Holy Jaw-drop, Batman, Warner Archive's got Loophole! http://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s4181loop.html

I've seen this at a few of my local bookstores. Not sure if it's been posted here yet:

Went looking, but didn't find it. I did come across this, though: http://www.amazon.com/Making-Patton-Classic-Journey-Silver/dp/0700618627/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368922600&sr=1-1&keywords=making+patton

[Iron Man 3]

Iron Man 3 - 6/10 - It's still enjoyable until the last third, when it becomes a blur of repetitive action that could be C&P'd from any other summer blockbuster of the last 10-15 years.

Did someone just say, "Container cargo set piece"?

[Journey to Italy [Voyage to Italy] / Viaggio in Italia]

Journey to Italy [Voyage to Italy] / Viaggio in Italia (1954) - 3/10. DCP. English-language version. George Sanders and Ingrid Bergman play a couple having marital problems on a trip to Naples, where they've gone to sell a villa (how nice for them). The dialogue is often risible--it's as if someone had written it all originally in another language and then had it translated into English (hmmm). The touristy shots of museums, churches, lava beds, and the (pre-Floyd) ruins of Pompeii are charming, but hardly the stuff of drama. And why we should care about this tiresome old couple in never explained. Oh well, this wasn't the only time that fraud Rossellini put one over on the art-house crowd. Criterion Blu-ray on the way!

U.S. Blu comin' in August: http://www.amazon.com/Death-Hunt-Blu-ray-Charles-Bronson/dp/B00CQ8U5ZE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1368730953&sr=8-3&keywords=death+hunt

There is more interaction between Corbett and the men and the young guy begs for his life and then tries to shoot Corbett in the back.

That was in the DCP I saw last summer.

"The new film will take place in a modern-day setting, and will follow a disgraced D.E.A. agent as he attempts to take down a Mexican drug lord south of the border."

It is not enough to say bad things about this movie. It is not enough to boycott the film and the studio that is making it.

When push comes to shove, he never does nail that final major job. And he is deadly reckless

What titoli said. Also, he does nail Frog One in FC II.

Ha!

Yeah, "kinda" is right. It isn't funny. None of the dialogue works. The chase is boring. The plot doesn't make any sense (if the Bendix character is in on it, why does he have to chase Mitchum and Greer? He must already know where they're going--why doesn't he just go there?). It might have worked if there was, at any time, a sense that the leads could come to harm. They closest they get to danger is when their car has to cross a really, really big pothole. The gunplay is pathetic. And why are they even in Mexico, anyway?

Inoffensive, bland, forgettable. Three words that can't possibly be applied to Peckinpah's original, whatever your feelings about it.

Amen.

Man, why isn't this disc in my paw right now???

A negative character a cop who  gets on the trail on the biggest drug catch (at the time) by simply watching 3 characters having fun at  the Copa on his spare time? An imperfect man, probably. But a loser, naw.  And "trigger happy" neither, for the reasons above.

There is a certain recklessness about him, though. This can either produce good results (as in, he'll take any chance to get the gunman who tried to take him out) or bad results (as in, he'll take any chance to get the gunman who tried to take him out). In the first case, his tenacity pays off with his getting the gunman; in the second case, his tenacity puts the safety of people and property at great risk. When luck is with him, he's a great cop. When luck goes against him, he's dangerous and irresponsible. Society must act to moderate his behavior for the sake of those it protects. Meanwhile, of course, Popeye's dual nature makes him a great character.

Yeah, sweat.

[Full Frontal]

Full Frontal (2002) - 8/10. Artry Soderbergh pic about the interrelated lives of several LA couples over a 24-hours period, contrasted with scenes of a rom-com movie couple (Julia Roberts and Blair Underwood). The movie-within-the-movie is shot on film and has added foley and scoring; the "real" world (the majority of the film) is shot on cheap DV and looks intentionally crappy and has no added audio. Several fun cameos are used, including a couple with Brad Pitt, David Fincher; there are even two with Terence Stamp, who is playing his role from The Limey (it's as if the events in The Limey were occurring concurrently with what is happening here) . We also see scenes from a play about Hitler's personal life--as if Hitler were a contemporary schlub--that are very funny. Mostly this film is a collection of scenes about pairs of people talking, but the very talented cast does a good job of putting over the amusing dialog. There is even character development and some legitimate pathos. I liked it a lot.
