An unlucky meter reader enrolls in a confidence-building class so he can win the love of the girl of his dreams. The class turns out to be something quite different when it becomes clear to the young man that his professor has his sights set on the same girl. Written by Jeremy Caesar

Roger, a beleaguered New York City meter maid, is plagued by anxiety and low self-esteem. In order to overcome his feelings of inadequacy, Roger enrolls in a top-secret confidence-building class taught by the suavely underhanded Dr. P. Aided by his assistant, Lesher, Dr. P uses unorthodox, often dangerous methods, but he guarantees results: Employ his techniques and you will unleash your inner lion. Surrounded by a band of misfit classmates - Walsh, who's dying to move out of mother's basement; Diego, a punching bag for his hen-pecker of a wife; and Eli, a shy guy just looking for female companionship - Roger's confidence grows and he makes his way to the head of the class, even finding the courage to ask out his longtime crush, Amanda. But Roger quickly discovers that star students have a way of catapulting Dr. P's competitive side into high gear. Soon enough, the teacher sets out to infiltrate and destroy Roger's personal and professional life. Nothing is off limits for Dr. P, not even the object of Roger's affection. In order to show Amanda Dr. P's true colors, Roger must rally his new friends and find a way to beat the master at his own game. Written by The Weinstein Company

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE SCHOOL FOR SCOUNDRELS FROM DVDTALK

The Movie The cover art of many DVDs feature blurbs from movie critics (or people like Larry King who I don't really considered to be movie critics). I typically avoid reading these because, A) I usually don't care, and B) I don't want my opinion accidentally influenced. While watching School for Scoundrels, I thought to myself, "This is like Bad Santa meets Napoleon Dynamite." After viewing the film, I noticed that front cover was emblazoned with a quote from Rolling Stone which states "Bad Santa meets Napoleon Dynamite". Wow! Was this remarkable synergy that we both thought this? No, this is the reaction that most anyone would have while watching this movie, and I can only assume that this was the intention of the people behind School for Scoundrels. But does the movie offer more than this? In School for Scoundrels we meet Roger Waddell (Jon Heder), a shy, goofy guy who works as parking patrol (he's a meter maid) in New York City. A timid man, Roger finds himself constantly intimidated and pushed around by co-workers and even those he tries to ticket. He has a crush on his neighbor, Amanda (Jacinda Barrett), but he's afraid to approach her and he's usually scared off by Amanda's cranky roommate, Becky (Sarah Silverman). Roger's acquaintance Ian (David Cross), tells Roger of a man who can help him. Roger calls the phone number given to him by Ian and receives a mysterious set of instructions informing him to come to a local learning annex and to bring $5000. Roger shows up at the appointed time and finds himself in a class administered by "Dr. P" (Billy Bob Thornton) and his muscle-man, Lesher (Michael Clarke Duncan). Dr. P is an abrasive, insulting man, but he promises that he can make the class full of men, whom he refers to as losers, into confident and successful people. Roger is thrown by Dr. P's approach, but he's desperate for help and he decides to go along with it. Roger stumbles at first, but he begins to find his footing and he is able to assert himself at work and he even gets the courage to ask Amanda out on a date. But, while Dr. P enjoys success, he doesn't like for his students to get too cocky, and soon, Roger and Dr. P are locked in a battle of wills.

The Movie

So here's the equation: A medium-budget studio release goes on to become a surprise hit, so it only stands to reason that sequel-talks begin circulating. But the immortal rule of sequel-making dictates that you spend less money on the follow-up, which means when you're doing a Part 2 to a mid-budget flick, you're all of a sudden wandering into low-budget territory -- regardless of the fact that Universal is footing the bill.

Extra low budgets mean lesser stars, shorter production time, and less expensive experts -- which means you're now wandering into direct-to-video country. And if we learned anything from the Bring It On sequel, the cleverly titled Bring It On Again, it's that some movies, however profitable, do not warrant sequels. But hey, someone over at Universal figured that "cheerleaders = money," and that's basically how sequels get made these days.

So now with Bring It On Again more than two years gone (and entirely forgotten), Universal decides it's time for yet another pom-pom-romp, this one called Bring It On: All or Nothing. A sequel inasmuch as it deals with high school girls who are cheerleaders, this third entry in the perpetually leering series is precisely what you think it is: redundant, familiar, uninspired, drab, obvious, and endlessly generic. But I suppose the 12-year-old girls might like it ... if only if the flick weren't jam-packed with smarmy crotch jokes and nearly-latent racism.

THE HOST NOW AVAILABLE

THE HOST NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE THE HOST FROM IMDB

The film revolves around Park Hee-bong, a man in his late 60s. Park runs a small snack bar on the banks of the Han River and lives with his two sons, one daughter, and one granddaughter. The Parks seem to lead a quite ordinary and peaceful life, but maybe a bit poorer than the average Seoulite. Hee-bong's elder son Gang-du is an immature and incompetent man in his 40s, whose wife left home long ago. Nam-il is the youngest son, an unemployed grumbler, and daughter Nam-joo is an archery medalist and member of the national team. One day, an unidentified monster suddenly appears from the depths of the Han River and spreads panic and death, and Gang-du's daughter Hyun-seo is carried off by the monster and disappears. All the family members are in a great agony because they lost someone very dear to them. But when they find out she is still alive, they resolve to save her. Written by Plot Summary

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE HOST FROM DVDTALK

The Movie
It's the rare monster movie that lets you see the creature right off the bat, and then hides it away, letting the human characters be the stars, and their interactions advance the plot. The Host is one of those films, as it follows the Park family, as it bands together, against the monster and the government, to find their youngest member, Hyun-seo, who was taken by the creature. Along the way, they run into frequent troubles, with everyone they encounter working against them and preventing them from saving Hyun-seo.

