DVD Pick of the Week: Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Movie
Published May 06, 2008
Delirious. Steve Buscemi stars in this story of a crossover between stardom and the paparazzi and a homeless kid. Joining Buscemi are Michael Pitt, Alison Lohman, Gina Gershon, and Elvis Costello. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
2007 Academy Award Nominated Short Films. I love these collections, although I have never bought one. Not many people get to see these shorts on the big screen, so these collections are a great way to see these films. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
Saawariya. A Bollywood film funded by a Hollywood studio? Not sure how this came about, but I keep hearing good things about it. Wanting to check out more Bollywood productions, this may be a good place to start. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
BraveStarr: The Movie. 1980s-era animation comes to DVD. I have never seen BraveStarr, but I am sure I'd like it. I was more of a Thundarr kind of kid. This feature length film introduces the interstellar marshal to audiences prior to the start of the series. Seems like a good enough place to be. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
The Hottie & The Nottie. Paris Hilton as the lone top-billed star? Not a good idea. It made a whopping $27,000 at the box office. Sadly, it will likely do well on DVD, no help from me, of course. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
Abominable. This Sci-Fi Original was actually pretty good. Jeffrey Combs is among the stars, and he is always watchable. It is not a great movie, but it is pretty good in developing some tension, not being annoying, and actually being worth the time. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
Devil Times Five. 1970s horror film about some kids who have escaped from a criminal psychiatric ward who terrorize a group of upscale people at a dinner party. I have heard some bad things, but should be worth a rental. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
Zombies Anonymous. How can you go wrong with a title like that? It looks like yet another low budget outing, but I like the description. It is set in a world where the living and the dead co-exist and must figure out ways to make it work. Could be worth adding to my horror collection. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
