Belushi Review: Showtime’s Look at John Belushi Is Almost Definitive

New DVD release, , , ,
The world got to know John Belushi’s eyebrows before we got to know the man. They projected his innermost confusion, telegraphed his thought processes, and misdirected his most sincere intentions. Showtime’s heartfelt and intimate documentary, Belushi, opens with clips from the comic icon’s screen test for Saturday Night Live. Armed with just his face, he lets those eyebrows steal the scene. They cajole, caress, and careen across the bottom of his brow, culminating in a series of aerobic stretches with a gymnast’s flair. Belushi didn’t have to crack a joke, he barely had to say a word, and yet showed…

Mafia Definitive Edition Review: Lost Heaven Has Never Looked Better

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Jumping into this revitalized take on 2002’s gangster classic I had one question: Can Hangar 13 actually make a good Mafia game? The 2K-owned developer was previously given full reign over the franchise with 2016’s Mafia III. And though the story was rightfully lauded for its themes and well-drawn ensemble cast, the repetitive open world and by-the-numbers mission design left a lot to be desired. How does one overcome this setback? Seemingly not by innovating per se, but rather by going back to the beginning and restoring the original game using a 2020 coat of paint. Turns out this was…

Mafia: Definitive Edition Gameplay Preview Showcases Impressive Remake

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Developer Hangar 13 has released an extensive (and stunning) gameplay preview of Mafia: Definitive Edition. The preview’s primary message seems to be that Mafia: Definitive Edition will retain as much of the original game as the team feels is possible and necessary. As mentioned in this gameplay preview, Hangar 13 is especially interested in retaining and reviving the memorable missions from 2002’s Mafia.

That said, this is a remake of the original game, which means that…

Ernie Kovacs: Take A Good Look: The Definitive Collection

Max SchindlerNew DVD release, , ,
DVD Talk Collector Series The Show: Ernie Kovacs was a pioneer, an innovator in the realm of early TV comedy, who has morphed into a cult figure over the years. Most folks have probably missed out on Ernie's best bits, and if you have, I recommend checking out The Ernie Kovacs Collection, Volumes One and Two. These lovely box sets were released by Shout! Factory roughly five years ago, and they offer a thorough survey of Ernie's varied and all-too-brief career. (He was killed in a car crash at age 42.)Now, Shout! Factory is releasing a (nearly) complete set of…
