OPINION: I knew I should have stayed out of the Thor/Superman conflict. Several of you had quite strong responses to last week's column, and in the last week I've been labeled both a Superman-hater and a Thor-hater (neither of which is true, by the way). ... Zatoichi and the Shiny Silver Discs
by Brian Thomas (Tue 04-29-2003)
This week's DVD peeve: UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION OF THIS COLUMN MAY RESULT IN FINES AND/OR IMPRISONMENT BLAH BLAH BLAH... Many readers are mighty peeved at discs that don't allow you to skip over the lame FBI warning or any other material - at the start ... KING ARTHUR crowned

by Arnold T. Blumberg (Mon 08-27-2001)
It was inevitable. The "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" parody was going to have to turn up sooner or later in fact, it's a bit surprising that it comes so late, considering that the show is now losing some of its power in the pop culture gestalt. But nev... ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES
by Brian Thomas (Wed 07-25-2001)
With the world apparently destroyed at the end of BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES (Oops! Um… spoiler!), no one thought it likely that there would be another sequel. The box office tally, however, disagreed with them. The filmmakers came up with a brilliant... STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION - THE GORN CRISIS: Kevin J. Anderson, Part 2
by Matthew F. Saunders (Wed 11-15-2000)
Popularity isn’t everything. The Gorn have fascinated Star Trek fans for more than 30 years, ever since they debuted in the original series episode `Arena` in 1967.

by Arnold T. Blumberg (Fri 09-14-2001)
These days Americans may be looking to heroes more than ever before to offer a bit of inspiration or emotional support. Whether you agree that a comic book focusing on America's struggle with a somewhat more cartoonish terrorist organization is a good thi... MANHUNTER
by ANDREW HERSHBERGER (Sat 10-27-2001)
Mentioned nowadays more for being the first film to feature Hannibal Lecter, spelled here Lecktor, than for being an effective post noir, Michael Mann’s (HEAT, THE INFORMER) MANHUNTER proves to be both. Based on the popular novel RED DRAGON by Thomas Harr... DIRTY HARRY
by SCOTT COLLURA (Wed 01-30-2002)
Nowadays when you hear the name Dirty Harry, most people think of an aging Clint Eastwood spouting catchphrases in sequel after sequel, one more clichéd than the next. That’s kind of understandable, in that the franchise did devolve into a shadow of its f... Steven Grant's MORTAL SOULS

by David Michael Wharton (Mon 02-21-2005)
If you've been following the column since I took over, you'll recall that I didn't think much of MEDIUM at first. The characters didn't engage me; the plots didn't thrill me; the dialogue didn't delight me. I never thought it was a particularly bad show, ... The Mystery of the Mayanup Poltergeist

by Brian Thomas (Tue 11-16-2004)
Well, I spotted the first official Christmas tree of 2004 last week. And no, store displays and nuts like Ray Liotta who keep their tree up all year round don't count. (And no, I'm not a peeping tom it's right up there in the apartment's front window.) T... Bryce is QUEEN OF SCOTS

by Steve Fritz (Mon 09-18-2000)
About a decade ago, television networks began absorbing and/or tying up independent animation studios. The payoff is it`s now much harder for independent animation studios to survive. Networks that used to be interested in buying new series from them are ... Rock Opera Revival
by BRIAN THOMAS (Sat 06-04-2005)
The government of Japan is considering their child pornography law to include anime and manga. Of all the new porn anime titles released, about half feature sex acts involving schoolgirls. It's a touchy subject, since some argue that drawings don't have a... SEVEN SOLDIERS: SHINING KNIGHT #2
by Kurt Amacker (Wed 05-11-2005)
I gave the second issue of SEVEN SOLDIERS: SHINING KNIGHT an "A" for two reasons. First, Grant Morrison's prose is just beautiful in both this issue and the first of the series. Second, the art is beautiful. Simone Bianchi's art is just a pleasure to l... Itty Bitty DVDs

Some of you have expressed some confusion over the new small format discs I've been listing in this column. Well, I'm confused, too, so I've put together this little glossary. They're basically all about using the high capacity of the DVD format, but putt... STAGE BEAUTY

by Tony Whitt (Wed 03-10-2004)
OPINION: I'm guessing everyone's pretty tired of the comics covers topic, based on the incredibly small response to my request for votes for the best comics covers of all time. I'm pretty tired of it, myself - but that's because I decided to go out and do... Making a new move on THE MARK

As I mentioned in last week’s column, I spent a chunk of my weekend at the world’s longest (and longest running) movie marathon, the madness incarnate known as B-fest [www.b-fest.com]. I’m still a bit wiped from the experience as I write this, but exhilar... HALO 2 falls into the fall
