Charlie's Angels (Special Edition) (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As much a tribute to pop culture as a big-screen version of the '70s
series, 'Charlie's Angels' has so much energy and tongue-in-cheek
charm that it DARES you NOT to root for its three young stars! And
while the film won't erase the images of Farrah Fawcett in a thin
tanktop on a very cold day, there is a wholesome sexiness and
accessiblity in Barrymore, Diaz, and Liu that none of the various
teamings of TV 'Angels' ever achieved!
The pre-title sequence is
outrageous, and fabulous! ...
Each Angel has a unique
backstory...Natalie (Diaz) is an ditzy, upbeat 'Soul Train'-dancing
wannabe who 'shakes her booty' at home in Spider-Man undies, looks for
'Mr. Right', and is a crack driver; Alex (Liu) is a 'leg waxer'/extra
on an action movie set, who is a lousy cook, sleeps with the film's
star (Matt LeBlanc, in a funny cameo), and is an expert in technology
and martial arts; Dylan (Barrymore) is an ex-high school 'bad
girl'/free spirit involved with a seedy, insecure hippie living in a
tugboat (humorously portrayed by Tom Green, Barrymore's real-life
boyfriend), is a master of disguise, and leads the trio.
As in the
TV series, the Angels work out of the Townsend Detective Agency (still
located in the famous colonial brick building), and communicate with
the never-seen Charlie (voiced, as always, by John Forsythe) via the
telephone. As the trio's liason, Bosley, Bill Murray is simply
perfect, hilarious in his patented 'smarmy but lovable' persona!

The plot revolves around the kidnapping of a Bill Gates-type
computer genius (Sam Rockwell, 'The Green Mile'), and a technology
that can pinpoint any person's location, anywhere in the world. The
prime suspects are competitor Roger Corwin (Tim Curry, in a
delightfully wicked turn!), and his hitman, portrayed with kinky
relish by Crispin Glover. Hired by Kelly Lynch (who has a ball in the
role of Rockwell's partner!), the Angels embark on a case with all the
twists, betrayals, action, humor, and mayhem that a fan could ask for!

Loud, good-natured, and pulsating with a soundtrack of '70s-'80s
Top Ten songs, the film combines 'Matrix'-style freeze-frames and
slow-motion FX with a ton of Pop Culture references and a
swashbuckling sense of derring-do! The film literally rocks, and never
lets up!
Is this 'Great Cinema'? Certainly not! But in its sheer
audacity, and sense of fun, no recent film can match it! And while the
original series teased with a visual sex appeal that was was largely
ignored in the storylines, the big-screen version has a 'if you got
it, flaunt it' attitude that is both refreshing and empowering! This
is a 'Girl Power' movie, in the BEST sense of the word!
I HIGHLY
recommend it!

Knockouts: The Ladies of TNA Wrestling, Vol.1 (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was basically TNA's attempt at doing a DVD similar to the WWE Divas DVD's that they put out every year. The only difference here is that these TNA knockouts aren't out on television every other week in wet t-shirts, bra & panties, or skimpy outfits so you don't get the mentality of "why buy the DVD when I can see this for free on TV every week."
Christy Hemme, Jackie (Ms. Jackie in WWE), Traci Brooks, Gail Kim, and the ring girl So Cal Val are all profiled on here with footage from their photoshoots from the TNA website & Sole magazine. They tell their backgrounds of growing up, getting into the business, and their time & roles in TNA and a sideshow after each presentation.
Also on here is a match between Gail Kim vs. Traci Brooks that was a nice little womens wrestling match...not a bra & panties type of match you would see divas like Torrie Wilson & Candice Michelle but actual wrestling like Trish, Victoria, or Mickie James would give you. And there are also little features like Traci going to a baseball game looking for a guy. The DVD itself is around around an hour & a half.
Bottom line is just these type of Diva/Knockout DVD's are only worth watching maybe once or twice and then it loses it's value. This is good for a rental but it's a pass for anything else.

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having seen the previews during a lazy summer, I figured it would be fun to take my girlfriend and her little sister to a cute little movie spoofing beauty padgeants. Never in my life have I laughed so hard in the theater. I could barely stay in my seat. The twisted, dark comedy was absolutely unexpected, ruthless, undaunting and hilarious. For those of you who are familiar with the state, the Minnesota jokes are right-on-target. The mentally-challenged mocking was tasteless, crude and offensive, but all those of us who saw it know it was funnier than hell. Any of you who have a taste for black comedy and don't take life too seriously should see this movie. I promise you will be pleasently surprised.
