Over/Under: ‘Raging Bull’ vs ‘Diggstown’
Features By Nathan Adams on October 11, 2011 | Comments (6)Sitting at a formidable and weighty 98% on Rotten Tomatoes is legendary director Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull, a biopic of Jake LaMotta, a 40s era boxer who was nicknamed “The Raging Bull” because of his short fuse and aggressive style in the ring. Michael Ritchie isn’t a legendary director. Despite the fact that he’s made movies like The Bad News Bears and Fletch, I’ve never even heard someone bring his name up in a conversation. And his attempt at a boxing movie, 1992’s Diggstown, is sitting at a paltry 54% on Rotten Tomatoes, derided and then forgotten by a cruel world unwilling to look past the ridiculous shirt and tie combinations James Woods wears in the film. This injustice will not stand.
This Week in Blu-ray: Raging Bulls, Social Networks, 3D Piranha and Criterion on Mars
Features By Neil Miller on January 11, 2011 | Comments (1)In this edition of This Week in Blu-ray, we’re going travelin’. We will take a trip to Mars, where a resourceful astronaut has been stranded and must breath with the aid of yellow rocks. We will head out west, where the story for Avatar was birthed by Kevin Costner. We will head back in time, when things were simple and Facebook didn’t rule our lives. And we will travel to a miscellaneous Spring Break destination, where a bunch of agitated pre-historic Characiformes are waiting to take a bite out of our favorite porn stars’ silicon implants. And Jerry O’Connell’s junk. Of course this will all make sense, as long as you hit ‘read more’ below and check out this week’s Blu-ray slate.

With Jay Baruchel’s upcoming project Goon, he and fellow writer Evan Goldberg are looking to incorporate the grittiness of Raging Bull into a comedy about hockey. Which is basically his way of saying he wants to remake D3: The Mighty Ducks without pissing off the Emilio Estevez fanbase.
