This is an outstanding 4K release of one of Romero’s most pleasurably rewatchable films.
Shout! Factory’s impressive disc honors the film with a restoration transfer and a slew of meaty extras.
The steadiness with which the film progresses through its dramatic beats is like its familiar-sounding indie pop.
Much of the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm deals with Larry’s inability to mind his own business.
The film gets too caught up in the semi-farcical comings and goings of the two Sophies and Ethans to explore any of the issues it raises about relationships very deeply.
Any goodwill the film boasts is terminally suppressed, buried beneath a layer of bullshit as thick as blubber.
This is a DVD package that seems not to want to be noticed, by a show that was made more or less in the same spirit.
These characters love each other and we love them, no matter how much they fuck up.
Bored to Death’s great comedic cast makes undistinguished material well worth holding out for.
On and on it trundles, and the busier it gets the duller it is.
Bored to Death isn’t a very good show unless you can’t get enough of the cast, in which case it’s more than good enough.
The show induces yawns in its attempt to capture the meandering lifestyle and mindset of thirtysomething losers.
The writers have acknowledged our new understanding of Patty as an enigma in order to tease us with what seems to be a process of humanization.
Callie Khouri’s film is unbelievable, slapdash, and idiotic in virtually every respect.
Curb Your Enthusiasm’s harping on Larry’s hyper-realized worldview and his general “outsider” relationship to humanity still surprises.
The most interesting thing about Damages is its structure as essentially two mysteries at once.
