This was a really good movie, my wife and I loved it! As personal fans of tattoo artwork, we really enjoyed it. This film does a great job of mixing ancient tribal tattoo heritage with modern day tattoo art in a nice little horror movie. If you're a movie collector like me, then you're probably tired of sifting through the hundreds of horror movies that go straight to DVD, and trying to figure out which ones are a hit or a miss. This ones a hit! It has a great storyline, good acting, and decent special effects. It's very intriguing and definitely worth the buy. I highly recommend it! Also, some other good under-the-radar movies are Crowley, Laid to Rest, and The Burrowers.
What's great about it: Very intriguing with a great twist at the end.

This is an amazingly brilliant film! One of my wife and I's favorite movies! This is the immortal journey of one man who refuses to lose his soul mate throughout an epic 1,000 year period. This movie is very artistically dream-like, and very powerful. Hugh Jackman is fantastic in this movie. I highly recommend this film! Also, from writer/ director Darren Aronofsky, you should check out The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream.

This is a great movie, my wife and I loved it! It's very entertaining and very intriguing. I'm a huge fan of Edward Norton, and he's fantastic in this movie, (as usual.) This movie has a great plot, great acting, great suspense, and a great ending. I highly recommend it! Also, if you like this movie, I recommend The Prestige and Lord of Illusions.

This is a very interesting movie, my wife and I loved it! We are huge fans of the X-files, so obviously we were watching it for Mulder, oh! excuse me, David Duchovny. This film has a very twisted plot. It's based off of a novel and a Japanese adaptation. It's about a guy whose wife and daughter are in a car accident, the mother dies but her soul goes into the daughter. It's very similar in plot to the movie Possession. This is a very intriguing movie, I highly recommend it! Also, if you're a Duchovny fan, as we are, you should check out Playing God.
What's great about it: David Duchovny, and a twisted plot!
Although John Pieplow directed Strangeland, the draw on the DVD is writer, producer, and star Dee Snider. The film is presented in a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles on this release. Supplemental materials include a theatrical trailer, a music video, and a commentary track by the former Twisted Sister lead singer. Horror enthusiasts and Snider fans will want to give this disc a look.

This is a great movie, one of my wife and I's favorites! Dee Snider's the man! He wrote, produced and starred in this movie. For those of you unfamiliar with Dee Snider, he's the lead singer and frontman of Twisted Sister. This is an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller in the tradition of Seven and Silence of the Lambs. Also starring Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm St.) and Kevin Gage (Heat, Laid to Rest). I highly recommend this movie, and it's soundtrack! Also, if you like this film, I recommend Anamorph, Perfume, and Untraceable. And, another film by a famous band member is Crowley, written by and soundtrack by Bruce Dickinson (lead singer of Iron Maiden), great movie!

This movie was terrible! The only reason I didn't give it one star is because of the plot. I could tell they were trying. I knew going into this film it wasn't done by the same director, Tarsem Singh, and it wasn't going to be nearly as good as the first one. My wife and I loved the first one and didn't want to set our standards too high for this one. So, we tried watching it as its own film, not as a sequel. It was still bad! First of all, the acting was terrible! It was like watching a 'B' movie. Second, the special effects were those cheesy obviously computer generated special effects. This film is like watching a Sci-Fi Channel original movie. (Even thier movies are better than this.) Plus, this movie was just boring. You new everything that was going to happen before it happened. This was a poor attempt at a sequel to a great movie! In fact, this film was practically an insult to the first film, it's not even really a sequel. It has nothing to do with the first one! I do not recommend this film! If you're a fan of the first one, then leave it at that! This film is just a disappointment!
The DVD edition of The One is gorgeous and packed with extras. Picture quality is crisp and clean, and the colors are excellent. The viewer is offered the choice of widescreen presentation, preserving the theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1, or a modified full-screen view. Audio is available in English or French, but subtitling features a whopping five languages: English, French, Chinese, Korean, or Thai. Director commentary is fairly interesting, including comments on production choices, special effects, and the like. The commentators are director James Wong, production designer David Snyder, cinematographer Robert McLachlan, and editor James Coblentz. This means a great deal of attention to the technical side of the film, which is pretty interesting stuff. The behind-the-scenes features emphasize this aspect as well, although from different angles: "Jet Li Is the One" provides some general information (including the fact that this film was originally supposed to star The Rock); "Multiverses Create the One" emphasizes the special effects and wire work; and "About Face" goes into some detail as to how the filmmakers got Jet Li to fight himself. The audio on all of these is somewhat imbalanced, so at times it's hard to hear what people are saying; fortunately, this problem does not extend to the film. The scene selection navigation is a little confusing, but overall, the features and extras are nicely integrated into this package, with the option of turning the commentary on and off with only a few presses of the button.

This was a great sci-fi/ action movie! (Especially, if you like physics.) My wife and I loved it! We're huge fans of Jet Li and Jason Statham. The plot for this film is very unique. The special effects were great, the acting was great, and it had a great ending. One of a kind movie. I highly recommend it! Also, with these two actors is the movie War, which was really good.
What's great about it: The plot, the acting, the special effects, everything!

My wife and I love this movie! "Carrots. They're good for the eyes." Clive Owen was hilarious! This is a fast paced, funny, over blown action movie. What more could you ask for? Some people didn't like this film and said it was full of unrealistic action scenes. Duh, that's the point! It's suppose to be over blown. The name is Shoot'em Up! It even says on the back, 'shamelessly over-the-top'! This is an action comedy, much like Snakes on a Plane and The Spirit. This movie is funny and fun to watch. I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: Very funny and full of action.

My wife and I love this movie! We're fans of the two main characters, Clive Owen and Naomi Watts. This film was very intriguing and keeps you guessing. It's very fast paced and fun to watch. If you want a good edge-of-your-seat action movie with an indepth plot, then you need to get this. I highly recommend it! Also, another good action movie with Clive Owen is Shoot'em Up.
