Oh Please….
As a long-time Mel Brooks fan, I have always been bothered by the lack of a single obtainable version of Blazing Saddles that includes all material made for the film. If you’ve ever 1) watched the VHS or DVD version…

Whoa Momma
I went to see Bubba Ho-Tep again this past Friday, but this time I managed to drag my wife and Aron and Heather along as well. One of our local theaters is a small, independently-owned affair called the Baederwood 2…
Kill Bill: Volume 1

BAFTAs
My wife and I ended up watching a bit of the Orange BAFTAs last night on BBCAmerica and I was struck by just how well-run the entire affair was. It came in on-time, each of the acceptance speeches was short…
Blogging From The In-Laws
A few quick words, if I may. Bubba Ho-Tep rocked. Saw it at the Angelika in Dallas with my Father and Brother-in-law. Will definitely be looking forward to the DVD. The Vikes suck. Losing to the Cardinals to get bounced…
