Re: "In which our critic embraces the Super Mario Bros. movi

Haven't read it yet, but at a glance, I see no mention of the site here. Still, good to see someone come to the movie's defense on a fairly prominent site.

Original Ending to "Election" Found on Unlabeled VHS

Much like the situation with Blue Velvet I posted about yesterday, it seems as if an original and vastly different ending to the clever Reese Witherspoon/Matthew Broderick film "Election" was found on an unlabeled VHS tape at a flea market. This VHS contained a workprint of the film with t...

The Cars of Super Mario Bros.

Considering all the work they put into making the cars for the movie (as per David Snyder's comments) it's good to see that the vehicles are cataloged by make and model on the IMCDb, seen here.

This is actually a really great idea. In our as-of-yet unpublished interview with David Snyder he really pushed for a remaster and 3D conversion of the movie.
