Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut (2006)
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut is a very different film. As much as half of the film contains never-before seen material filmed by Donner, including 15 minutes of Marlon Brando scenes as Superman's father Jor-El as well as numerous new Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder scenes. Some of this "new" material has appeared in earlier extended television cuts. There are also several newly-filmed shots and many new visual effects. Richard Donner is credited as director of the film instead of Richard Lester — the original credited director of Superman II. More than half of Lester's footage filmed for Superman II has been removed from the film and replaced with Donner footage shot during the original principal photography from 1977–1978. Certain footage filmed by Richard Lester remains in sequences that were not shot by Donner due to the halt in production for this film.

The Searchers
DVD/ Color/ 119 Mins./ NR/ 1956
John Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter spend years searching for Wayne's niece (Natalie Wood), who was abducted as a child by Comanches. Far from a picaresque adventure yarn, The Searchers is director John Ford's forceful meditation on racism, revenge and obsession -- one of the most powerful ever filmed. And Wayne's portrayal of a brutishly obsessed "savior" is downright frightening.

The Oozing Skull a.k.a Brain OF Blood ( with Cinematic Titanic commentary*)
DVD/ Color/ 87 Mins./ NR/ 1972
Amir, the benevolent ruler of Kalid, is dying, but there is hope. Freshly deceased, he is flown to the United States where Dr. Trenton transplants his brain into the body of a simpleton in a classic "assistant got the wrong kind of body" plot line. Dr. Trenton has a few nefarious plot twists of his own in mind, and then there's the thing with the dwarf and the women chained in the basement. It's up to Amir's friend Bob and wife Tracey to try and salvage this tale.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 alumni Joel Hodgsen (creator of MST3K), Josh Weinstein (he was the first Tom Servo), Trace Beaulieu (the first Crow), Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl release their first movie for DVD.

Apocalypto - very good, I thought.

Kingdom - very good, I thought.

No Country For Old Men - Good movie, odd ending.

319 To Yuma - good performance by Russel Crow, but based on a silly premise.

Atonement - excellent drama, nice twist at the end.

The Bucket List - just fun to watch two great actors work together.

Shooter - a very good action thriller.

The Prestige - I liked it a lot, but mostly because of Michael Caine's performance.

I Am Legend - Good, I loved the special effects.

Michael Clayton - moderately good.

Juno - very good.

Rendition - boring and stupid.

Last King of Scotland - Forrest Whitaker's performance as Idi Amin is great.

I went to see Leatherheads with Renee Zellweger and George Clooney and it was GREAT. If you liked "O Brother, Where art Thou?" you will love this one.

Scuba, I gotta disagree. I love O Brother and this movie was terrible.