The creature, born of U.S. pollution in Korea, is as unsubtle a statement as could be made about the world's view of the United States, as it puts a foreign country in peril through no fault of its own, and when it can't solve the problem, it needs America to step in, take over and clean things up. But the film doesn't obsess over politics (at least for the bulk of the 119-minute runtime,) as it much prefers the Parks' dysfunction over any international scraps, keeping a close eye as frequent screw-up Gang-Du, his siblings, Nam-il and Nam-Joo, and their father Hie-bong, battle each other out familiarity, more than contempt. Unfortunately, focus is not the film's strong point, as it moves in fits and starts, bouncing between Hyun-Seo's struggle for survival in the monster's lair and her family's efforts to save her.

For a film that's peppered with moments of comedy, the more serious scenes manage to maintain a believable tone, thanks to some fantastic audio design and a score that's as tense andnerve-wracking as a Hitchcock film. Throw in some beautifully kinetic and artistic cinematography, and you've got a dramatic cult film that represents the best qualities ofidiosyncratic Asian filmmaking. The final climatic battle between man and beast alone would be enough to earn this film a spot in the film history books, but it's matched in tenacity and monstrous goodness by the opening scene, one of the most original, well-filmed monster attacks in recent history.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE FROM DVDTALK

A History of Violence is one of the better movies of 2005, from one of the few directors left who imbues his films with a distinctive persona. In the middle 1970s David Cronenberg seemed like a tricky young horrorphile concerned with extreme effects and gory ideas. He shared a television interview (included on the Criterion DVD of Videodrome) with directors John Carpenter and John Landis; all three were engaged in making bloody horror films. Of the three, only Cronenberg has consistently had 'something to say.' He made the best Stephen King adaptation in The Dead Zone and proved with his brilliant re-thinking of The Fly that his 70s obsession with grotesque bodily mutations was a relevant theme. His later work has maintained a high level of intelligence while exploring a variety of bizarre, but always human, concepts.

Starting as an 'Everyman' tale, A History of Violence then takes a sideways detour, becoming an exploration of man-as-monster through the story of one very atypical man caught between two radically different identities. I'll try to review the picture without spoiling anything about it; if you haven't seen it yet and want some good surprises, don't even view a trailer. Knowing anything in advance will hurt the film's impact.

THE ULTIMATE GIFT NOW AVAILABLE

THE ULTIMATE GIFT NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE THE ULTIMATE GIFT FROM IMDB

Jason thought his inheritance was going to be the gift of money and lots of it. Was he ever in for a big surprise. Based on the best-selling book "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall, the story sends trust fund baby Jason Stevens on an improbable journey of discovery, having to answer the ultimate question: "What is the relationship between wealth and happiness?" Jason had a very simple relationship with his impossibly wealthy Grandfather, Howard "Red" Stevens. He hated him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies, just cold hard cash. So of course he figured that when Red died, the whole "reading of the will" thing would be another simple cash transaction, that his Grandfather's money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything but simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls "gifts," each challenging Jason in an improbable way, the accumulation of which would change him forever. Written by Sajbel, Michael O.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE ULTIMATE GIFT FROM DVDTALK

One expects going into a Fox Faith release to be inundated with a heightened sense of melodrama. After all, how better to present messages of hope and love than to mix it with tears and broad depictions of failure and success? "The Ultimate Gift" should be approached with an eye toward expecting the obvious. Only then do the life lessons have a fighting chance to sink in.

Jason Stevens (Drew Fuller, "Charmed") is a lazy trust fund brat with little sense of purpose to his life. When his tycoon grandfather Red (James Garner) passes away, his lecherous family claws away at the fortune, but Red saves his greatest gift for Jason. Through his attorney (Bill Cobbs), Red arranges a series of challenges for Jason, sending him around the globe in an effort to get the young man to better appreciate people and give to the world around him.

"Ultimate Gift" is adapted from the best-selling novel by Jim Stovall, whose story of personal inventory was intended to instill selflessness in people. In movie form, "Gift" won't have that type of reach, but it's not for lack of trying. It's a commendable production that sets lofty goals for itself, yet the film doesn't always have the tools to accomplish everything it sets out to.

Think of "Gift" as "Brewster's Millions," but without the comedy and with more focus paid to issues of the soul. In trying to cinematically cover this idea of the "12 Gifts" that help people connect, writer Cheryl McKay overworks the plot to fold all the messages into a single fluffy feature film. The story of Jason facing his empty existence for the first time is a persuasive one, and is executed well by director Michael O. Sajbel ("One Night with the King"), but there's inconsistency in the storytelling that constipates the overall objective of the piece.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE THE INVASION FROM IMDB

A mysterious epidemic is sweeping the world, but it takes one Washington DC psychiatrist to discover that the disease is extraterrestrial in origin. When her son becomes infected, she and a colleague must work together to find a cure, before the entire world is lost... Written by comicfan

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE INVASION FROM DVDTALK

Author Jack Finney's 1955 novel "The Body Snatchers" has been put through more Hollywood adaptations than most similar pieces of literary bubblegum. The odd thing is, a majority of these incarnations turn out to be terrific movies, from the 1956 classic starring Kevin McCarthy ("Invasion of the Body Snatchers") to a 1978 creeper from director Philip Kaufman to Abel Ferrara's lost cult beauty from 1993 ("Body Snatchers"). "The Invasion" picks up the baton for a new generation of moviegoers, but it's a bumpy ride, testing the narrow possibilities of what this story has to offer.

