![]() Superhero Movie (Extended Edition) $14.95 When he is bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, nerdy kid Rick Riker (played by Drake Bell) becomes a superhero, the Dragonfly. But, things are not easy for the Dragonfly. First of all, he seems to have a readymade archenemy in the form of the Hourglass (Christopher McDonald). Secondly, he has his well-meaning, but incurably clueless, Uncle Albert (Leslie Nielson) helping him out. Can he save the day? Oh boy, don't ask! OK, where do I start with this one? I have always been a fan of the Zucker comedy films - Airplane, The Naked Gun, and so forth, but by this time the jokes are getting a little thin. There is too much swearing, and the sexuality is grotesquely juvenile and highly embarrassing. To make matters worse, the DVD commits one of my unpardonable sins - it does not allow you to bypass the commercials, disabling the Menu button, and forcing the viewer to Fast Forward through each and every one. Now, as with all of the films of this genre, this movie does have its Laugh-Out-Loud moments, but not enough to make it more than just tolerable. I wanted to like this movie, I really did, but I just couldn't. So, I am afraid that I have to give it a thumbs-down. Keep moving, there's nothing to see here. ![]() The Pirate Movie $9.98 The movie arrived as scheduled and priced as posted. Play perfectly and my wife is very happy with it (one of her all time favorite movies??). The only thing, I was surprised by what looked like 2 sets of bites marks on the case, as if a dog got to it before it was mailed... ![]() The Proposal (Single Disc Widescreen) $29.99 This is a good movie for entertainment. It has many strange twists that add to the humor. It also shows us that we should not prejudge people as they may not be what them seem. My wife and I watched it several times and enjoyed it each time. ![]() Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie $29.99 Once again,Disney has captured the essence of "Disney Magic",and with another great movie with Selena Gomez.This movie is great for all ages,young and old..then again those "young at heart.Alex and her family go on a trip to Jamaica,and along the way we see Alex,Justin and Max up to their usual wizard antics. In the end,Alex becomes the family wizard.It's a very well written movie,I only wish it were alittle longer. If anyone has a bright future ahead,its none other than Miss Selena Gomez. Relive the adventures of Alex,Justin and Max,as they attempt to restore their family with the help of the stone of dreams.I think from this movie, Alex has learned "be careful what you wish for". I cannot wait to see what other movies lie ahead in Selena's Future. This is definitely one for the Family DVD Library,of those who are true diehard Disney Families,who love movies that have a heartwarming story. |
