DVD Review: Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia

What happens when professional wrestlers enter the acting arena? Stone Cold has done one fairly well; John Cena has two under his belt. Dwayne “The Rock“ Johnson has such a lucrative career acting he doesn‘t wrestle any more. And Hulk Hogan, well he‘s The Hulkster. Next on the list of possible future action stars, at least if Vince McMahon has his way, is Ken “Mr. Kennedy” Anderson.

DVD Review: Mystery Science Theater 3000 : Volume XIV

I have always watched bad movies. They are just one of those odd joys that will always exist as long as there are movies. Some are cheaply made, some are poorly written, and some just come together to be crap. But throw in a good riffing throughout and you have an even greater joy, Mystery Science Theater 3000. I grew up watching MST3k, and loved every episode. These guys, either Joel or Mike and their robot friends Crow and Tom Servo would sit through the world’s worst movies and make fun of them. This was a weekly joy for me, and my friends. It was absolutely great.

DVD Review: Top Secret! (1984)

Paramount brings you another classic movie in their “I Love the 80’s” on DVD series.

Val Kilmer has had a few ups and down over his 25 year acting career. He has turned in some amazing performances such as Jim Morrison in “The Doors”, and Doc Holiday in “Tombstone”. He’s also starred in some major crapfests (I’m looking at you “Mindhunters”!). Before all of this, he kicked off his Hollywood career with a pair of brilliant comedies, the most well known of the two being “Real Genius”. The other being the 1984 WWII spy flick spoof Top Secret!.

Blu-ray and DVD Review: Hulk Vs!

Lighting strikes twice with the new dual disc DVD and Blu-ray releases of Hulk Vs. Marvel is kind enough to give us not one, but two different battles featuring the Hulk Vs Wolverine and the Hulk Vs Thor!

Hulk Vs Wolverine
Based on the trailer that Lionsgate released, we were lead to believe that this movie would focus on the original story of Hulk Vs Wolverine from Hulk 181 (which was Wolverine’s first appearance). In reality, the film is a great fight between the two character but has a different focus:

DVD Review: Pineapple Express

From the creators of Superbad and Knocked Up comes the new comedy Pineapple Express which is now available on DVD!

Story

The film tells the story of Stoner/Process Server Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) who delivers a subpoena to accused Drug Lord Ted Jones (Gary Cole). Denton catches Jones in the act of murdering someone and takes off from the scene, but in the process ditches a roach at the scene of the crime. Well, this was not any ordinary weed mind you, this was the incredibly rare strain called “Pineapple Express”. Jones is able to identify the roach and tracks down a man named Red (Danny McBride), who happens to be the only distributor of Express in town. Red gives in and reveals that he has only sold it to a burnt out named Saul Silver (James Franco). Dale has of course fled to Saul’s place to hide and is immediately found by Jones’ men (Craig Robinson and Kevin Corrigan) and hilarity ensues.

DVD Review: Saw V (Unrated Director’s Cut)

I watched the first three Saw films and enjoyed them fully. Now they weren’t the best movies ever, but they were an enjoyable, yet gruesome way to spend the 90 minutes or so that each one takes to watch. I naturally assumed that the films would end after Jigsaw died at the end of Saw III, but they continued on with Saw IV. I personally chose to skip Saw IV due to that fact. Last year they made their way to Saw V and it is out on DVD on Jan. 20th.
