Sunshine

Sunshine

If you’re like me, you missed Sunshine in theaters, maybe because it looked a little bit like 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is the only movie that ever made me want to cut my wrists to avoid watching the remaining 48 hours of it (felt that long).

American Pie Presents: Beta House

American Pie Presents: Beta House

As the second direct-to-DVD sequel to the theatrical blockbusters, American Pie: Beta House at the very least delivers in the T&A department…

Jackass 2.5

Jackass 2.5

Penis biting snakes, flipping golf carts, and pooing in a plumbing store. If these things interest you, then Jackass 2.5 is your DVD.

Captain N and the New Super Mario World

Captain N and the New Super Mario World

A poorly thought out animation “experience” from the early 90s that saw a variety of Nintendo licensed characters battling other various Nintendo licensed characters.

Superbad (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition)

Superbad (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition)

With multiple storylines, a funky theme song and animated credits, Superbad would have made a good T.V. show. Imagine Freaks and Geeks with South Park crudeness.

The Bourne Ultimatum

The Bourne Ultimatum

The third title in a series is like middle age for movies. By now audiences know what to expect.

Zodiac (2 Disc Director’s Cut)

Zodiac (2 Disc Director’s Cut)

David Fincher’s Zodiac may not the film his fans and critics expected — but it was certainly good.

The Chronological Donald Duck Vol. 3

The shorts collected in The Chronological Donald: Volume Three are uneven, ranging from the lovely to the disposable.

Harry Potter Interactive Game

Harry Potter Interactive Game

With the exception of an archive release that was made for laserdisc originally (like Dragon’s Lair), I’ve always found DVD games to be awkward and hard to play.

The Heartbreak Kid

The Heartbreak Kid

The plot is ridiculous, the characters largely unlikable, and the comedy is forced.

The Kingdom

The Kingdom

This is still, in my opinion, the best action film of the year. It’s an intense, riveting cinematic experience I won’t soon forget.

Wish Gone Amiss: A Trifecta from Disney Channel Hell

Wish Gone Amiss: A Trifecta from Disney Channel Hell

When the Fedex guy came round my nest of vipers with the latest DVD offerings, he handed me a copy of “Wish Gone Amiss,” a three episode set of Disney Channel sitcoms. I looked at them and thought, “Oh good, I needed a coaster.”

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

It’s official. Hollywood has run out of ways to milk Christmas for everything that it’s worth. I know because I have seen its end of days and it’s called “The Santa Clause 3.”

Balls of Fury

Balls of Fury

Let me be honest right off the bat – this movie looked like ass. I mean, ping pong?

Eastern Promises

Eastern Promises

Upon watching David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises a second time, I felt like I got no new food for thought out of the film.

Bring It On: In It to Win It

Bring It On: In It to Win It

When the original Bring It On came out on video, I begrudgingly watched it with my wife. However, after seeing it, I found that I kinda liked it – and it wasn’t just because I was watching hot chicks bounce around in cheerleader uniforms.

Talespin – Volume 2

Talespin – Volume 2

It’s hard for me to believe and tough for me to accept that Talespin came on the air 17 years ago.
