HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE FINAL DESTINATION 2 FROM DVDTALK

The Movie:

The original "Final Destination" was a darkly creepy thriller, a horror movie without a visible villian. While admittedly not a horror fan, I appreciated the fact that some thought went into the film's rules, the movie had some creatively done jump-scares and the performances were good. The sequel was likely an unplanned edition, pulled together after the moderate success (cartoon series "Family Guy" offered an episode that was somewhat a parody) of the original. It is exactly more of the same, but done in a way that's still tense and still occasionally rather clever.

The film opens with a trip for Kimberly (A.J. Cook) and her friends. Kimberly has a vision of a horrific traffic accident about to occur before she gets on the freeway, then stops traffic. The resulting traffic jam irritates many, at least until they see the accident they could have been in happen just up the road. As with the first film, Death's plans have been ruined and he comes after those who've escaped. The result: a lot of ridiculously elaborate scenes where the characters get taken out, one by one.

Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), one of the only survivors from the first picture, also returns. Locked up in a mental institution to protect herself from the continued threat. Despite an irritated entrance, Clear eventually decides to help out. There's not a lot of plot involved, just the main characters trying to save themselves, while also often restating the rules of the movie to each other, occasionally realizing new changes or differences. Although Kimberly's gift of some sort of psychic vision is an iffy idea, her putting together the pieces of the puzzle as the audience does adds to the involvement and tension that the movie manages.

"Final Destination 2" is a odd mix of personalities, which sort of appealed to me - the film seems a bit harder (the sequel is definitely a hard "R" and more, er...visual) and slicker than the first film, but that sort of mean-spiritedness is tempered by a sort of silliness that makes the whole thing rather entertaining and show that the film isn't taking itself entirely seriously. One particular bit of hilarity is when Kimberly has a vision that the next victims are going to be attacked by...pigeons. Still, these lines are delivered in a way that, amazingly, doesn't result in the kind of unintentional hilarity that takes one's interest out of the scene. Really, it's all the result of acting that, while mediocre in any other movie, works quite wonderfully here. Larter is especially fascinating as a "tough chick", a role that seems pretty unlikely for the actress.

A slick-looking and well-paced sequel, "Final Destination 2" isn't anything ambitious and story-wise, it's not even quite as developed as the first picture, but it's a fairly entertaining ride.


The DVD

VIDEO: "Final Destination 2" is presented by New Line in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and 1.33:1 pan & scan. Both editions are presented on a dual-sided disc, with the widescreen edition on a dual-layered side. The anamorphic widescreen edition is a prime example of New Line at their finest. This is an amazing transfer, with absolutely marvelous clarity and definition. Every scene retains a consistent, smooth appearance that offers great depth to the image.

I can find no flaw with the image quality. Edge enhancement is entirely absent, the print seemed to be in absolutely superb condition, and no compression artifacts were spotted. This presentation is simply stunning. Colors remained bright and vivid throughout, with excellent saturation and no issues.

SOUND: "Final Destination 2" is presented by New Line in Dolby Digital 5.1-EX and DTS 6.1-ES (Discrete). I have to give New Line credit for being one of the few studios to consistently support DTS-ES and DD-EX on quite a few of their major new releases. Also, the soundtrack has been optimized for DVD, according to the sound menu, and no equalization is required. This is certainly a very aggressive soundtrack at times, putting the rear speakers (and the back surround) to excellent (and discrete, in the case of the DTS-ES soundtrack) use. Although some stretches fold up to the front for dialogue-driven passages, almost any opportunity for surround use in many of the scenes seemed to be taken advantage of. Sound effects are punchy and dynamic, and the music has nice presence, as well. Dialogue remains crisp and clear. Strong bass is present at times, as well.

EXTRAS:

Commentary: Commentary with director David Ellis, producer Craig Perry and writers Eric Bress and J. Gruber is offered. The commentary manages to be quite funny and quite informative at the same time. The four are joined together for the commentary and spend much of the time getting into the core elements of the film and how they were brought together. They have some interesting insights into the concepts behind the screenplay and characters, as well as more technical details, such as how stunt sequences were pulled together and other stories from the production. Jokes fly in-between the details, as the four goof on some of the plot twists and story ideas they'd heard for the sequel.

Bits and Pieces: This is a 30-minute documentary that starts off with a brief history of the genre, which is really quite interesting and a good way to start off the featurette. Eventually, the documentary discusses the main scenes of "Final Destination 2", offering more in-depth looks at the effects of the first big scene (including some tests), the construction of the other main scene and some of the make-up FX.

Trailers: Trailers for the first and second movies, as well as one for something called "Highwaymen".

Cheating Death: This is an 18-minute documentary featuring interviews with people who believe they have cheated death and talk about their near-death experiences.

Terror Gauge: This 14-minute piece discusses how the brain reacts to terror/stress in horror movies, as a few test subjects are strapped in - "Clockwork Orange"-style - to watch "Final Destination 2" and have their physical reactions measured.

Infinifilm: This is another in New Line's "Infinifilm" series. If turned on, this feature allows viewers to jump to related material for the scene, watch it and then come back to the movie. There is also a subtitle "fact track" included.

Also: Deleted scenes (5), music videos, interactive game.

