Zombieland
|
|
 |
 |
| I presume this will be the one film most people rush out to buy, and it is indeed an entertaining movie, but I can’t say I am all that interested in revisiting it. | |

The House of the Devil
|
|
 |
|
| I don’t know what it is about this film that scared anyone, but outside of a single gunshot I was bored out of my mind for an hour and then watched as director Ti West rushed the ending. You can read my short theatrical review here, but I can’t recommend you buy this one.
However, I will point out the pic at the bottom of the image to the left is of a DVD/VHS combo set. Who is going to buy that? Is that just an attempt to try and sell this as a legit throwback film? Anyone planning on dusting off the VCR out there? Do you even still own a VCR? |

The Wolf Man (1941) (2-Disc Special Edition)
|
|
 |
|
| Now this is a solid film. Not because it’s scary, but just because it’s a good story. As for this special edition anyone that already owns the original Legacy Series release and/or recently purchased The Mummy Legacy edition (my review here) already owns pretty much everything on this release. On top of that, the Legacy version also has Werewolf of London, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man and She-Wolf of London. Admittedly, the Legacy release is $7 more, but I think it’s worth it. click here to choose between the two. | |

Ong Bak 2: The Beginning
|
|
 |
|
| Not necessarily a good movie, but a fun movie nonetheless. Definitely a rental though. Oh, and if you didn’t do it already, watch the teaser trailer for Ong Bak 3 right here | |

More Than a Game

|
 |
|
| I haven’t watched this yet, but I’m interested in giving it a look. Heard it wasn’t half-bad. | |

Love Happens
|
|
 |
|
| Now this I heard was terrible. I let a friend borrow my DVD review copy and it was promptly returned with a look that did not say kind things, and a mouth that said what the face couldn’t. Apparently this may be one to just skip. I did. | |

|
| This movie isn’t terrible, but it is one of the prime examples of how too much acoustic guitar and song lyrics can ruin a movie. This thing gets so sappy by the end you are practically drenched in the sickly sweetness of it all. I could never sit through this movie again. | |
