One of the Worst Movies Ever!
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' is one of the worst movies ever made, but unlike its competition, it at least has a semi-redeemable storyline. For those who love watching movies that are deemed some of the worst ever, this one's for you.

Randal Kleiser's Honey I Blew Up the Kid comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This Disney/Buena/Vista release is difficult to recommend to anyone other than a person on the lookout for family-friendly entertainment.

Acceptable Sequel
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
This sequel to 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids,' isn't quite as impressive as its predecessor, but it's still acceptable entertainment, especially for kids. Full-screen presentation, no bonus features.

The brief but eventful life of actor and martial arts trailblazer Bruce Lee is portrayed in this drama, based on a biography written by his widow Linda Lee Caldwell. Lee is introduced to the study of martial arts as a child living in Hong Kong by his father (Ric Young); the father dreamed that a demonic armored dragon would take his son from him, and wanted young Bruce to be able to protect himself. Bruce continues his training as he grows to adulthood, and after the cocky teenaged Lee (Jason Scott Lee, no relation to Bruce) seriously injures a prominent British citizen while fighting a gang of troublemakers at a dance, he's sent to San Francisco. While working as a dishwasher, Bruce begins to study philosophy, and in time develops a personal martial arts discipline, Jeet Kune-Do, which blends Kung Fu fighting techniques with lessons gained from his philosophical research. Bruce decides to open a martial arts academy on the advice of his fiancée Linda (Lauren Holly); Linda and Bruce encounter resistance as a mixed-race couple, especially from Linda's mother Vivian (Michael Learned), and Bruce earns the enmity of traditional Chinese martial arts experts for his new style. But after a strong showing in several public tournaments, Bruce's fighting skill and charisma attracts the attention of TV producer Bill Krieger (Robert Wagner). Bruce is cast as Kato, the karate-trained sidekick on the series The Green Hornet, and while the show is short-lived in America, it's a huge success in Asia, leading to a series of films based around Bruce's remarkable fighting skills. Sadly, shortly before the release of the film that would make him a major screen star in the United States, Enter The Dragon, a mysterious brain disorder sends Lee into a coma that soon kills him. In a tragedy with eerie timing, Bruce Lee's real-life son Brandon Lee died shortly before this film was released, the result of an accidental shooting while completing the picture The Crow.

Not Entirely Accurate, But Entertaining!
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
To the best of my knowledge, there are several aspects of this movie that are historically inaccurate. However, that's to expect since this is a movie, not a documentary. Very entertaining, and with a good cast, 'Dragon' makes for an enjoyable experience, especially for those who are fans of the late, famed martial artist. Excellent dvd package here, recommended!

When an evil snowman is resurrected in a horrific lab accident, even anti-freeze won't bring his reign of terror to a close in Unapix's chilly sequel to the winter horror hit Jack Frost. Presented in 1.33:1 full-frame and offering audio rendered in English Dolby Digital 5.1, this release also offers a variety of bonus materials. Extras include a director's commentary track, behind-the-scenes footage, an interview with the director, a music video spoof, and trailers.

Another Dishonorable Mention
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I generally find horror films worthless and stupid, and it's been years since I watched my last. I think in my whole life, I've probably seen 3 or 4 movies of the genre that were even remotely worthwhile. But here we go again with, 'Jack Frost 2,' a ridiculous movie about a killer snowman?! This movie has the second worst dvd insert-cover I've ever seen ('Jack Frost' is the worst). And just like its predecessor, this is an incredibly bad movie that isn't worth the filmstock it was shot on, but here it is...in widescreen?!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

In this low-budget horror outing, a psychopathic killer loses the last of his warm feelings for humanity after he is involved in a freak accident.

The Dvd Cover is Worth 1,000 Laughs
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I'm not at all a fan of horror films, and it's not a genre I even bother watching, let alone recommend. But 'Jack Frost,' a movie about a killer snowman, gets a dishonorable mention from me as having the most ridiculous dvd insert-cover I've ever seen! It's also an incredibly bad movie that isn't worth the filmstock it was shot on (trust me, I've seen it)...Don't bother wasting your time or money on this one, but do get a good laugh at the dvd cover!

This Movie Deserves Better Dvd Treatment
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Considering the popularity of this film, and the work that went into its special effects, it's a shame that Disney has released it in a full-screen bare bones format. This is one movie that deserves a much better dvd release.