When an American space shuttle disintegrates upon reentry, fragments of the ship are scattered across the country, each one coated with unidentified spores that contaminate anyone it comes in contact with. Carol (Nicole Kidman) is an icy psychiatrist who starts to question the altered mentality of her fellow citizens, clinging to her son and a best friend (Daniel Craig) for answers. Isolated in an alien pandemic, Carol fights to survive the night as thousands of zombie-like, emotionally blank infected start to take over the city, spreading their disease. Trying to protect her child, while staving off the effects of the aliens by staying awake, Carol battles her way to find a safe haven, if there's one still left.

Crafty Hollywood insiders report that "Invasion" suffered from an unpopular initial cut, thus necessitating the introduction of the Wachowski Brothers to write, oversee a re-edit, and film a new ending over a year after production concluded. Even if one wasn't armed with that knowledge, it's obvious that something happened to "Invasion" as it wiggled through the post-production process. To be blunt: the film is one hot mess, filled with crazy editing leaps and narrative holes, with renewed focused placed on hustling through the story as rapidly as possible.

The winged marketing demon that patrols the air of popular culture trying to hustle audiences into seeing problematical product has stuck again, and the title this time is "Georgia Rule." Served up in the ads as a slightly askew family comedy, "Rule" is far more psychologically dense than trivial laughs and third-act tears. In fact, the central plot of the film involves sexual abuse.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE FROM DVDTALK

Ah, Chris Rock and Eric Rohmer, the two masters together at last. Wait a minute, Rock and Rohmer? If the combination sounds strange to you, "I Think I Love My Wife" doesn't disagree.

Richard (Chris Rock) is man with a great job, two beautiful children, and a wife (Gina Torres) who has long ago stopped paying sexual attention to him. Bored with his marriage, Richard finds himself vulnerable to the charms of Nikki (Kerry Washington), an old acquaintance who has floated back into his life. Richard embraces Nikki's advances under the guise that they're "friends," but when the reality of the potential infidelity hits him at home, Richard must confront his impulses and bad decisions.

French New Wave director Rohmer defined his career making movies about conflicted, morally shaky men, and it's interesting to report that Chris Rock has managed to maintain some of that bastard integrity for his film. Co-writing (with Louis C.K.) and directing "Wife," Rock is looking for a break from the broad comedies he's normally associated with, including his last directorial effort, the amusing 2003 political lampoon, "Head of State."

By writing himself the sad sack role of Richard, Rock is sneaking in a way to expand his career. "Wife" is a comedy, but the elements of drama and other shades of gray are shoveled into the film to lend it some weight beyond the lust for the laugh. I applaud Rock for challenging himself with the picture, but that doesn't mean it clicks.

Updating Rohmer's 1972 film "Chloe in the Afternoon," Rock has cherry picked all the ideas of infidelity and consequence but also lubes up the project with his own sense of humor. "Wife" is profane, awkward, and sprinkled with a strange racial subtext; basically the cinematic equivalent of Rock himself.

Rock doesn't know how to direct this material, and "Wife" can be an erratic moviegoing experience due to his hesitation. One minute the film has some comically dark, yet semi-profound ideas to share on the idea of marriage and the marital neutering of the American male. The next minute, "Wife" is a study in the mine field of fidelity, and the red hot lure of an alpha sexual partner. And in the moments where the picture is least attentive, gags are tossed in that could come from any one of Rock's comedy albums.

NEW MOVIE 1408 NOW AVAILABLE ON HERE

1408 NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE WEBSITE ITS THE NEW MOVIE 1408 FEATURING JOHN CUSACK IN A HORROR MOVIE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY GOOD.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FROM IMDB.

Based on the short Stephen King horror story of the same name, 1408 surrounds supernatural writer Mike Enslin, an author of two hit books focusing on supernatural phenomena. As research for his latest book, Enslin is determined to check out the notorious room 1408 in a New York City hotel by personally staying as a guest in the fabled room. With the intention that 1408 is just a myth perpetuated by stories and rumor that Enslin has collected for his past works. However, hotel manager Mr. Olin has strong objections to Enslin's stay and only warns him of possible danger to come. But Enslin is determined to go through and convinced that the horrific past of 1408 is just mere coincidence and a myth. But what Mike Enslin is about to experience is no myth, as 1408 truly is a room where the guests don't check out by noon. Written by mystic80.

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE 1408 FROM DVDTALK

There seem to be two distinct flavors of Stephen King film adaptations. Either it's a full-on scare-the-dickens-out-of-you night at the movies or it's the journey to the center of the insane mind. "1408" falls into the latter category, yet a large percentage of the middle act wants to play by the now familiar rules of suspense cinema. It's a confusing mix, but then again, "1408" is a difficult movie to decipher.

Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a non-fiction novelist specializing in the haunted attractions of America. Urged to try spending the night at the Dolphin Hotel in the cursed room 1408, it takes everything the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson, in a five-minute cameo) has to try and convince Enslin to change his plans. The author won't budge, and embarks on a stay that will challenge his skeptical nature, forcing Enslin to confront a torturous past with his deceased daughter and a lifetime of disbelief.

Swedish director Mikael Hafstrom made a dent on the American film scene with the 2005 thriller, "Derailed." A nicely detailed piece of trash, "Derailed" couldn't help but fall apart in the final reel, so it comes as little surprise that "1408" also suffers the same fate.

Adapted from a King short story, "1408" has to fill a 90+ minute running time with a concept that should rightfully take up about 30 minutes. However, Hafstrom is skilled at the build up to the hotel room sequences; giving the audience a nice feel of Enslin's testy personality before he's subjected to a barrage of nightmares.

It's takes a good half hour before we even get into the dreaded hotel room, and once it arrives, there's really nowhere for "1408" to effectively go. This is an origami-paper-thin concept about psychological confinement, and the screenplay works up a summer-day-20k sweat trying to fill the narrative with bits of character dimension and generic suspense. The director is actually able to breathe some life into the majority of the picture, drizzling on the required bits of evil and alarm; but he's punishing Enslin for sins the audience surely won't be invested in.

The funny thing about white people, you see, is that they are very different from black people. Yes! It's true! And that's why it's so funny. That is the premise behind ... well, a lot of movies. But specifically "Who's Your Caddy?," a monstrously ill-conceived and unfunny comedy about what happens when some black folks barge into a snooty white country club and start shakin' things up. There are two clues that this movie will be worthless: 1) The premise is old and tired. 2) It's called "Who's Your Caddy?"

BECOMING JANE NOW AVAILABLE

BECOMING JANE NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE BECOMING JANE FROM IMDB.

A biographical portrait of a pre-fame Jane Austen and her romance with a young Irishman.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE BECOMING JANE FROM DVDTALK.

Becoming Jane sounded like a great idea. A biography of Jane Austen told in the style of one of her books, with Anne Hathaway cast as the young author. The actress was an excellent choice. Her command of the language, her intelligence, and doe-eyed beauty would be perfectly suited for the etiquette, clever outbursts, and period costumes such a role would surely require. In that sense, thankfully, the filmmakers did not fail, as Hathaway makes good on our expectations. The script, unfortunately, does not, somehow forgetting that Austen was actually a real person. Instead, TV writers Kevin Hood and Sarah Williams and Kinky Boots director Julian Jarrold truss up their heroine so tight, she all but disappears, relying instead on audience foreknowledge of Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility to provide any sort of connection with the movie at all.

Writers giving short shrift to a fellow writer in her own story. Surely Austen herself would enjoy the irony.

The set-up for the story is that young Jane is next in line amongst her sisters to be married. With elder Cassandra (Anna Maxwell Martin, Bleak House) engaged to a young priest who has been under tutelage to the girls' father (James Cromwell, The Queen), it's up to Jane to pick a proper suitor to settle down with. Her mother (Julie Walters, a.k.a. Mrs. Weaseley in the Harry Potter movies) feels that it's of particular import that Jane marry into money, as the family barely survives on what Mr. Austen makes at their local parish. Resident money maven Lady Gresham (Dame Maggie Smith) has a nephew she's ready to link to the rebellious girl, but poor Wisley (Laurence Fox) is like Lurch in a proper dressing coat, lumbering in both speech and movement.

Naturally, Jane can't marry Wisley, because she must marry for love, a principle her father has instilled in her. Like a heroine in her novels, she has been encouraged to dream, indulged in her early morning scribblings, and she's not willing to give in easily. Particularly when there are outsiders like the ghastly Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy, Starter For Ten) to secretly swoon over while outwardly declaring him detestable. Lefroy likes to drink, carouse, and even do some bare-chested boxing, and he's been exiled to the country in a kind of Victorian version of rehab. He must get his gadabout ways out of his system!

After disappearing to the East where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, he returns to his now decaying Gotham City overrun by organized crime and dangerous individuals manipulating the system whilst the company he inherited is slowly being pulled out from under him.

Written by Dark Horizons

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE BATMAN BEGINS FROM DVDTALK

The Movie
The first of the Batman films to truly explore what makes a man with everything risk it all to fight crime, Batman Begins is the only Batman film to try and base the superhero in reality. Because of that, it works better than all the rest, even Batman, which to this point had been the standard-bearer for the character. In many ways, it's a companion piece to Spider-Man, which is the lighter version of the "real" superhero film. (X-Men, though an excellent comic-book film, doesn't match these two in terms of pure filmmaking.)

This movie tells the story of how Bruce Wayne became Batman and how Batman became a hero. Along the way, he trains Jedi-style with the mysterious Ducard (Liam Neeson), finds himself an ally in a friend of his father's, Lucius (Morgan Freeman), battles for control of his family's company, and deals with a childhood friend (Katie Holmes) who doesn't agree with his life choices. But despite these sidebars, in the end, it's a story about the maturation of a man. Starting with the character's origin and moving forward into how he became the hero he is known as, the movie tells stories about Batman that haven't been given such time before, and as a result, the film tells a fuller tale of Batman, making him more than an icon or a cartoon. In this film, Batman is a man first.

