The Big Lebowski: Limited Edition
August 11, 2011
It started with a rug that “really tied the room together” and how a simple case of mistaken identity can cause a whole lot of trouble. The Big Lebowski (1998) was just too odd for mainstream audiences and underperformed at the box office. However,...
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
November 29, 2009
When Michael Bay’s Transformers was released in 2007 it was met with much criticism from Transformers fans and film critics alike. It was overly long, had a series of obvious plot devices, relied too much on poor humour, the action scenes were cut too...
Margot at the Wedding
February 8, 2008

Transformers: Special Edition
October 17, 2007

The Big Lebowski: Collector’s Edition
February 6, 2006
It started with a rug that “really tied the room together” and how a simple case of mistaken identity can cause a whole lot of trouble. The Big Lebowski (1998) was just too odd for mainstream audiences and promptly tanked at the box office. However,...
Brain Donors
May 30, 2005
There’s a good reason why there have been so few attempts to copy the Marx Brothers. Not only did they do it the best but their particular brand of humour is so hard to pull off and do it well that what few attempts there have been have failed miserably....
