3D is back once more to highlight a movie that you may not have see.  This week’s recommendation is the 2005 film “Brick.”  If you are like me, then you missed this when it first came out a few years ago, and that is a shame because this movie is fascinating.

Along with fresh new director Rian Johnson (“The Brothers Bloom”), the movie had several young stars such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“500 Days of Summer”), Emilie de Ravin (“Lost”), Nora Zehetner (“Everwood”), and Lucas Haas (“Witness”).  Trust me when I …

Hey guys, 3D is celebrating the recent return of Rooster Teeth programing with a double DVD recommendation of their related series.  For anyone interested in their new series “Revelation,” you really need to see the “Recreation” DVD.  They are both part of the continuing Red vs Blue adventures.  For those that do not know, Red vs Blue is a machinima series set in the Halo universe that follows two groups of completely incompetent soldiers and their wacky shenanigans.  It is very funny, but don’t watch it with the kids because it …

To wrap up my month of Western movie recommendations, I decided to suggest one of BAM’s favorites: the 1968 film “The Scalphunters.”  Burt Lancaster, Telly Savalas, Ossie Davis, Shelley Winters, and Dabney Coleman star in this movie, which was directed by Sydney Pollack.  Maybe that’s why this film is so different.

The film is about a white trapper (Lancaster) who is forced by a group of crafty Indians to swap his whole winter’s worth of trapped furs for an escaped slave (Davis).  The two of them spend the rest of the …

3D is back to continue a month of Western movie recommendations.  As promised, this week’s suggestion is just a little more serious than the comedies I’ve been featuring.  It is the 1966 Western with a Mexican flair, “The Professionals.”

First of all, let’s look at the cast list: Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, and Woody Strode are the titular “Professionals,” but there is also Jack Palance, Claudia Cardinale, and Ralph Bellamy.  The plot involves “The Professionals” being hired by a millionaire to rescue his wife from a Mexian bandit.  …

Hey loyal readers, it’s week two of my month of Western movie recommendations.  This week’s movie is the 1965 comedy Western “Hallelujah Trail.”   (Yes, I know I recommended an older Western comedy last week as well.  I promise next week’s suggestion will be more serious.)

For this week’s film, half the recommendation is done for me just by listing the cast: Burt Lancaster, Lee Remick, Donald Pleasance, Brian Keith, and Martin Landau are just some of the stars in this.  The whole movie concerns a huge wagon train full of whiskey that is …

3D back once more for your weekly movie recommendation.  For the month of March, I’ve chosen to feature all Westerns.  To kick things off, I thought I’d start with a movie staring a wonderful Oklahoma-born actor, James Garner.  (If you don’t like James Garner, you should just stop reading now because we have nothing in common!)

The 1969 film “Support Your Local Sheriff” is a wonderful example of the comedic Westerns that were common in the 60′s.  (All the Westerns in recent history have been so dark and serious…)  I …

Once again, 3D is here with your movie recommendation for the week.  This week’s film is a wonderful little gem from 1961 called “One, Two, Three.”  It’s a Billy Wilder picture with a tour de force performance by James Cagney.  Unfortunately for fans of great acting, Cagney had such a bad time making this movie that he retired from acting for 20 years. 

The movie is set in Germany right after the Berlin Wall was built.  It concerns a Coca-Cola executive (Cagney) and his attempts to open the Russian market …

3D here with your movie recommendation for the week.  This week I’ve gone old school with master of cool Steve McQueen’s 1968 detective drama “Bullitt.”  Now everyone knows this movie for the car chase naturally, and it is one cool chase.  McQueen actually driving his mustang makes for a realism you just don’t get from movies anymore.  (However, the continuity errors make it a little unbelievable.  Just for fun, play an old family game and count how many times the two main cars in the chase pass the same VW …

3D is back again to give you movie recommendations.  As before, they may be popular movies you might not have seen in some time or they might be something you’ve never even heard of.  For many people, I’m guessing my recommendations for today fall into that second category.  After all, movies that consist almost entirely of one man at a desk talking are not the usual Saturday night entertainment. 

Spalding Gray was a noted monologist whose witty, acerbic, and sometimes melancholy style was so appreciated that some of his …

Hello loyal readers.  I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.  I’m back to finish off our month of heist movie recommendations with an unusual choice.  It’s “The Thomas Crown Affair,” but instead of the original I think you need to see the 1999 remake starring Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo and Denis Leary.  (I’m assuming you’ve already seen the classic 1968 Steve McQueen/ Faye Dunaway film, and if you haven’t, you definitely should.)

However, I’m recommending the remake here because I know many people don’t give remakes a chance (admittedly, …
