In the plethora of Jackie Chan stunt scenes to choose from, the bus disaster in New Police Story may be the most visually stunning…

The General is considered one of the greatest films ever made, ranking in at number 18 on the most recent AFI list. We agree. However, bringing a silent film starring Buster Keaton from 1927 to high definition and Blu-ray posed some challenges, and producer Bret Wood let us in on the process, while offering thoughts [...]

Why is it that all thieves who break into your home can’t be like Snow White? She finds a house in the middle of nowhere and gleefully dances around sweeping up dirt or washing dishes. It’s a shame not everyone can be that lucky.
Of course, as everyone knows, Snow White is a fairy tale (sapping [...]

Funny People, up to a certain point, is Judd Apatow’s masterpiece. That point is easy to pick out. In it, George Simmons (Adam Sandler) attempts to rekindle a past relationship with Laura (Leslie Mann).
They sit outdoors of Simmons’ mansion, one built from the millions of Hollywood dollars earned through starring roles in dopey comedies. All [...]

Scream is timeless. It was a perfect satire of a genre that lost any spark of originality decades before. Scary Movie doesn’t seem to understand that.
By parodying specific horror movies, Scary Movie is now hopelessly dated, and the pop culture references now terribly unfunny (as opposed to just unfunny when the movie was released). The [...]

John Berger is the owner of the enormously useful Widescreen.org, “The Letterbox and Widescreen Advocacy Page.” His knowledge of film has helped many people realize what widescreen is, and why they need it. DoBlu chatted with John over the phone to discuss some of the controversy over the excessive use of digital noise reduction on [...]

Since 2003’s Mystic River, Clint Eastwood’s career has been nothing short of stunning. That’s not necessarily because his films are masterpieces, but because he continually one-ups himself in terms of quality. Changeling is his latest, a fantastic, gripping, and at times unnerving story of a mother desperately searching for her missing son with help from [...]

The Last Starfighter could have been a hack job. Given its place in time, it served one purpose: to milk two popular aspects of popular culture for all it was worth. George Lucas had finished his Star Wars saga (or so we thought) and video games dominated TV screens.
Last Starfighter uses both, casting Lance [...]

Gladiator opens with a massive battle between the Romans and the last of a barbarian horde. It is seven minutes in, and director Ridley Scott has the audience in his hands.
The battle is huge, with catapults flinging flaming ammunition at a nearly defenseless army. Swords clash, blood flows freely, and the intensity does not let [...]

In all the years of holiday films, one would think every concept has been explored. Family dysfunction, romance, John Candy and Steve Martin, BB guns, ghosts of Christmas past, and George Bailey takes care of everything… or so you would think. Leave it to Tim Burton to take the Christmas holiday and do something with [...]
