Hitman's Blu-ray Thread - DVD reviews - Premiere Forums | Thread profile

Hey ya'll guys, it's been a long time! I come after a long abscence to see that these boards are slower than usual. Well I've come to breathe a little life to this near-dead forum.   Last year I bought an HD DVD player only a few months before it met it's demise by Warner Bros. going Blu-ray exclusive. After experiencing films in hi-def I just couldn't go back being 100% DVD. So I went ...

Hitman (2007/Fox) - Now I'm not a videogame enthusiast so I can't grade this movie based on that. I have to say that I couldn't care for this movie that much at all. Sure there are stuff that are well done here like the shoot-outs, explosions and fight scenes but there isn't anything in this movie that's not what you've seen in a thousand other action flicks. In case you don't have a clue of ...

27 Dresses (2008, Fox) - Depending on the charm of the stars I can either like or dislike a romantic comedy. In this case I will admit that Katherine Heigl embodies that Meg Ryan/Michelle Pfeiffer likeability factor and that made 27 Dresses watchable but unfortunately I still can't recommend it. It's the same recycled paper from My Best Friend's Wedding, Bridget Jones and Wedding Planner. Well ...

Thanks for the welcome back, Plan 9!     No Country For Old Men (2007/Miramax) - Wow, did this movie look great on Blu-ray! I live in Texas and I never thought the Texas humidity looked great on film. I admit that I'm not the biggest Coen Bros. fan although have always admired the heart they put in their films. Watching No Country For Old Men reminded of Blood Simple , another cat-...

P.S. I Love You (2007/Warner) - Well I had to suspend logic to enjoy this movie like no matter how well we know someone there is no way we can communicate with them after death through tape recorders and letters unless we're in a poor man's version of White Noise . Well, this is a romantic comedy/fantasy so I did shake off some of the ridiculousness and enjoyed Hilary Swank's performance as a ...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007/Warner) - I love westerns, I also dig complex characters, in this movie I got to get the best of both worlds. Last time we saw the Jesse James on the big screen he was in the form of Colin Farrell in 2002s American Outlaws . We know at the time Farrell was a breakout star and this was just some vehicle to showcase him as an ...

Sleuth (2007/Sony) - Usually I dislike movies that insult your intelligence that you feel the writers and director is patting themselves on the back while they're misleading you. I felt that watching this movie but when it ended I felt this film was time worth spent because of the chemistry of a legend and modern movie star. After the first act I rolled my eyes and thought "OMG, it's one of ...

August Rush (2007/Warner) - Wow, who would've knew that if a hot irishman (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a beautiful American woman (Keri Russell) reproduced, it would be a child with an English accent (London-bred Freddie Highmore). That's the case in this misfire of a movie. Also, do you think that two attractive musicians the looked like Russell and Meyers could stay single for 11 long years ...

Youth Without Youth (2007/Sony) - Whatever happened to Francis Ford Coppola?  The man that gave us great films like The Godfather , Apocalypse Now and The Outsiders . I think Peggy Sue Got Married is the last movie from him that I actually liked! (Sorry but I didn't care for either  Bram Stoker's Dracula nor The Rainmaker ) Now comes this bomb called Youth Without Youth . I think FFC ...

Dan in Real Life (2007/Touchstone) - Of course the critics would like Dan in Real Life , it's loaded with dry humor with a couple of sprinkles of slapstick. I'm sure they could have done without the slapstick humor. (I notice critics only like slapstick stuff in oldies like Bringing Up Baby. ) Back to the subject at hand, I enjoyed Dan in Real Life because the movie didn't feel manipulative ...
