Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 Review: Reboot Fits a Flatfoot More Than a Bigfoot

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 review contains spoilers. Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 comes back even more serious than the first volume. The theme music may have a new arrangement which forebodes horrifying tales, but the telling has become even further removed from the overwrought drama of the original series which aired from 1987 to 2010. I have to admit, I miss the cheese of the gravelly melodrama which host Robert Stack exposed from under his raincoat. The crimes are exactly as promised, they are mysterious and open. But the Netflix series is almost too forensic in its unraveling, and…

Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 Trailer Showcases Horror

New DVD release, , , , ,
The first thing you might notice in Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 trailer is the music. The familiar theme of the original, classic series, has been twisted into a cross between the themes to the film Halloween and The Exorcist. We can still make out the melody, but it is far more haunting in its new mix. The same can be said of the show. The new iteration Unsolved Mysteries is haunting and serious, avoiding some of the cheesier aspects which endeared viewers to the original, which began airing in 1987. Unsolved Mysteries Volume 1 featured six episodes which began…

I Got You Babe: The Best of Sonny and Cher Volume 1

New DVD release,
Recommended I can never get enough of old musical and comedy variety shows these days. I remember them being rather cheesy from what I can remember of their original airings, but they are yet another thing that gets better with age. There were many of these throughout the 1960s and 70s, anchored by star hosts with a never-ending parade of different guest stars every week to do their own musical numbers and join in the comedy sketches. Sonny and Cher were two of the biggest stars in this genre- in 1971 they were set to take up residency for a…

Gunsmoke: The Fifteenth Season, Volume Two

New DVD release, , ,
Highly Recommended Not hot on its heels but still less than a year after the CBS/Paramount release of Gunsmoke: The Thirteenth Season comes Season Fourteen. After assuming for years that the DVD format would be dead long before the label's run made it to The Twentieth and Final Season of Gunsmoke, I'm actually starting to think they might just make it, at least they can if they manage to crank out the last the last six years over the next three or so. As headlines continue to herald the end of hard media (e.g., Samsung's announcement about stopping manufacturing of…

Gunsmoke: The Thirteenth Season, Volume One

Max SchindlerNew DVD release, , ,
Highly Recommended After another excruciatingly long delay for Gunsmoke fans, CBS/Paramount has released in two volumes the long-running Western series' thirteenth of twenty seasons to DVD. Whether they'll ever get around to releasing the final seven is anyone's guess. Despite the best efforts by the big entertainment conglomerates to kill the Golden Goose, hard media dies hard, with collectors, libraries, and a surprisingly robust market in many foreign countries keeping it going, despite the popularity of streaming media. (Here in Japan, for instance, video rental stores are still commonplace. Gasp!)That the DVD market would go into sharp decline neatly midway…

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXIX

Max SchindlerNew DVD release, , , ,
Recommended The Movies:It's a bitter sweet day for Mystery Science Theater fans...Shout! Factory has released the last (probably) collection ofepisodes from the original run of the show. While it's great thatthree new episodes (and a disc of bonus material... more on thatlater) are out on DVD, it's sad that there are eleven installmentsthat have never been released, and probably never will be, becauseof copyright issues. Still, these three shows from the Mike yearsare solid, and the set, rather aptly, includes the very lastepisode.The shows included in this set are:Experiment 601 - Girls Town:Mike (referring to Mel Torme): He's like a…