The key to such films is not focusing on the costume, and instead on the man who wears it. It doesn't hurt when the man who wears it is an actor of Christian Bale's abilities. While I felt Val Kilmer was an excellent Bruce Wayne, and Keaton a fine Batman, Bale combines the two halves of the role, and instills them with a darkness that was here-to-fore missing. Seeing the one and only American Psycho don the cowl reveals about as perfect a casting choice as could have been made, as Bale is able to slide from charismatic playboy to snarling beast with incredible ease. Much of what ends up on-screen obviously emerged from Bale's own chameleon-like capabilities as an actor.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE FROM IMDB

Olive is a little girl with a dream: winning the Little Miss Sunshine contest. Her family wants her dream to come true, but they are so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Olive's father Richard is a flop as a motivational speaker, and is barely on speaking terms with her mother. Olive's uncle Frank, a renowned Proust scholar, has attempted suicide following an unsuccessful romance with a male graduate student. Her brother Dwayne, a fanatical follower of Nietzsche, has taken a vow of silence, which allows him to escape somewhat from the family whose very presence torments him. And Olive's grandfather is a ne'er-do-well with a drug habit, but at least he enthusiastically coaches Olive in her contest talent routine. Circumstances conspire to put the entire family on the road together with the goal of getting Olive to the Little Miss Sunshine contest in far off California. Written by Jim Beaver {jumblejim@prodigy.net}

The Hoover family is the dictionary definition for the word "dysfunctional". The dad Richard is a man who gives lectures on winners and losers, the wife is Sheryl, a chain-smoking, frazzled wife and working mother whose idea of a home cooked meal frequently consists of a bucket of chicken. Her gay brother Frank recently attempted suicide. The grandpa is Edwin, a drug addict. The son is Dwayne a rebel who has vowed not to talk until he gets into the Air Force. And then there is Olive, a seven-year old girl who dreams of going to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. So what happens when they do? Written by neo101

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE FROM DVDTALK

The Movie

It's the little movie that could -- focused on a supremely dysfunctional clan, yet limned with a dark comic spirit and palpable empathy for its fucked up, fucked over cast of characters, Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton's big-screen directorial debut Little Miss Sunshine is that rare blend of pathos and the in-vogue awkward comedy. Most refreshing is that Michael Arndt's subtly lacerating screenplay takes stock clich�s and infuses them with quirks that approach reality, albeit an extremely heightened sense of reality; you watch Little Miss Sunshine and see a splintered, spirited family unit grow closer and approach something resembling understanding.

To ruin the surprises of Little Miss Sunshine would rob those coming to the film for the first time: the endearingly combative Hoover family � led by self-help patriarch Richard (Greg Kinnear), daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) is a budding beauty pageant contestant and her brother Dwayne (Paul Dano) is going on nine months as a mute, studying the nihilistic works of Nietzsche. Mom Sheryl (Toni Collette) has her hands full with her suicidal brother Frank (Steve Carell) and Richard's caustic, drugged out dad (Alan Arkin).

WILD HOGS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE WILD HOGS FROM IMDB

Four middle-aged men decide to take a road trip from Cincinnati to the Pacific in order to get away from their lives which are leading them nowhere. Taking their motorcycles, these "Wild Hogs" tear up the road and eventually stop in New Mexico for a drink not knowing that the bar belongs to the "Del Fuegos", a mean biker gang. When the Del Fuegos steal a bike that belongs to the Wild Hogs, the four men form a plan to steal their bike back. Written by Glenn D. Harvey

In Cincinnati, the dentist Doug Madsen is in crisis, bored with his middle-class life and missing his reckless youth when he was known as the Golden Biker. The aspirant writer Bobby Davis feels pressed by his wife and hates his job. The shy geek computer analyst Dudley Frank is unsuccessful with women. The wealthy Woody Stevens is married with a top-model. Together, the four middle-aged friends in their motorcycles self-call the "Wild Hogs". When Woody loses his wife and is completely broken, he invites his friends to take a road trip to the Pacific, in a quest for freedom. After many incidents, they stop for a beer in a bar owned by the dangerous biker gang "Del Fuegos". Their tough leader Jack steals Dudley's motorcycle, and Woody decides to recover the bike back. Woody cuts the fuel pipes of the bikes and provokes an accident, exploding their bar, but he does not tell the truth to his friends. When they stop in the small town of Madrid without gas, Dudley falls in love for the waitress and owner of the local bar Maggie. However, the "Del Fuegos" traps them in the town and the "Wild Hogs" have to take an attitude. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE WILD HOGS FROM DVDTALK

I'm in a state of shock after watching "Wild Hogs." There was an assured recipe for disaster in this attempt to address the comedic edge to the Average Joe's mid-life crisis, especially considering some of the track records of the talent. Fortunately, "Hogs" appears to have one simple goal for itself: keep it silly.

Finding their lives have been swallowed by routine and disappointment, buddies Woody (John Travolta), Doug (Tim Allen), Bobby (Martin Lawrence), and Dudley (William H. Macy) decide to take their weekend hobby of riding motorcycles to the next level: a week-long road trip. Heading off to see America, the boys find only mishaps and accidents as they snake their way across the land. Their biggest offense is irritating the leader of a Hells Angels-like gang (Ray Liotta, in scenery-chewing Ray Liotta mode), forcing them to take refuge in a tiny New Mexico town, where they find love (Marisa Tomei), friendship, and the motorcycle gang right on their tail.

