Pioneer PDP-6020FD 60-Inch Class KURO Plasma HDTV

The Pioneer PDP-6020FD 60-Inch Class KURO Plasma HDTV is not a HDTV for the faint hearted and if you wince at the thought of spending $4,000 or more on a TV this won't be the TV for you.

Masters of Horror – Fair Haired Child , Then we have another of the animated movies which has just finished doing the movie theater rounds and now is? on DVD Barnyard by Paramount studios who are looking at taking on the current? masters Pixar at their on game.

With? another farm yard? animation? which in my view not the finest of this genere but by the end of this holiday period maybe the CGI movies will have been come to an end.

Some how I doubt it judging by their current success.

Then we have the low budget Dantes Peak and Volcano with Magma : Volcanic Disaster? which I think should probably have been buried under it’s own eruption. Much more interesting in una vita? violenta (violent? life) by Italian maestro Pier Paolo Passolini if you can get hold of copy well worth viewing.

Finally we? have the surely? Blues Brothers inspired Japanese? anime? Nermia Daikon Brothers any way hope you enjoy these ..
Masters of Horror: Fair Haired Child
8 Dec 2006 at 6:03pm
Recommended The Movie:While Feardotcom and the remake of The House On Haunted Hill didn’t exactly set the [tag-tec]horror movie[/tag-tec] world on fire, William Malone has been quietly slugging away at project after project for decades now. Calling him a Master of Horror might be a stretch, but he’s got a few decent projects under his belt including the underrated Alien rip-off Creature (starring Klaus Kinski) and an award winning episode of HBO’s Tales From The Crypt.

When the story begins, we meet Tara (Lindsay Pulsipher), a cute but rather anti-social girl who is more interested in drawing fantasy characters than her math studies. When she leaves class and rides her bike home, she’s blindsided by a van that knocks her onto the road. A man gets out, puts her in the back of the van, and when she wakes up she’s in another state. The first person to talk to her when she wakes up …Read the entire review

Barnyard

Rent It The MovieUsed to be that only the artists who were truly dedicated to advancing the artistry of [tag-tec]computer graphics[/tag-tec] were the ones who could enjoy the spoils. I’m talking about [tag-tec]Pixar[/tag-tec], of course, and while I certainly don’t think that studio deserves to corner the whole entire “CGI Movie” market, it takes only a casual glance through a 2006 multiplex to see how the other studios are trying to keep up — and, in most cases, failing.

Between January and December of 2006, parents were offered Hoodwinked (Weinsteins), Ice Age 2 (Fox), The Wild (Disney), Over the Hedge (DreamWorks), The Ant Bully (Warner Bros), Barnyard (Paramount), Open Season (Sony), Flushed Away (DreamWorks), and Happy Feet (Warner Bros). It’s as if every studio suit went to see Madagascar last year and were all hit by a stunning epiphany at the same time: Hey,…Read the entire review

Magma: Volcanic Disaster
8 Dec 2006 at 3:40pm
Skip It The MovieXander Berkeley is one of those “oh, I love that guy!” actors. You’re never really able to recall his name, but you probably remember his presence in stuff like Internal Affairs, The Grifters, Terminator 2, Apollo 13, The Rock, Air Force One, North Country, and the first few seasons of 24. He’s a great, grizzler, “guy movie” style character actor, and his appearance in a movie generally improves the project exponentially.

So what does it say about the state of the movie business that the only way a guy like Xander Berkeley can get a leading role is to sign on for horrifically stilted basic cable fodder like Magma: Volcanic Disaster. Aside from Berkeley’s casually disinterested yet still enjoyable lead performance, there’s literally nothing here that you haven’t seen in movies like Dante’s Peak, Volcano, or…Read the entire review

Highly Recommended The Film: With 2007 shaping out to be quite a year for fans of legendary Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini (French juggernaut Studio Canal together with UK distrib Optimum have announced a massive boxset of early Pasolini works that will include the much anticipated Accattone! and Criterion are now set to re-release the scandalous Salo) I decided to track down and promote a rather unknown in the US film by Brunello Rondi and Paolo Heusch titled Una Vita Violenta a.k.a Violent Life (1962) based on a controversial story by the maestro himself.With 2007 shaping out to be quite a year for fans of legendary Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini (French juggernaut Studio Canal together with UK distrib Optimum have announced a massive boxset of early Pasolini works that will include the much anticipated and Criterion are now set to re-release the scandalous ) I decided to track down and promote a rather unknown in the US film by Brunello Rondi and Paolo Heusch titled a.k.a (1962) based on a controversial story by the maestro himself.

Nerima Daikon Brothers 1: Speak Softly But Carry
8 Dec 2006 at 12:27pm
Rent It The Show:I’ve seen a lot of anime in my day but I’ll be upfront and honest; I have never seen a show like Nerima Daikon Brothers before.

What makes this show so unique is the fact that it’s inspired heavily by the Blues Brothers. It’s rare that you see a Japanese project influenced by an American Film but what really takes the cake is the manner with which Nerima Daikon Brothers tells its twisted tale. The entire show is a musical. That’s right; a musical. While there are talky bits in between the many songs whenever there is something changing in the plot or an emotion that needs to be let out it’s done through song. Combine these elements and you have one of the most original comedy series to come along in quite some time.

ADV has picked up and started releasing the 12 episode anime but manga enthusiasts will probably recognize it from Takamitsu K…Read the entire review
