Details

Action

Accidental Spy

Jackie Chan movie.  Typical Jackie movie.  Only notable sequence starts in a Turkish bath and ends with Jackie running through the streets of Istanbul naked.  Every thing he picks up to cover himself ends being lost in the fight.  More naked butt shots than a whole season of Dennis Franz on NYPD Blue.

Action

The Adventures of Robin Hood

The 1938 classic starring Errol Flynn.

Action

Air Force One

Harrison Ford

Action

Best Men

Reading the DVD case, I was expecting a comedy, but this quirky film about a group of guys who get involved in a bank robbery on the way to a wedding is not really a comedy.

Action

Brotherhood of the Wolf

One of my top 10 all time favorite martial arts movies even though it is set in 18th century France without any oriental characters.

Action

Captain Scarlett

1950's swashbuckler set in 19th century France.

Action

The Corruptor

A police drama starring Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg.

Action

Eight Legged Freaks

Great Spoof of the 1950's 'B' horror movies. A small remote Arizona town is overrun by hordes of giant spiders.  Unlike the traditional movies where you barely see the monsters, here they are on the screen almost 50% of the time.  Oh, and Kari Wuhrer as sheriff Sam, very hot.

A romantic ghost story set in 1930's England.  Someone on the AVS forum recommend this to me as an early interesting movie starring Kate Beckinsale.

Hong Kong 1941

Movie set in Hong Kong during the Japanese World War 2 occupation.  An early work of Chow Yun-Fat.

Action

In Like Flint

1967 sequel to 'Our Man Flint'

Action

Indiana Jones Trilogy

All three movies in a collector's set.  Which is your favorite? Hard for me to decide between the first and the third.  If Indy 4 comes out in 2005 Harrison Ford will be 63.  Does he still have a big action movie in him?  Or will he look older than Sean Connery?

Action

Iron Monkey

Hard-core martial arts movie with Donnie Yen

Action

The Italian Job

The 2003 remake with Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron and the new Mini.

Action

The Italian Job

The 1969 original starring Michael Caine.  Interesting chase sequences with the original Minis and a true 'cliff-hanger' ending.

Repli-Kate

A little movie about cloning that tries to address the age-old question - Nature vs Nurture?  Meaing if you had the clone of an incredible beautiful girl but then impressed her with the personality traits of a guy (football, beer, and sex), what would you get?  A movie that is better in concept than in execution.

Foreign Language

Amelie

Everyone at the Home Theater Forum was raving about this movie and they were right.  It would certainly make my top ten list for comedy/romantic comedy.  Hard to describe the plot and not knowing what is going to happen next is one of its charms.

Foreign Language

The Closet

French Comedy about an accountant at a condom factory who has to pretend to be gay to save his job and in the process changes everyone's lives.   Good movie, very funny in spots.  Definite thumbs up!

Sci Fi

Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, Season 3

Okay, so why have I skipped the second season?  Well, the FX network plays Buffy twice a day so I have been getting my fill, but the 3rd season was one of my favorites and I want the 'extras' like the commentary on some of the episodes.  The 3rd season was the one with Faith, the Mayor, and the destruction of the High School during graduation.

Sci Fi

Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, Season 4

Another classic season of Buffy.  The Scoobies' first year in college.  This season's main story arc involves 'The Initiative', a secret government operation to control demons.  Of course, they are based in a huge secret facility located under the college campus.

The Final Countdown

What if a modern aircraft carrier went back to the day before Pearl Harbor?  Great little sequence where a pair of F-14s dogfight with a pair of Zeros.  From 1980 with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen.  The picture quality of this transfer is horrible, but a new version is due in May 2004 so I will probably upgrade when it arrives.  One of my favorite movies.

Sci Fi

First Men in the Moon

A1964 British movie a 1899 trip to the moon by an eccentric scientist using anti-gravity.  Actually, better than it sounds with a real plot after getting to the moon.  The DVD includes a one hour documentary about Ray Harryhausen which is very interesting.
