentary, to be lectured on about the evils of ‘frankenfood’ a term the organic foods industry likes to toss around in such a general sense, that it actually causes harm. Take for instance, the wide-spread famine in Zambia when their leaders were… Continue

Jason and Cyrus Find "Orphan" Falls a Little Short

CYRUS: I'm done. No more evil kids. Or evil kid-like things. I need a break. I'm positively inundated with miniature threats. It's as if it was a new Japanese economic invasion but upon our horror films instead of our electronic devices. I skipped "Orphan"… Continue

Cyrus Adds Woody Allen's "Whatever Works" to His Left-Wing Christmas Viewing List

“Whatever Works” This new Woody Allen film was originally written by him in 1977 and it really feels that way. While it’s not a… Continue

Cyrus is the Opposite of Nostalgic for "Night of the Creeps"

“Night of the Creeps” It’s not easy to make an intentionally B-rated film for laughs. Many have tried and failed and only a few have made it past the surprisingly acute scanners of horror/genre film buffs. One of those held high amongst such of my brethren was “Night of The… Continue

Cyrus Asks YOU Why You Haven't Seen "It's Garry Shandling's Show"...There's a Boxset, ya Know.

“It’s Garry Shandling’s Show: The Complete Season” Garry Shandling is one of the oddest men working in comedy. What I like about him is that his character, pretty much the same in his stand-up, this… Continue

Beau Thinks it's a Stretch To Say "Plastic Man: The Complete Collection" is Worth Owning

Well, I shouldn’t have joked so much about only being given the arty highbrow stuff to review because just guess what was waiting in my inbox the next time I looked? Plastic Man. Yep. Plastic Man had his own animated… Continue

Beau Jumps Back in the Pool With Atom Egoyan's "Adoration" DVD Review

So, all of Jason and Cyrus’ wacky fun back and forth on their Fantastic Fest review’s really have made me want to jump back into the reviewing game with two feet and my now patented big bag full of snark™. So, on my last trek up to the LEOG lair I went up to Cyrus… Continue

Cyrus's Buy, Rent or Skip: Nick Swardson, Willy Wonka and The Gate

Nick Swardson: Seriously, Who Farted I’ve gotten too old for stand-up comics who direct their humor at college kids. Wait, now, looking back at all the stand-up I’ve ever liked, I think I was too old for it when I was too young for it. My humor tastes always ran to either the su… Continue

Cyrus Defends to the Death, "Natural Born Killers: The Director's Cut" on Blu-Ray

Natural Born Killers: The Director’s Cut I’m positive that if there was a list of the most polarizing, most argued about, most simultaneously passionately hated and loved films, that this would almost have to be in the… Continue

Cyrus's Buy, Rent or Skip: Life on Mars, Not Quite Hollywood, Red Dwarf, and Snow White

Life on Mars (American Version) It seems like a shame that a show as good as this only got to 17. This remake of the hit British show outdoes its forerunner in almost every aspect but most especially in the ending, which, unlike its forebear, bothers to tie up all the story… Continue

Labyrinth Blu-Ray I’m past the point of being able to judge this 1986 Jim Henson fantasy film objectively anymore. Maybe it’s not as good… Continue

Jason and Cyrus Are Only a Little Itchy From "The Thaw"

Cyrus's Buy, Rent or Skip: X-Men, Primeval, Star Trek, The Unit

Here’s a surprise revelation for some: I run out of time. A lot. I honestly try to watch every movie that comes out, both at home and at the movies, to play every game that’s worth playing, read every book and comic worth reading, and climb every mountain, yada yada. There just isn’t enough time. Sure is a fun life trying though, but for the sake of the nice folks who send me a lot of these DVDs to check out, I’m going to start posting these catch-up lists for the wonderful stuff I got in the of… Continue
