xXx:State Of The Union

October 1, 2008 // 0 Comments

Lee Tamahori is the director of a respectful handful of films including "The Edge" from 1997 and the James Bond film "Die Another Day" from 2002. "xXx: State Of The Union" is, of course, the 2005 sequel to the Vin Diesel film [...]

Half Past Dead

September 23, 2008 // 0 Comments

Don Michael Paul directed his first feature film in 2002 with the forgettable Steven Seagal action film "Half Past Dead" and quickly went back to television. He is also the one responsible for writing the almost impossibly stupid script, [...]

Belly

"Belly" is the first and only feature film from 1998 directed by the somewhat legendary music video director Hype Williams. Personally I hope Hype Williams makes some more films, especially after listening to the commentary, in which I gained a [...]

David Mamet is the type of director who has grown on me over the years. His unpredictable output is often either widely hailed or universally panned. He brought us his masterwork with an excellent and award winning play "Glengary Glen Ross", [...]

I knew absolutely nothing about "Doomsday" until recently a press release appeared indicating the film would appear on DVD and Blu-Ray. I had not caught any theatrical buzz or trailers and as such the film was a complete novelty to me. It [...]

Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition

Warner Home Video couldn't give fans a better present than a full blown "Dirty Harry" box set in high definition, containing each of the five movies in new 1080p transfers, but also including a number of gizmos. It is as if Christmas [...]

Fool's Gold

June 17, 2008 // 0 Comments

A light-hearted action adventure set in the sunny Bahamas is something that will always catch my eye. If it involves treasure hunting and Matthew McConaughey, I'm sold. Therefore I was eager to take a look at Warner Home Video's Blu-Ray version [...]

In the post-9/11 world, it seems that people have been growing increasingly more suspicious of their governments and the media's representations of them. Ideals of freedom are called into question with every political event, and liberals and [...]
