The Two Coreys

Crank 2: High Voltage (Two-Disc Special Edition)
$34.98
I decried the treatment and presentment of women in the original CRANK without seeming to notice there is no one in either movie, man OR woman, who is anything but trashy. I guess the women in glass bowls distracted me. Regardless, we have more of the same here, just no bowls this time. Mostly it's trying to figure out why suddenly there is no longer any poison in Chev's bloodstream slowing killing him after seeing him literally scrapped off the pavement with a shovel and dumped into the truck of a car. Then on an operating table with his various parts being cut out and sold. He seems to do well with having his heart removed but objects, as any manly man would, to having his "goodies" removed, leaps up, slams the doctors around and escapes. Most folks after heart surgery (much less having it completely removed) would have to have a lot of time to recover but not this guy. He's up and around like Superman. But wait, there's more! We go from amusing, to silly amusing, to silly, to (MOVIE SPOILER) two main characters turned into CG Godzillas battling it out in a miniturized power plant - I kid you not.

Appalled at the way Amy Smart was treated in the first I'd concluded there had been script changes because I couldn't understand why someone as talented as Smart would consent to the China Town public sex exhibition. Apparently, I was wrong again! We take public sex to a whole new level when Chev and Eve "do it" on a race track, complete with screaming crowds and at least one aroused horse bounding over them. (Oh good, we're back to YEECH!) Dwight Yoakam once again amazes with his performance as Chev's private physician.

There is amusing and there is completely idiotic. We being with one, and about 2/3's of the way through this thing pretending to be entertainment find ourselves deeply intrenched in the other. My advice is, if you must have Statham -- and I'm one of those -- stick with CRANK and tell yourself over and over, "There is no CRANK II. There is no CRANK II. It's an illusion...."

Dream A Little Dream 2
$6.99
I went through a period of fandom for Feldman and Haim and watched every movie of theirs I could get my hands on. Even then, in the height of my adoration of the two, it was hard to enjoy this, and now it's just downright horrendous.

It's probably a good movie to drink excessively to. Maybe you could take a shot every time you hear another bad Corey Feldman song on the soundtrack, or every time their lips aren't in sync with the audio track. OR, every time Feldman has another Michael Jackson-esque wardrobe change!

The acting is sub-par even for the Corey's. The budget is low even for a B movie. The "unbelievably hot babe that all the guys want" wasn't even mildly attractive. She had acne scars and untamed hair and wore a ridiculous shade of all purple that wasn't even appealing back in the 90's. The dialog is utterly ludicrous, and I've a feeling that Feldman might have had a hand in writing it, considering how largely his name is plastered on the cover and the music and how cool it attempts (and fails) to make him look.

Dream a Little Dream was an enjoyable, if bad, classic 80's flick. Both the boys were decent in it even if the plot was sort of insubstantial. Dream a Little Dream 2 is a sad attempt to reconnect on past glory.

I bought it for $5. It's fun to laugh at. :-)

Transformers: Season 2, Volume 2 (25th Anniversary Edition)

i just know this is gonna be good im a big transformers fan and i remember watchin this cartoon as a kid and i cant waite to have the whole collection on dvd

Transformers: Season Two, Volume 1 (25th Anniversary Edition)
$29.99
I said it. The writing is greatly improved and the production quality skyrocketed compared to season 1. If you love Transformers G1 and have to choose between season 1 and 2. Get this by all means. Plus it contains the episode with the most brilliant subtle joke ever on Transformers. All the Autobots easily make the jump up the cliff except one who stumbles slightly while pursing the ninja robot. It's not like they said his name a million times right before to make sure everyone got the joke. The plots are deeper with better character development and there is far less reliance on puns. There is an episode where the Decepticons get drunk. It is absolutely hilarious. So many great moments scattered through the disks. I highly recommend it.

P.S. Watching this collection reminds my why I hate Michale Bay so much.
