Back to the Future: The Real Johnny B. Goode Rocked Long Before Marty McFly

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Back to the Future is a classic comedy, one of the most popular films in motion picture history. Almost every laugh line lands with a perfectly executed punch. Every skateboard flip is a motion picture wonder. It’s one of those films which is broadly silly yet still has heart, and it’s a treasure of commercial cinema. But when Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly straps on a cherry red Gibson ES-345 he plunders the golden oldies right out of the fingers of the true original. Ignore the bit where “Marvin Berry” calls his cousin on the phone. Chuck Berry didn’t just…

Mortal Kombat: An Ode to Johnny Cage and His $500 Sunglasses

New DVD release, , ,
It might be the highest moment of tension in 1995’s Mortal Kombat. While the video game movie positions a wonderful, scenery-chewing Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as its big bad, I doubt many feared how Robin Shou would handle him in the ring. But Johnny Cage fighting Goro? It’s B-movie actor Linden Ashby playing B-movie actor Johnny Cage, and both the performer and character are entering the arena with a six-limbed demon—a bellowing banshee who just murdered a dozen other token “good guys.” The beast even has the cojones to steal Johnny’s signature sunglasses before the bout and crush them in his hand.…

Johnny Depp Isn’t the Only Problem Warner Bros. Has With Fantastic Beasts

New DVD release, , , ,
At this point, Johnny Depp is only one of the ethical/PR issues the Fantastic Beasts franchise has, but he is apparently the easiest one to address. Depp has been “asked to resign” from the Harry Potter prequel series, according to the actor’s recent Instagram post. Though neither Depp nor Warner Bros. has given a specific reason for the actor’s departure, it comes just days after a U.K. court’s ruling that British tabloid The Sun was not committing libel when they described Depp as “a wife-beater” in 2018. “Johnny Depp will depart the Fantastic Beasts franchise. We thank Johnny for his…

We’re Still Here: Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited

New DVD release, , , ,
Recommended The Movie:Antonino D'Ambrosio's 2015 documentary We're Still Here: Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears Revisited takes a look at two related subjects. The first is the history and cultural importance of Johnny Cash's 1964 album Bitter Tears: Ballads Of The American Indian and the second a 2014 effort to re-record the album with a host of current and classic country artists filling in where Cash, who passed away in 2003, could not. D'Ambrosio also wrote the book 2009 book, A Heartbeat and a Guitar: Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears, which was clearly the inspiration for the documentary, so…

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Johnny and Friends

Max SchindlerNew DVD release, , , , ,
Like The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series (6 DVD Set Collector's Edition), previously reviewed right here, Time-Life's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Johnny and Friends is a remarkable set of complete Tonight Show episodes from the Nineteen Seventies-‘90s, rather than a clip display of highlights, so entire in reality that these 28 full shows consist of all of the unique (community) commercials, that are sometimes captivating all by means of themselves. It's every other fantastic, nicely selected set, and although I've barely cracked its monstrous content material, I'm having a grand vintage time watching these shows.…

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series (6 DVD Set)

Max SchindlerNew DVD release, , , , ,
DVD Talk Collector Series We have no idea why Time-Life chose to send us a screener of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: The Vault Series (6 DVD Set Collector's Edition). It appears to be a very slight repackaging of a set they released three years ago, but this reviewer is nonetheless more than happy to sing its praises. After Carson left the program in 1992, excerpts have turned up on places like YouTube, and there have been DVD clip show releases. This, however, is altogether different, a boxed set of 12 complete shows (along with some bonus clips) running…
