DVD Verdict: Daryl Loomis

The Sex Pistols on TV

2014-08-30

Quote: "The Sex Pistols were The Monkees of punk music. I know I'm going to get some hate for this from people who inexplicably still like this band, but they're just a manufactured act, little more than the Backstreet Boys or One Direction."

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (Blu-ray) Criterion Collection

2014-08-28

Quote: "I guarantee you'll never look at your bath toys the same way again."

Short Eyes (1977) (Blu-ray)

2014-08-26

Quote: "Not as cruel or as tough to watch as some prison movies out there, Short Eyes nonetheless feels more authentic than any of them."

Leviathan (1989) (Blu-ray)

2014-08-25

Quote: "Leviathan takes an old-school drive-in movie approach. It's cheap, derivative, and kind of silly, but a whole lot of fun."

Anna

2014-08-20

Quote: "Anna, for all its trappings, is a reasonably well-crafted little thriller."

Curtains (1983) (Blu-ray)

2014-08-20

Quote: "If you've never seen Curtains, you aren't missing much; if you're a fan of it for whatever reason, though, you're in for a real treat with this release."

Motel Hell (1980) (Blu-ray) Collector's Edition

2014-08-20

Quote: "It isn't what one could call high art or even good horror, but somehow it works."

Louie: The Complete Third Season

2014-08-13

Quote: "What Louis C.K. has done here, and I guess he's been doing it to a lesser degree the whole time, is give you the stories behind the jokes. I don't laugh; I get sad."

The Black Book (1949)

2014-07-17

Quote: "This is the kind of historical drama I have a hard time liking."

Screamers (1979)

2014-07-09

Quote: "It's super hokey and pretty dumb, but Screamers is really fun in only the way that a mish-mash of Corman-style and Italian exploitation could possibly be."