In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE STARDUST FROM DVDTALK

"Stardust" might be the "Princess Bride" of its generation: a darkly comedic and imaginative fairy tale full of witches, princes, and magic spells, not to mention a happily-ever-after ending. The story (based on a book by Neil Gaiman) is bursting with memorable characters and sly wisdom, with heroes you can love and villains you can love hating. A couple of small missteps aside, it's one of the most purely delightful movies of the year. Our hero is 18-year-old Tristan Thorn (Charlie Cox), an unremarkable but good-hearted lad in the 19th-century English village of Wall. He is in love with the vain Victoria (Sienna Miller), and when they see a falling star one night, he vows to bring the star to her as a token of his love. In exchange for this, she says she will marry him. The star has fallen on the other side of Wall's wall, in an enchanted land called Stormhold, and Tristan is surprised to learn that stars have a human shape. This one, named Yvaine, has the shape of Claire Danes. She finds Tristan rude at first, and Tristan has eyes only for Victoria, but they can help one another here: Tristan has a magic candle (bequeathed by his long-lost mother) that can get Yvaine back to the heavens where she belongs, and he agrees to let her use it if she'll accompany him back to Wall and let him show her to Victoria. Other people want Yvaine, too, though. The king of Stormhold (Peter O'Toole) is dying, and the throne will go to whichever of his sons can 1) get the ruby that is now in Yvaine's possession, and 2) avoid being killed by his brothers. The Stormhold princes have a tendency to murder one another, you see. Their ghosts, still bearing the marks of the way they were killed, are doomed to hang around, observing and commenting and continuing to quarrel, until the matter of heirship is settled.

Self-proclaimed stuntman Rod Kimble (Samberg) is preparing for the jump of his life. Rod plans to clear fifteen buses in an attempt to raise money for his abusive stepfather Frank’s life-saving heart operation. He’ll land the jump, get Frank better, and then fight him, hard.

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE HOT ROD FROM DVDTALK

"Hot Rod" isn't so much a comedy as it is an exclusive clubhouse for those who define their existence by the articulation of their zany. It's a wild one, but not without its charms. And yes, I do write that with the full knowledge that Will Arnett appears in the film.

Rod (Andy Samberg) is a wannabe stuntman, spending his time hanging with his group of friends (including Bill Hader and Jorma Taccone), executing daredevil spectacles poorly, and trying to win the heart of his neighbor (Isla Fisher). When his stepfather (Ian McShane) needs $50,000 for heart surgery, Rod hopes to cash in on his talents and raise the money by clearing 15 school buses on a motorcycle. Conjuring the spirits of the animal kingdom and harvesting the power of a fake mustache, Rod begins a laborious training period to achieve his goal.

"Hot Rod" is the starring debut for Andy Samberg, an SNL player who always seems to struggle on the show expanding his irreverence past the three-minute mark. The pop culture icon behind the "Lazy Sunday" and "Dick in a Box" digital shorts (sadly, my heart belongs to the laser cats), Samberg is a performer of sizeable energy, but his range of laugh impact is a limited one. He's born from the Sandler School of the Absurd, stitching together a haphazard series of jokes and non-sequiturs to make "Hot Rod" the new king of the dorm room DVD collection.

DISTURBIA IS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

This movie is about a boy who is played by Shia Labuf who gets into trouble and gets put on house arrest for the summer. While being on house arrest he sees what he thinks are murders and then trys to stop the murder from committing more murders.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FROM IMDB OF THE MOVIE DISTURBIA

After his father is killed in a car accident, things unravel for Kale Brecht and he is placed under house-arrest for punching his Spanish teacher. Having nothing better to do, Kale occupies himself by spying on his neighbors. But one night, he witnesses what appears to be a murder going on in Mr. Turner's house. Kale becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind these murders but, after a few unsettling run-ins with Mr. Turner, it becomes a matter of life and death. And the ominous question: Who is watching who? Written by O.G.

After his father's death, Kale Brecht becomes sullen, withdrawn, and troubled -- so much so that he finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest after a run in with the law. His mother, Julie, works night and day to support herself and her son, only to be met with indifference and lethargy. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale. He becomes a voyeur as his interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home towards those of his neighbors, one of which Kale begins to suspect is a serial killer. But, are his suspicions merely the product of cabin fever and his overactive imagination? Written by Anonymous

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE DISTURBIA BY DVDTALK

"Disturbia" is a low-cal version of "Rear Window." Good, now that the movie fan inside of me has established the obvious, here's the truth: it's a really ho-hum, patchy rip-off of "Rear Window" that has more in common with John Hughes than Alfred Hitchcock.

After witnessing his father's death, Kale (Shia LeBeouf) is left a wounded soul. Having clocked his Spanish teacher in a split-second moment of disrespect, Kale is convicted of assault and placed under house arrest. Over the course of the summer, Kale builds his own world up in his room, observing the neighbors engaging in their daily activities, including new addition Ashley (a lifeless Sarah Roemer). Together the two spy the behavior of Turner (David Morse), a sketchy fellow who Kale believes might be responsible for a series of unsolved murders.

"Disturbia," for all its pulse-quickening intentions, is really more of a comedy than a thriller. Director D.J. Caruso ("Two for the Money," "Taking Lives," "The Salton Sea") is searching for a mixture of wacky teen skepticism and taught suspense machinations. It's a risky brew, and I was never convinced that the filmmaker held a firm grasp on the picture's tone. The first two acts are devoted almost entirely to Kale's puttering around and restricted voyeurism, with little effort made to thread in the required haunting overtones.

