Re: Unknown characters in past reviews

Sorry about this everyone! We were moving a better character encoding in our database and there was a little fallout, which I think has now been cleaned up. Just let us know if you see other areas where things look messed up, and we'll do our best to get them fixed! Looks like it’s fixed! If I see ...

Unknown characters in past reviews

Re: What do you consider "old" or "vintage"?

We had a running gag in film school undergrad that anything made prior to 1994 was "too old". It was facetious then (making fun of people who thought Jurassic Park was not modern enough). But with hindsight I'm kind of inclined to say it seriously. Personally though I don't see "old" and "new" or "c...

Re: Favourite Films Of All Time?

Whenever I get asked at parties I say, Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). Which is true. It usually halts polite conversation but exposes real future friends. I hope you don't mean you actually say the complete title out loud. That's grounds for a bowl of ...

Re: Help Me With Movie Name (1990)

I recalled Battle For The Lost Planet while reading the post, but I could be way off-base.

Re: Looking for 70s movie title

Re: Movie Streaming

But no one is gonna subscribe to more than two or three services, and all these media companies haven't realized that. I guess I'm alone, here. If a service has a particular value above and beyond simply having films on a digital "shelf" for me to watch whenever, I will subscribe for access to that...

Re: Films where it matters which version you see

(This is a great Criticker List OP) In addition to other mentions I can think of right now: Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Cut Red Cliff "international" is a tragedy, Parts 1 and 2 are a much better experience Ashes of Time Redux is actually watchable The Wicker Man "restored" cut improves...
