Blu-ray Review: The Man Who Fell To Earth

An alien arrives to bring water to his planet in David Bowie's first movie The Man Who Fell To Earth . Review by Matt Cummings When Actor and Musician David Bowie died in 2016, it was as if the whole universe felt the weight of his loss. An individual of the highest order, Bowie forged new limits in music throughout his exceptional career, yielding several spectacular successes and others which are still waiting for the mainstream to embrace. The same could be said of his acting: never one to choose vanilla projects, Bowie's well known for 1988's Labyrinth and his cameo in 2001's Zoolander . But his career took off years before in 1976's The Man Who Fell to Earth , an art-house film if there ever was one. Misunderstood at the time for being a series of unorthodox visual montages instead of a connected narrative, it's eventually matured in critic's minds to become a stinging commentary on corporations. But the story of an alien who comes to Ear

#StarWarsSmugglersBounty Review: January 2017

January's Star Wars/Funko Smuggler's Bounty sub box strikes a win with this month's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! Review by Matt Cummings As 2016 ended on the Star Wars/Funko alliance known as Smuggler's Bounty, it was clear the sub box line had learned some big lessons, mixing heavy disappointments with stellar submissions. Even with an awesome November, we were curious to see if January would make it 2-for-2, or whether the line was in for a turbulent 2017. I can happily report that January's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK theme is filled with a very good wearable, a nice plushie, and one of the best Pop! figures we've ever seen. Before diving in, let's review the details: The cost for a Month to Month is $25 (plus S/H), or $150 (plus S/H) for a one-year subscription. You get one box every other month, with SB promising $50 in value and no fluff. If you choose the Smuggler membership (yearly), you are promised an additional gift on your anniversary.
