And as they get older, wouldn’t they grow to like screwball comedies (His Girl Friday), women’s weepies (Imitation of Life), and westerns (The Searchers)? The answer is that they’ll follow ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=237 The blue robot included with this set is a little wacky-looking (if he's based on an actual movie I don't recognize it -- probably from one of the serials I haven't seen), but he's certainly better than the blocky gray guy in the first set. I'll give Alpha credit for ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=236 From Amazon: Two major collections of Martin Scorsese DVDs were released within a year. While the Warner set contains more popular films, this MGM set digs deeper. It combines a new, knockout two-disc edition of Raging Bull, the concert film The Last Waltz, and two Scorsese curios--Boxcar Bertha and, making its ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=235 Another set of "classic" movies from Alpha Video, packaged with a Robbie the Robot ripoff toy. Probably the best of the three sets, since it includes some of the coolest movies ("Destroy All Planets" is actually Gamera vs. Viras) and certainly the coolest of the three robot toys. From Amazon: The ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=234 From Amazon: The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection boxed set is the definitive account of one of the silent cinema's greatest comedians--and for a time, its most popular star.

Not as compelling as the Camp Cult Classics series, perhaps, but worth a look if you have a lot of shelf space and a ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=232 It's an obvious idea: collect all the Oscar-nominated short films onto one DVD so people can see them. Well, collect as many as you can get the rights to, anyway. And then pad it out with a few decent shorts from the film festival circuit. Charge twenty bucks for it. ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=231 From Amazon: Hideshi Hino is hailed as the master of the macabre, whose pustule-popping, rainbow-colored, flesh-filled nightmares have continually pushed the limits of Japanese horror comics for nearly 40 years, influencing many artists who dwell in the realm of horror and the fantastic. The horrifically graphic stories of this legendary Japanese ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=230 If you don't own a desk chair and spend a lot of time in front of the video game console -- and if you have too little space for two separate chairs for these purpose -- then the Trey Chair might be for you. I'm thinking college students with generous ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=229 Bobcat Goldthwait's original attempt at feature film direction (Shakes the Clown) didn't earn him much in the way of admiration or indie cred, and it took him a while to saddle back up. In the interim he seems to have learned a lot about filmmaking and even more about storytelling. ... http://www.filmbuffstuff.com/?p=228
