Taken

Posted : 5 months, 3 weeks ago on 13 May 2009 02:51 (A review of Taken)

This is a very solid movie. If you are a fan of the Jason Bourne series, this movie will be right up your alley. Liam Neeson plays a dedicated father that is willing (and able) to do any and everything to rescue his daughter from the hands of Albanian sex traders. The story is about as straightforward as it gets and the action is realistic and unrelenting. This disc contains the rated (PG-13) and unrated versions of the film and a few forced trailers. I opted for the single disc edition because I found that the features contained in the 2-disc set (20 minutes of standard fluff plus commentaries) didn't justify the extra $7. Go get this movie or "I WILL find you, I WILL kill you."

Indy 4 Baby!!!

Posted : 1 year ago on 15 October 2008 07:33 (A review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Two-Disc Special Edition))

While not the strongest entry of the franchise, "Skull" is worthy of the Indy name. Upon watching the features, I was amazed at how much was shot practically. There were some scenes in the theater that I swore were CGI. Example, every scene where Indy cracked the whip. I thought that the whip was CG. Then to different camera shots of Indy wrapping up a machine gun, it suddenly hit me that the old man actually still had the goods! Great flick!!

I Am Iron Man

Posted : 1 year ago on 10 October 2008 08:58 (A review of Iron Man (Two-Disc Special Collectors' Edition))

2008's "Iron Man" was, to say the least, a commercial and critical success. And for good reason. It has everything that a summer blockbuster could ask for. Action, plot, believable characters, heart, etc, etc. There is almost nothing that this movie could be criticized for. To put it simply, if you love movies, you'll love Iron Man.
