A wise man once said “It’s not just about seeing Star Wars two weeks before everyone else. You’ve gotta plow through crap like Marie Antoinette and Catwoman as well.� I have the fortune of being able to see all of the films that I want, and find out that they are only worth one viewing (or l...

There is something so perfect about this video created by a Trek fan who goes by the handle tvTrequer. It was sent in to the folks over at TrekMovie, who are currently tracking a number of Star Trek trailer spoofs that have sprung up online. Apparently not every Trekker is down with the glossy, high...

This week is a very drab one here in the world of Blu-ray. First of all, I don’t mean to sound like a whiney reviewer, but I was not able to actually review any of the titles below. Why? Because I was not supplied a review copy of any of this week’s releases. And I was not about to go ou...

Sure, we are a little late on the uptick on the week’s first edition of The Daily Diversion, but trust me when I say that its worth it. The trailer for Black Dynamite, a homage to blaxsploitation starring Michael Jai White, has been blazing up the interwebs all weekend, taking the man to task ...

Apparently, the fine folks over at Spike had nothing better to do this week, what with the election over and having already read all major scholarly works their local community college library had to loan out, so they decided to hash together a list of the Ten Most Overrated Directors. Unfortunately...

To whom it may concern: I’m not sure where to begin. There’s a lot of fantastic things about your film, a lot of gambles you took paid off, a lot of beauty. It had Catherine Hardwicke’s directing signature all over it. The style of the shots and the tone almost looked like a nicer,...

Just so we can get it out of the way - Hal Haberman is a pervert. I claim that Haberman, one-half of the directing team behind Special - the superhero movie about a man with no super powers - is a pervert for several reasons. 1. While the other one-half of that directing team, Jeremy Passmore, Micha...