The picture just spins its wheels while it waits for Kale's charms and comical neighborhood watch to sink in with the audience. This would be much more easily accomplished if writers Christopher B. Landon and Carl Ellsworth (who wrote the invigorating "Red Eye," making this miss a huge question mark) invested more into ratcheting up Kale's frustrations and stagnancy. Instead, the writers water down the material to best match their intended teen audience (at one point, a flaming bag of dog feces works its way into the script), and pencil in a romance between Kale and Ashley that would hold more authenticity as Penthouse Letter.

During this time, Caruso leaves it up to LeBeouf to do whatever he wants with the character, and I use that term loosely. While I've been impressed with LeBeouf in the past, "Disturbia" comes the closest to revealing the young actor as a one-trick-pony, regurgitating his Vegas routine of snarky attitude and line-stepping improvisation to a point of exhaustion. LeBeouf doesn't attempt to find Kale a personality worthy of a lead performance; he essentially plays himself.

What makes Kale tick is never explained by the production. One minute, the kid is a bleary-eyed Xbox addict building Twinkie castles and the next he's an electronic MacGyver designing complex camera equipment for his constipated reconnaissance missions. I suppose in the larger scheme of things, questions of character depth and logic are best left for a more intelligent picture.

If LeBeouf doesn't amp disinterest in "Disturbia's" shenanigans, the critical casting mistake of David Morse might prompt even more violent eye-rolling. The hulking character actor portrays the mystery of the moment in the film; a man the script insists on suggesting holds an ambiguity that isn't supposed to payoff until the final moment. Putting Morse in this position is the worst casting decision the film makes (I write that knowing full well that Sarah Roemer is in the movie as well). Was Freddy Krueger on vacation? Michael Myers not taking calls? Part of the supposed "fun" of "Disturbia" is guessing if Turner is a menace or just misunderstood. With Morse in the role, the work has already been done for the viewer.

When the time comes for the film to go haywire, there's such a threadbare amount of interest left that Caruso has no alternative but to amp the violence and grisly details in a way that hints perhaps the PG-13 rating branded onto "Disturbia" was bought instead of awarded. The climax gets lurid to cheaply hold attention, pushing suspense buttons left and right. Not everything in the film's closer is worthy of dismissal � Caruso does pull off some nicely executed shots � but the panic comes too late, and without a decent set-up to work the audience into a lather, kicking the door down on any type of darkness comes off as pathetic, not entertaining.

Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE FINAL DESTINATION 3 DVDTALK

The Movie:

The Final Destination films are easy to dismiss as post-Scream teens in peril slasher films but whereas most of the films that ripped off Wes Craven's self referential ghost faced killer movie played it safe, James Wong and company have consistantly shown that they're not afraid to accent their movies with healthy doses of gore, gore, and more gore courtesy of some of the most creative kill scenes in the history of the sub-genre that is the slasher film.

This third film in the series, subtitled Thrill Ride, begins with an impressive sequence wherein a whole lot of people are slaughtered when a roller coaster accident causes things to go horribly wrong. Cut to Wendy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a pretty teenage girl who may or may not be able to see into the future a bit. When she starts to realize that the pictures she took the other night of her friends at the amusement park are actually clues as to how they're all going to die, she and her friend Kevin (Ryan Merriman) try to save their pals before it's too late.

Of course, as Wendy and Kevin travel around town trying to warn their fellow teenagers, they too put their lives in danger and as luck would have it, they're always a little bit too late to save anyone � either that or they're met with a 'you so crazy' look. Regardless, the end result is the same in that the teens are getting knocked off one by one in typically gruesome fashion.

Final Destination 3 is not a deep film. It's not particularly well acted, it's not all that original, and it isn't even really doing anything all that different within the limited confines of the slasher sub-genre. What the movie is, however, is fun! It's gory for the sake of being gory, the nudity is there to add nothing other than a naked lady factor and the plot, as disjointed and unrealistic as it is, exists primarily to string us along from one murder set piece to the next. The first two films did it, and this third one doesn't even try to deviate from that successful formula � this movie gives the fans what they want and what they want is gore and tits. Lose your brain at the door on the way in and enjoy the ride. Thinking too much will hurt your head but if you're able to just accept the movie for what it is you're bound to have a good time.

The kill scenes in the film are so completely preposterous that the whole thing has a very over the top and almost cartoonish vibe running throughout. There's a nice sense of dark humor to the proceedings and the way that the photographs hint at the upcoming deaths that we know are going to hit us upside the head like a 2x4 keep you guessing pretty much from the start. This results in a fairly suspenseful picture in that we know these kids are going to get it, in fact we want them to, and the question lies not in 'will they die' so much as 'how will the die?' As far as the answer to that goes, well, the deaths are the best part of the film and they won't be spoiled in this review but let it suffice to say that they do not disappoint. While there might have been a shade more blood in the second film than this one, the sheer creativity of these scenes in this film warrants a look, and in many spots they almost resemble a game of Mousetrap in the way that they're planned out, or even a game of dominos..

The DVD

Video:

Aside from some expected instances of grain in a few of the darker scenes and one or two instances were some mild mpeg compression artifacts were visible, New Line's 2.35.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer for Final Destination 3 looks great. Flesh tones appear lifelike and natural, color reproduction is very strong, and black levels remain constant and deep. Fine detail in both the foreground and the background of the image looks nice and sharp and there were only faint instances of aliasing and edge enhancement present on the picture that were just barely noticeable from time to time.

