Although there have been many instances where copyrighted films were generously made available for free online by the creators, the pool had to diminish at some point. Thankfully, the Library of Congress has …

Once again, I find myself discovering more and more free downloadable movie commentaries long after I thought I’d posted the final installment in the series: Although Dr. Action and The Kick Ass Kid specialize in commentaries on action movies, they have been known to do ones for sci-fi films like Dark Angel (aka I Come …
