![]() Sugar Hill $9.98 Came alittle damaged in package but overall great price, great product. Would recommend for business! ![]() The Contractor $14.94 The Contractor is not a poorly-made movie. Its production values seem high, the acting is decent and it even has a very good soundtrack. It was interesting to have the protagonist helped by a 12 year old girl, but the plot, by and large, is a bit of a yawner. Though Snipes turns in a good performance, the people who rent or (sadly) purchase this film will do so hoping to see Wesley Snipes in martial arts fights. There are no fight scenes in this movie. There is one four-second scene where Snipes beats a guy up, but that's it. The action in this movie is very sparse. They could have played it more as a noir, but didn't. Instead it plays like a ho-hum espionage drama. What action scenes are present suffer from very bad editing. Not a very entertaining film. ![]() Drop Zone $9.98 I just recently watched this film and I nearly dropped dead, from how awesome this movie is. Every actor/actress in this film is completely in the zone the entire time. Not one of them drops a line or zones out for even a millisecond. My friend dropped this movie off the other night and I was getting a little bored of playing Zone of the Enders so I decided to drop the disc into my DVD player. As the laser zoned in onto the disc, action packed poetry in motion erupted onto my HD television (which has a general viewing zone of 31.5"). The first skydiving scene absolutely blew me away. So much so that I accidentally dropped my Pizza Hut PaZone on my lap. The pacing of this film is impeccable and never drops a beat. The only thing really lacking in the pacing was heart pounding tunes dropping every couple of minutes, such as Kenny Loggins, Highway to the Danger Zone. I don't want to drop too many hints and spoil the thrilling ending to this film but it is definitely one to remember. The first thing I did after finishing the film was look it up on IMDB to see how many awards it won. Needless to say, my jaw dropped when I saw that this film had won nothing. I said to myself, "what am I in the the Twilight Zone or something?" My "no spin zone" final review of this film is A+. The DVD version looks drop dead gorgeous on an HDTV. I also highly recommend ordering this movie on Amazon. They will drop ship it speedily to your front door within a day!(depending on when you place your order and what time zone you are in) ![]() The Art of War II: Betrayal $14.94 I'm a Snipes fan so I'm a little biased. I also really enjoyed the first movie and wanted to see this one, and I wanted it to be good. This one is no comparison to the first one and probably doesn't deserve 3 stars, but I'm a fan and the movie does have its moments. |
