Uh, yeah… I don’t really have anything to say for this one. Usually I don’t take the time to pop certain films into the database because – well – because I am the only one doing it, but I through this one in when it took top dramatic honors at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. So, I am guessing there is something good about it. Maybe someone out there can enlighten me…

The Weinstein’s first attempt at a CGI animated feature actually went over quite well with many critics even resident reviewer Laremy Legel [review here]. I still have not caught the pic, but I will be sure to do so on DVD. I have already been told it is a movie I should enjoy.
May 23rd
Hmmmmmmm, I wonder if the Unrated edition shows even more Kristanna Loken nude goodness? Honestly, isn’t that the reason people are going to see this pile of trash? Then again, I haven’t seen it so maybe there is something good here, but the fact that it was screened on a limited basis and pulled in only $2.4 million at the box-office leads me to believe that this is just one more in the Uwe Boll disaster column.
June 6th
Good Lord! No sooner than I am adding this film to the database and it is hitting theaters am I adding it to the DVD database. The only thing that interests me about this pic is that sexy lady Asia Argento directed it and stars in it. On top of that it is rated R and Asia has been known to flash the happy hats on occasion. This is in no way meant to belittle the possibility that this is a good film, I am just trying to find some initial motivation.
July 18th
Yup, that is Keira Knightley in that pic above and guess what… This bad boy made a whopping $102,471 at the domestic box-office. This is not to say that it is a bad picture, after all it probably showed on one screen in New York for a weekend. On top of that it was originally screened way back in 2002 at the Toronto Film Festival. Obviously it must not be a great picture, but if you want to check out an early flick from Miss Knightley this may be one to pick up.
June 13th
Yet again, another film I heard good things about and did not get a chance to see. Actually, I take that back, I did have a chance to see it but it didn’t fit my schedule and I wasn’t moving things around. Anyway, I did hear that Hopkins is great in this movie and if my schedule permits I may be trying to preview this one on DVD.
July 4th
Now this one looks interesting and stupid at the same time. Reviews were moderate on this one, but some people really enjoyed it. I don’t see myself beating down doors to get a screener, but I am sure it will be one I check out toward the July 4th holiday.
May 9th

June 6th
Just when you thought Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were going to adopt five more kids and fade off into the sunset Fox announces the release of the Unrated edition of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I actually do want to preview this one, but only because my screener copy of the original version had an ugly watermark on it and I HATE THAT SHIT!

Who didn’t know this was coming? On top of that, who wouldn’t mind adding this to their collection? I thought so. I am interested in checking out the special features on this bad boy and I can only hope they are better than the special features that were included in MGM’s re-release of the Amityville Horror DVDs. Now that was upsetting.

June 27th
Meh… blah… Not a whole lot to say here as this one doesn’t interest me in the slightest, but just perhaps one of you out there is interested in a story about a girl who falls in love on her wedding day…but not with the man of honor. Heck (Matthew Goode) and Rachel (Piper Perabo) are a happy young couple about to embark on life together. But at the church, Rachel catches the eye of an unexpected guest. In that moment, she realizes that maybe Heck isn’t the one for her. Of course, they will never know for sure unless they give it a shot. What follows is the romantic, humorous and sometimes poignant journey familiar to anyone who’s ever been lucky (or unlucky) enough to be under love’s spell.
