Phillip K. Dick’s short story is turned into an extravagant film, one a bit longer than it probably needs to be, yet it never loses focus.

Each character has a rival on this same Indians team, creating a level of dissension and animosity, in addition the hurdles faced on the field.

It is a shame She’s Out of My League falls down the “romantic comedy script tree” and hits every branch.

This is a visual effects masterpiece, a film so convincingly real in its efforts, the invasion seems plausible.

Everything unfolds as if there is some grand scale mystery afoot, when that is not the case.

We’ve already reviewed the disc, but what about The African Queen’s Commemorative Box Set Paramount released?

There are some absolutely brilliant dialogue exchanges in The Relic, some of them so darkly twisted, they fit right into the film’s dim photography.

It is undoubtedly the long, treacherous, and storied African location shooting that makes African Queen feel so grandiose in scale.

Without an engaging central character, someone most people would hate, Up in the Air would not work as well as it does.

Maybe this decade old little redneck, podunk, one-horse, mudhole, truck-driving, inbred, unkempt, white trash mountain town does have something valuable to tell us after all.
