Blu-Ray Review: ‘Gossip Girl: Season 3’ Sports Skin-Deep Drama
Submitted by mattmovieman on August 24, 2010 - 7:37amCHICAGO – “Gossip Girl” isn’t a show, it’s a living fashion spread. Everything in the frame is on sale, though at a price few viewers could afford. I suspect a large portion of the show’s fans are the type of celebrity hounds who devour gossip columns, alternately envious and repulsed by the lives of the rich elite.

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Elvis on Tour’ Preserves Late Triumph For the King
Submitted by mattmovieman on August 18, 2010 - 3:16pmCHICAGO – Elvis may have left the building, but his work remains viscerally alive in this breezily enjoyable concert documentary.

It is assembled entirely out of recycled parts, lurching from one familiar set-piece to the next, as the heroes repeatedly encounter, in the words of one character, “just another beast to kill.”
Blu-Ray Review: Kevin Smith’s ‘Cop Out’ Lives Up to Its Title
Submitted by mattmovieman on July 22, 2010 - 12:07amCHICAGO – Perhaps “Cop Out” wouldn’t have tarnished Kevin Smith’s reputation so much if he had simply changed his name in the credits to “Kevin Smithee.” This is the dreariest comedy made by a gifted filmmaker since “Year One.” It’s an entirely derivative picture from one of the most distinctive and original voices in modern movies. To quote Fred Willard in “A Mighty Wind,” “Wha’ happened?”
