Witless Protection

I guess my problems with Larry The Cable Guy begin and end in a few areas that are simply impossible to get over. First off, his whole blue collar routine that instantly connected with millions of people across the world seems unconvincing since his [...]

The Signal

"The Signal" landed on my desk as an oddity of sorts. For starters I had heard nothing of the film until it arrived, and judging from the strange box cover I mistakenly assumed it was some sort of cheesy straight to video science fiction, of the [...]

Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition

Warner Home Video couldn't give fans a better present than a full blown "Dirty Harry" box set in high definition, containing each of the five movies in new 1080p transfers, but also including a number of gizmos. It is as if Christmas [...]
