Boring plot & movie
on March 27, 2008
Posted by: Layz
from Dallas (Oak Cliff), Tx
I thought it would be a good movie, since they had two from the Saw series making the movie, but sadly it didn't help at all. This movie was weak version of the late 90's series Puppet Masters.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fresh, just another in a series of "hood" movies, is lucky enough to receive the collector's series status from Miramax. The anamorphic transfer, a real strong point of this disc, is framed at 1.85:1, and represents the film nicely. Colors are reproduced effectively, while darker scenes show no sign of breakdown. Detail is equally outstanding and the real strength to the transfer. Unfortunately, the sound, which utilizes a Dolby Digital surround track, is weak. At times, the audio is unclear and distorted, quite possibly due to film's low budget. Also available is a French soundtrack and English closed captions. Though not quite as extensive as some other special editions, this DVD does feature some enjoyable supplements. The main point of interest is a commentary track with first-time director Boaz Yakin. He is well-spoken and very straightforward with valuable notes on all aspects of the film, from its history to the filmmaking process. Though the packaging claims to have a "behind-the-scenes featurette," it's barely that, lasting only two minutes, and not of much interest. In addition, there are seven storyboard-to-shot comparisons for a variety of different scenes, various cast auditions, and a fast-paced gag reel (which doesn't contain many gags, but is more or less a series of behind-the-scene shots) that runs five minutes.

Great harsh drug story
on March 27, 2008
Posted by: Layz
from Dallas (Oak Cliff), Tx
Most drug movies talk about a young man trying to make come up in the drug game, but to see it from 12 year old's eyes was just brilliant. A strong performance from young actor Sean Nelson, even his one-on-one with Samuel L. Jackson, he still show some range

Feeling bogged down by the trials of contemporary living? If you're just having one of those days where the world seems stacked against you, just sit back, relax, and follow Michael Douglas as he wages war on the frustrations of modern life in Warner Bros.' release of Falling Down. Viewable in either 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen (enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs) or standard 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan, this disc also offers a closed-captioned English Dolby Digital Surround audio track, a French Dolby Digital Surround track, and optional English and French subtitles. Extra features accompanying this chillingly humorous voyage into the troubled psyche of a disturbed soul include interactive trailers and an original theatrical trailer.

Finally a movie that shows what happens to a person who has had enough. Michael Douglass is brilliant as father trying to see his daughter on her birthday and no one is gonna stop him

A waste of time

This is the worst horror flick I ever saw. It was ridiculous with the off the wall CGI, plot, well pretty much everything. Its like I said in the review title, "A Waste Time."

A great love story that has no color lines
on March 26, 2008

I love this movie, because they tell a love stroy about two people that are opposite on all counts, but love brought them together. You get to see how most people react about interracial relationship.

Sleepy Hollow, Tim Burton's evocative, somewhat grisly adaptation of the classic Washington Irving story, comes to DVD with one of the most lavish and fully realized presentations yet for a Burton film. Starting with a widescreen, anamorphic transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 and Surround Audio, the disc also features extras like an engaging and informative commentary by Burton, cast and crew interviews, biographies/filmographies, a photo gallery, the theatrical trailers, and a "making of" featurette. The commentary and interviews are especially entertaining, revealing how much camaraderie Burton has with actors like Jeffrey Jones, Johnny Depp, and Christina Ricci. Though separate, more in-depth sections on how the film's special effects were achieved would have been nice, the featurette covers enough of Sleepy Hollow's behind-the-scenes work to make it worthwhile. Along with the DVDs of Edward Scissorhands and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, this disc plays to the strengths of Burton's quirky, visually striking directorial style -- and also suggests that deluxe versions of Batman and Batman Returns will be even more impressive.

Just in time for the XXX sequel comes this new Uncensored, Unrated Director's Cut version of the original Vin Diesel actioner, straight from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Featuring what could only be called the most audacious added scene in any DVD, this edition includes "The Final Chapter: The Death of Xander," which adds up to a newly shot four-minute death scene of Diesel's character (as played by body double Khristian Lupo). Featuring a fake-looking model in busty lingerie who spouts lines like "I'm gonna f*ck you until your eyes implode!" this shameless scene finds Xander blown up at the end as bad guys come back to collect a piece of his steaming bloody scalp -- yes, for real. Extras from previous versions have been carried over, including scores of featurettes on the stunts, production, and in-depth FX shots. The commentary with director Rob Cohen has been carried over as well, though the behind-the-scenes look at the sequel is new, along with an exclusive scene from the Ice Cube shoot-'em-up. The film itself is presented in an anamorphic 2.40:1 widescreen picture and pumped up with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. Peppered with eight additional, never-before-seen minutes, the movie is now bigger and certainly more extreme. This release is recommended for those that can't get enough of action madman Vin Diesel or for those that didn't buy any previous edition -- the rest can just rent it to see the death scene (it's just that good!).

Being Geto forever

I thought this was a great album that brought the original group (Bushwick Bill, Willie D, & Scarface) back together. This is a great album to listen to if you want to hear about Houston life in the late 90s

Great beat album

Missy Elliot is a triple threat, as rapper, singer, and producer, she couldn't make a bad album. The beats on this album are just ridiculous.

Okay album, but too many songs
on March 21, 2008
Posted by: Layz
from Dallas (Oak Cliff), Tx
With their third album, Bone came with a double cd and it would seem that they are running out of material to rap about. There only a couple of tracks that I thought were good. I did think they did too many songs and should cut this album done to a regular 13 track album. If you are a fan of Bone, than I would suggest to get it, but if not let it pass you by.