Final Thoughts: "Final Destination 2" is more of the same from the original - while the scares seem more complex, I wish some story elements from the original could have been expanded upon. Still, the movie offers some fun for horror fans and, in terms of technical credits, it's certainly well-done. New Line's Infinifilm edition DVD offers outstanding, reference-quality video, stellar audio and plenty of supplements. Recommended for fans or those interested.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE ME MYSELF AND IRENE FROM DVDTALK

I've enjoyed all of the Farrelly Brothers movies I've seen that didn't star Jim Carrey. Of course, that only leaves two films -- "Kingpin", which I particularly liked, and "There's Something About Mary" (I missed "Outside Providence", but I think I join most of America in saying that) -- and although "Dumb And Dumber" left me kind of flat, I thought I'd give "Me, Myself, and Irene" a shot. Jim Carrey is Charlie, a Rhode Island state trooper who seems pleasant enough, but ends up as the butt of seemingly every joke in the Ocean State. He somehow manages to stay sane when his wife Layla (Traylor Howard) gives birth to triplets obviously fathered by a Mensa-attending knunchuck-wielding dwarf chauffeur (played by Tony Cox, whose character sounds funnier on paper than he is on-screen), even raising the children on his own when his wife leaves him. Despite the constant mocking from everyone, Charlie seems to remain good-natured, although buried deep in Charlie's subconscious is the evil side of his personality, named Hank. One day, Charlie snaps and Hank is released, which is unfortunate for Irene P. Waters (Renee Zellweger), who Charlie is escorting back to...some place because of...something. I'm writing this review a few days after watching the movie, and the plot obviously didn't make that big an impression on me. These details are sort of minor, anyway. To sum it all up, Charlie/Hank and Irene are on the run, eventually teaming up with an albino with a questionable past. Sprinkled throughout is the sort of gross-out humor that's so chic nowadays...a sort of humor I don't particularly enjoy. This isn't because I'm easily offended or anything, but...well, kind of the total opposite. Because I'm not easily offended, there's no shock value, so the 'humor' never really leaves much of an impression on me. Although some of the same sort of humor appeared in "Kingpin" and "There's Something About Mary", there was more to those films than just gross-out comedy, and really, that sort of humor seemed a little fresher back in those days anyway. So, no, I didn't laugh once during "Me, Myself, and Irene". Just picture a geeky guy with a completely blank expression on his face for close to two hours, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the viewing experience was like for me. So basically, I'm saying that I already have a bias against the lead actor and a general dislike of the sort of comedy used in the film, so it shouldn't come as too big of a surprise that "Me, Myself, and Irene" didn't do a whole lot for me. I know plenty of people who did get a kick out of it, so I'll try to review this disc somewhat objectively...or whatever...yeah. Video: I remember back when I first started frequenting DVD discussion forums, and everyone seemed to rag on Fox. Wow, are those days over... "Me, Myself, And Irene" features a beautiful widescreen-enhanced transfer, letterboxed to 1.85:1. The image is clear and detailed, and I was especially impressed with how rich and colorful some of the exterior shots appeared. Pretty typical of Fox's recent DVD output, which is, of course, praise. Audio: After reviewing a couple of Columbia/Tri-Star discs right before "Me, Myself, and Irene", it's nice to see a disc that defaults to Dolby Digital 5.1. Although there are six channels, the center speaker is the focus of the audio, with other speakers and directional effects used very sparingly. Not particularly impressive, but hardly disappointing...just an uninteresting front-heavy comedy mix. Rounding out the other audio options are English and French Dolby Surround tracks, along with English and French subtitles. Supplements: First on the menu are "trailers and TV spots", consisting of a pair of trailers and three different television ads. My favorite extra this time around is the video for "Breakout" by the Foo Fighters. When I first picked up their third album, "There Is Nothing Left To Lose", I instantly thought "Breakout" would be great for a movie soundtrack, although I thought it'd be better suited to play over the ending credits. Oh well. There aren't any other music videos, and I thought it was kind of odd that a previously released song got the video treatment and not any of the Steely Dan covers recorded specifically for the soundtrack. I'd have loved to have seen a video for Ben Folds Five's "Barrytown" (which I saw them perform on Letterman, I think). Six "making of" vignettes ('vignette' quickly becoming one of my favorite words) can be viewed individually or branched while watching the movie. The vignettes are footage shot between takes. It's not really 'behind-the-scenes' footage in the usual sense, and there are none of the fluff interviews from those HBO: First Look featurettes. It's mostly just the cast and crew goofing around on the set, but it's still entertaining and worth a look. A traditional featurette is included, made up of the usual interviews, behind the scenes footage, and an extensive assortment of clips from the film. The featurette runs around half of the length of most featurettes I've watched, although it's not time-coded, so I can't give an official running time without starting it again, keeping track of time, etc., etc., etc. I'm sure none of you are that interested. There's also a stills gallery, with shots of the cast, crew, and a series of production stills. On the DVD-ROM portion of the disc are storyboards, the screenplay, and web links. Among the final supplements listed on the "Extra Features" menu is a commentary with the Farrelly Brothers, which mostly seemed to be a list of which of their friends appeared in the movie and where. The Farrellys also contribute commentary to 10 deleted scenes, which can be viewed individually or in an extended branching version, similar to "X-Men", another Fox release. A yellow image of Hank will also appear throughout the film to announce the presence of a deleted scene, which can be viewed with the Angle button, and being a Toshiba SD3109 owner, the menu option to remove the icon didn't work. Although that's just a quirk with my player (and there is, of course, a way around that), it's worth noting that the Hank icon is really large and very unattractive. Not quite as unobtrusive as the icon on the "X-Men" disc. When I got up to make a bowl of Frosted Flakes, an option to view a different menu interface came up, but I didn't notice any extra features on the Hank-themed menu. Maybe I didn't look in the right place or something. Hmm. Conclusion: Okay, I didn't find "Me, Myself, and Irene" particularly funny, but a film that grosses $90 million must have plenty of fans somewhere. I don't typically go for Jim Carrey movies, and others who feel the same way might want to leave this one for a rental. Otherwise, the nice video, decent audio, and a slew of extra features make it worth a purchase, particularly during its week of release, when the loss leaders are sure to mark the disc down to below the $20 mark.