Sound:

New Line has provided audio options in both Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and DTS 6.1 Surround Sound with optional subtitles available in English and Spanish as well and with an English closed captioning option. If you've got the hardware to make it happen, the DTS track does have the slight edge over the 5.1 for the simple reason that the bass is stronger and the rear portion is filled in more. Either way, however, you'll find little to complain about here with either choice as both tracks provide plenty of nice bass response where appropriate, clear dialogue, and nice directional effects throughout. The film score is tight and bouncy and neither the music nor the effects ever over power the performers. There were one or two scenes in the film where the surrounds could have been used a little more effectively but other than that, this disc sounds excellent.

Extras:

With a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound mix and a rather large DTS 6.1 mix on disc one there wasn't a whole lot of room left for extras but there are two interesting supplements to be found on the first disc in this two disc set:

The main extra feature on this release and the biggest pull in terms of supplements is that option to watch the movie using the Choose Their Fate which, when enabled, allows you to by way of your remote control, choose what the characters do next. If you choose correctly, they'll live, and if not, well, you know what happens to teenagers in the Final Destination films by now and let's just say that it isn't pretty. Interestingly enough, if you choose correctly for a few of the scenes, you'll find yourself ending the movie before it would end in its theatrical version but you'll also be treated to a few alternate scenes in which the characters resolve things. This might sound like a rather ridiculous idea but it's actually pretty fun. It's not likely to be something that you're going to go back to time and time again but it is an interesting alternate way to enjoy and to a certain extent participate in the carnage that the movie delivers in spades. The drawback to this feature is that when you watch the movie in its regular version, you might notice a hiccup or two similar to a layer change during playback where, in the Choose Their Fate version, there would be a prompt. The intensity of these little hiccups varied on the two different players that I tried this one, with one reacting to them more harshly than the other.

Also included on the first disc is a full length director's commentary track with James Wong who is joined by screenwriter Glen Morgan and the director of photography, Robert McLachlan. Aside from a few spots of dreaded dead air, this is a pretty lively track that contains a good amount of information. Wong dominates the discussion, which makes sense as he had more to do with the final product but all three get their points across. These guys seem to have had a fun time working on the project and they come across as genuinely intelligent types with a true love for what they're doing and a nice, playful sense of humor. No one is taking the movie too seriously here and they know what kind of movie they've made but they still manage to discuss the film in an interesting and smart manner.

Disc two contains the rest of the supplements that starts off with a truly unusual seven minute cartoon called It's All Around You that explains some of the ways that people deal with having to accept the inevitable fact that death comes for us all. This is a pretty strange supplement but that being said it fits the tone of the movie well when you consider how much of the film is made up of the characters wigging out about the fact that they cannot escape their predetermined fate as predicted by the photographs.

A great twenty four minutes documentary entitled Dead Teenager Movie takes a look at the teen slasher phenomena by way of some amusing criticisms and observations, many of which are courtesy of the one and only Roger Ebert who used the titular phrase when describing the first film in his Chicago Sun review years back. Of course, this being a Final Destination movie a lot of the focus is geared towards the three films in the series and to writer/direction James Wong but that doesn't really diminish the fact that this is a surprisingly enjoyable examination of the slasher genre and the roles that teenagers inevitably always find themselves playing in it.

The mother of all supplements on the second disc comes in the form of the massive Kill Shot: Making Final Destination 3 documentary that clocks in at just a couple of minutes under an hour and a half, roughly the same length as the feature itself! By way of interviews with all of the principal players involved both in front of and behind the camera and a wealth of behind the scenes footage, this segment gives us a very detailed look at the way that the movie was made from start to finish from the script to post production tweaking. We learn how some of the effects work was done, how the movie was cast, where some of the ideas for a few of the more interesting scenes came from and what Wong wanted to do this third time out with the Franchise. New Line gives you the option of watching this mammoth piece in different sections (ten in total) or as one big super-documentary. Casual fans might find themselves skimming through it or fast forwarding in spots as it gets to be overkill almost in spots but for the dedicated Final Destination fans, this is heaven.

The last feature is called Severed Piece and like the Kill Shot documentary that came before it you can watch it in individual chunks or all at once, though this time out it adds up to about thirteen minutes of footage when it's all said and done. This section narrows down to a few specific aspects of the production, mainly effects work, pyrotechnics, miniatures and gore effects. Those who dig the 'how did they do that' aspect of filmmaking should enjoy this as it proves to be pretty interesting.

Rounding out the extra features on this release is an extended version of the scene at the police station, a couple of trailers and TV spots for the film, trailers for a few other New Line genre releases, animated menus, chapter stops, and for those who happen to be DVD-Rom equipped there's computer accessible goodies hidden away on the disc as well. It's all packaged in a two disc keepcase with a slipcase that fits on over top of it all.

Final Thoughts:

So Final Destination 3 isn't reinventing the wheel, who cares! It gives us exactly what we'd expect from the third film in the series � some amazingly creative kill scenes, gore galore, gratuitous nudity and some twisted black humor. The story is a little kooky in spots but the movie delivers in the violence department and let's face it: that's what has made these films so popular in the first place. New Line's two-disc set looks and sounds great and has some excellent extras as well. Recommended.
