Rain of Madness: The best part of Tropic Thunder on DVD!
Tropic Thunder was one of my favorite films of last year. It made my Top 10 Movies of 2008 list, and you can click here to read my original review. The two-disc special edition DVD is pretty snazzy. It contains a pretty thorough series of featurettes that cover many of the aspects
DVD Shelf!
It’s been a busy month here, but that hasn’t stopped me from checking out a bunch of DVDs recently, new and old: The Conversation — Released in 1974, this masterpiece was written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola between The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.

Once Upon a Time in America
I love trolling the discount bins at Newbury Comics and other stores that sell DVDs, because you never know what sort of fun treasures you’ll find for very little money. Case in point: I recently came across Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America. I had heard of th
