Aliens Gone Wild Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Aliens Gone Wild" is a piece of recorded entertainment that I can't in good conscience call a movie, as it's essentially a bunch of clips from bad Full Moon films cobbled together on one DVD with the most laughable editing in recent memory. It is probably the worst thing Charles Band, maker of over 200 (frequently awful) films, has ever been associated with, and is that rare production where the independently bad components are spliced together into a finished product that is substantially worse than the individual parts. A collection of simple science fiction or horror trailers would have been much more entertaining (don't worry though, there are actual trailers in the extras, along with some other stuff of dubious entertainment value.)
The DVD is broken down into major categories like "Space Freaks," "Alien Classics," and "From Beyond." Each group has low points, but for me the worst was the almost unendurable music video sequence in a hospital early in the film. If you make it through that it gets easier from there, and even includes some footage of a young Demi Moore, who gets star billing along with other luminaries like Julie Newmar, James Black, and Roddy McDowell. Of course there really isn't any one person at the top of the bill as it's just a bunch of footage from other movies mashed together, but at least there are some people you have seen before.
This is one of the most difficult things to tolerate that I have ever watched, and I was sorely tempted on numerous occasions just to stop the DVD and run over it with a car. Now that I've actually seen the whole thing I realize that those instincts were valid.
"Aliens Gone Wild" is among the very worst of the worst.

Twister (1996) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best sounding 5.1 channel DVD that I have heard so far! The thunderstorms sound like the real thing and the dialog is always crisp and clear. This disc includes both widescreen and full screen versions of the movie. Unfortunately, there aren't any good special features on this disc (thats why only 4 stars instead of 5). I would have liked to have seen some behind the scenes info. This film has stunning visual effects and it would be nice to watch the computer art gurus in action! Even without special features, this disc is worth the money. It will squeeze every drop of performance out of your home theater!

As Good As It Gets (1997) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"As Good As It Gets" is a rarity among today's movies, a truly witty and poignant romantic comedy with an unusual protagonist. That protagonist is Melvin, played with relish by Jack Nicholson. Melvin is a highly successful novelist who is also an abrasive misanthrope suffering from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. (Not your typical hero for sure!)

As one would expect, Melvin is a recluse and resistant to any changes in his life until he is forced to interact with a down-on-his-luck gay neighbor, Simon, portrayed by Greg Kinnear, and Simon's perky little pet pooch, Verdell. Melvin also becomes reluctantly involved with the pretty and patient waitress Carol, played by Helen Hunt, who serves him breakfast every day at a local cafe. Other than Carol, none of the other cafe's employees will deal with the impossible Melvin.

When Carol abruptly quits her job, Melvin tracks her down and offers her financial incentives to return to her post. Melvin increasingly finds himself drawn into Carol's personal life, and he eventually falls for the plucky single mom.

"As Good As It Gets" is a quirky update of the fable "Beauty and the Beast". Gifted writer-director James L. Brooks has assembled a superb cast to re-tell this classic tale. Besides the pitch perfect lead performances by Nicholson, Hunt, and Kinnear, there are sparkling supporting performances by Cuba Gooding Jr., Shirley Knight and others.

Too many of today's so-called comedies are mindless, uninspired concoctions profuse with sophomoric vulgarities and sexual obscenities. "As Good As It Gets" reminds us that there are still a few determined filmmakers willing to bring qualities such as intelligence, inventiveness, sophistication, and charm back to the silver screen. It is a shame that there are not more artists like these to inspire and entertain much-deprived audiences.

What Women Want (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very formulatic romantic comedy, but it shines largely in part to the performance of Mel Gibson. It takes someone very confident in his masculinity to put on a bra, paint his nails, and put on pantyhose all in the name of comedy. When he is suddenly struck with the gift to hear what women think, it is almost karmic destiny in retribution for his playboy ways of the past. When the shoe is on the other foot, and he sees first hand what is dealt to the fairer sex, it changes him profoundly.
