I also recall loving the movie, which continues to this day, especially its famous scene of the paddle ball seemingly bursting through the screen and toward our faces. It’s a superb effect lost on previous home-video releases; absent of another theatrical re-release, Warner Bros.’ new Blu-ray of House of Wax is as close as you’re […]

Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai
In other words, if it’s all-out action you seek, stick to 13 Assassins. You won’t get that until about the last 20 minutes of Hara-Kiri, but I’d argue the wait makes the clash of swords sounding all the more sweet.

For the modest
The machines use advanced imaging technology (AIT), which shoots out a harmless electromagnetic wave that works to detect dangerous things like weapons and explosives. Pending no “anomaly,” the screen will give the OK for non-threatening passengers to make their way to the plane. This new technology introduces a PG version of the 3-D body scans […]

Hugo
What is unexpected, however, is that this mash note comes in a rare outing for him: a family-friendly film based on a popular children’s book. Set in 1930s Paris, “Hugo” concerns Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield, “The Wolfman”), a young boy who keeps the clocks running in a sprawling train station. Orphaned and on his own, […]