Elliott Hong directs Johnny Yune in the martial arts comedy They Call Me Bruce? Yune plays an immigrant who everyone refers to as "Bruce," because he reminds everyone of Bruce Lee. Bruce unknowingly works for a gangster making cocaine drop-offs. The film shows Bruce interacting with a variety of American stereotypes, and then figuring out how his bosses are using him.

Humorous Low Budget Movie
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
Johnny Yune is hilarious in this awful movie about an immigrant who comes to the U.S. and is unknowingly working as a delivery man for a narcotics dealer. Everyone refers to him as 'Bruce,' because he's asian, and because 'Bruce Lee' was one of very few asian Hollywood Stars of the era, it's simply an easy association. The kicker is, unlike the man in which he's being associated with, this 'Bruce,' isn't a martial arts expert, but tries to come off as being so in order to avoid getting beat up. This movie is one of those that's really so bad, it's good! Nothing impressive on this dvd here, which isn't much of a surprise considering the caliber of film it was (I'm sure fans are just happy to see it got a dvd release). Surprisingly, the sequel, 'They Still Call Me Bruce,' which was a much better movie than this first one, has yet to debut on dvd in any way, shape, or form.

Kevin Bacon takes on small-minded small-town folks in the name of dancing in this popular pop-musical, which gets an appreciative presentation for this DVD release. This edition of Footloose has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The original English-language soundtrack appears in two formats, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Stereo, while a dubbed French soundtrack is mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Optional subtitles in English and Spanish are also included. Bonus materials include a commentary track from star Kevin Bacon, another commentary from screenwriter Dean Pitchford and producer Craig Zadan, the film's original trailer, a two-part documentary on the making of Footloose, and a look at the songs used in the film.

'Footloose' is a movie that just failed to intrigue me in any sense. It's not a bad picture, it's just not one I would find myself watching often. However, for the people that do enjoy the film, this collector's dvd is well worth the buy, and has several bonus features not on the previous dvd incarnation.

Talk about a disc with just about everything. Dreamworks Home Entertainment's two-disc set of the animated fairy tale comedy Shrek is a tour de force of digital splendor. The first disc contains the full-screen version of the film, an amusing Shrek's Revoice Studio (for DVD-ROM users only) that allows viewers to dub in their own voice over that of the character's, a 24-minute HBO behind-the-scenes featurette, a couple of silly games (like Ask the Magic Mirror) which should be fun for the kids and no one else, and speaking of kids, there is "DWK: Dreamworks Kids -- This Way to Play!" This supplement is an easy-to-navigate collection of 15 games, videos, and more. The film itself looks fantastic, with much detail and an overall excellent transfer. The disc has been given an equally stupendous English-language 5.1 Dolby Digital track, as well as a 2.0 Surround one. Spanish and French 2.0 tracks have also been included. Disc two contains the letterboxed version of the film (shown at 1.78:1) and has likewise been given an English-language 5.1 and 2.0 track, though a DTS option is also available. The French and Spanish tracks are available in 5.1 as well. The sound and picture look great and offer up this technically marvelous film in all the best ways. The detail and colors are consistent and really showcase what a film like this can do for the home theater. This disc also contains a breezy commentary track with some of the filmmakers involved with the film. The track is enjoyable, though heavy with technical tidbits. The disc also includes some behind-the-scenes featurettes (like how one pitches an idea to a board of producers), some rather funny "technical goofs," an amusing look at how the film was re-dubbed all over the world, production storyboards, and a whole lot more.

Great Dvd, Average Movie
on May 5, 2008
Posted by: kevman79
I wasn't really all that impressed with 'Shrek.' I heard great things about it, but upon seeing it, just didn't get what all the hype was about. If it's any consolation though, let me just say it's not a bad movie, and this is a good dvd, with plenty of bonus features the kids will get a kick out of.

Mask, Peter Bogdanovich's tale of a disfigured boy and his unconventional mother, gets a new soundtrack with this DVD release. Featuring songs by Bruce Springsteen that were not in the original theatrical presentation, the film is presented in widescreen anamorphic that creates an image with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, and Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a feature-length commentary recorded by the director as well as an interview with him. Even though his directorial skills have eroded over the years, Bogdanovich remains an excellent storyteller and his comments are engaging.

Heartwarming

Similar in certain ways to 'The Elephant Man,' 'Mask' presents a touching story full of good performances, especially that of Eric Stoltz. Anamorphic widescreen presentation with bonus director's commentary. Recommended!
