When did sci-fi flicks become very slightly techie "Law & Order" episodes?

While I'm pretty sure I've been in high school detentions before that seemed harder to escape from than the facilities in this movie, I do think it's neat to be able to watch made-for-FX movies on DVD before they hit rotation because I can pause them and stuff since I don't go for the whole TIVO thing.

As for science, mostly this movie proves that you can probably get Ewan (and thus a number of "sure I'll do a movie with Ewan" actors) to act in your movie if you let him ride a hover-bike or some other really cool toy. Oh, wait, we already kinda knew that from Star Wars. Nevermind.

Armageddon: The Criterion Collection
$39.99
Great Story line -- amazing movie -- holds you in your seat -- amazing music. There isn't a negative thing to say about this movie. Great movie to see during hard times in life.

Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]
$39.99
I bought this movie in conjunction with the 2nd transformers movie (which was even better than the first). Both movies are very good and I would recommend them to anyone who likes action flicks because once the action starts it doesn't slow down very much through the whole movie. Also, if you like Shia labeouf, this is a good movie for you because he did a great job in it as well.

The Rock [VHS]
$9.99
I love this movie! It came as a suprise to me because I'm not normally a big fan of the action genre. The story itself has levels deeper than the special effects and explosions. You care about the characters and what has and will happen in their lives. Okay, completely believeable, not so much, but that's the fun of the action genre!
