Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Motion Comic

Charles Webb
January 16, 2011
DVD/Blu-ray, Reviews, Shot for Shot
I present to you the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Motion Comic, which still hasn’t made a convincing argument for the format but does remind the viewer that this comic series is out there and very much worth reading.
4.5

Batman on Film: Batman Returns (1992)

Charles Webb
December 5, 2010
Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
This clashes with much of the established fiction about the character and distinguishes the movie from so many other conceptions of Batman.
4.0

Mad Max (1979) Blu-ray Review

Charles Webb
October 17, 2010
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
It’s also interesting that the trailer does a little bit of a bait and switch, underselling the nihilism of the movie.
4.0

Batman on Film: Batman (1989)

Charles Webb
September 28, 2010
Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
I’m kind of still in “like” with the movie to this day, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the subject of my next piece, 1992’s Batman Returns.
2.0

Dorian Gray (2009) Blu-ray Review

Charles Webb, Jason Sacks
September 11, 2010
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
It was one of those movies I watch with my finger pressed on the fast-forward button.

Preview: SyFy’s Beast Legends

Charles Webb
September 1, 2010
Reviews, Shot for Shot, TV
The show mixes anthropology, crytozoology, and creature design to ask what if creatures of myth and legend really existed.
3.5

Experiment in Terror (1962)

Charles Webb
August 29, 2010
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
You can get in a full round of cultural archaeology with this movie if you’re willing to take the time. It reflects interesting (if outdated) thoughts on crime and criminals, and the role of law enforcement.
3.0

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010)

Charles Webb
August 15, 2010
Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
I’m reading here and there that Scott Pilgrim will be a generational movie, but I’m not so sure.
2.0

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

Charles Webb
February 23, 2010
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
The problems with the movie are again, multifaceted. Many of them are based in the movie’s failure to expand its scope beyond one-on-one dustups between mirror images.
4.0

Blade (1998) DVD Review

Charles Webb, Matthew Fantaci
February 12, 2010
Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
Today we'll be looking at the film that turned around Marvel's cinematic fortunes, brought Hong Kong-style action (back) into the mainstream in a big way, and kept Stephen Dorff off the streets for another few months.
3.0

Immortel (2004)

Charles Webb
January 9, 2010
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
Think of a more earnest and frankly sexual The Fifth Element and you have a sense of the final product.
3.0

Trick ‘R Treat

Charles Webb, Matthew Fantaci
October 31, 2009
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
Let me see if I can make sense of what I just said there: the tension-building aspects work so well because Dougherty establishes early on that his cast can bite it at any time (even little kids).
5.0

Creepshow (1982)

Charles Webb, Matthew Fantaci
October 17, 2009
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
And I credit this movie with not only making me a devout horror fan, but possibly a more dedicated fan of films in general.

Flash Gordon (1980)

Charles Webb, Matthew Fantaci
October 3, 2009
DVD/Blu-ray, Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
If you haven't seen it before, I'd recommend checking thjis movie out, even if only for the costumes and the soundtrack. But dig a little deeper and you might find a genuinely enjoyable movie at its core.

Special (2009) DVD Review

Charles Webb
April 26, 2009
Movies, Reviews, Shot for Shot
Even in his delusion he's only able to execute practical feats that combined common sense, observation, and willingness to punish one's body would allow.
