| | Posted: | | | | It's a verb so should be capitalised, however I recently submitted a My Name is Earl profile with 'Is' not capitalised as that's how it was on the case. |

Surely the title is The Killing Machine? Actually no. The DVD cover, the credit block, the spline and the opening on-screen title is Dolph Lundgren Is the Killing Machine. original title is Icarus |

| | Posted: | | | | Agree.
"Is" is a verb and not a connecting word, therefore should be capitalized.

| | Posted: | | | | Yep. Only prepositions, articles and coordinating conjunctions should be lower-case. |
