DVDs to look for





Clover Field
DVD Release Date 04/22/08
It was pretty awesome. When you first start watching it you get kind of pissed off and feel like you are going to throw up. After a while though you get over it and actually enjoy the movie. None of the good parts are during the throw up phase so no big deal. I took Dad to see this and he even liked it. Dad liking a movie is a pretty big thing, so just for that you should see it. Yeah it’s a great monster movie, plenty of humor, lots of action, a bunch of little creepy monsters and one freakin huge one. It doesn’t disappoint on special effects and it keeps you wrapped up in it all the way to the end. Definitely a must buy, or at the very least rent. 4 of 5 on the awesomeness scale


National Treasure: Book of Secrets
DVD Release Date 05/20/08
A well put together movie with its share of flaws but generally a good movie to watch. Feels like they kind of threw the story together in order to capitalize off the first one. It’s clever but not that clever. It will keep the kids entertained and it has its chare of history and when Nicholas cage acts drunk in Buckingham Palace, you pretty much want to pee yourself. Good Stuff. 3 of 5 on the awesomeness scale




Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
DVD Release Date 04/15/08
This movie picked up right after the last one left off. The spin on this one is that the new Alien has come from a predator. So you have the sweet looking dread locks of the predator mixed with the all around nastiness of the Alien. The movie is really dark, everything takes place at night and it’s hard to see a lot of the action. I’ve always been a fan of predator ever since Arnold, but this one seems lacking on the awesomeness scale. The predator still has his usual goals in mind, kill any kind of threat, control the outbreak of aliens, and maintain honor. Like any other predator movie though, the predator dies. Always seems to happen. Oh well. I will buy it cause I am nerd but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone that aren’t specific fans of the series. 2 of 5 on the awesomeness scale


Rambo
DVD Release Date 05/27/08This movie is a must see just for the plain fact that Stallone is like 80 and he can still pull off being a bad mama jamma. It’s a pretty bloody movie and pretty hardcore when it comes to the violence. They spare no expense on the language or on the amount of dead bodies they can pile up. Don’t see it if you are wanting to see a great movie, see it if you want to place bets on whether or not Stallone lives, the bad guys kill him, or if he falls over dead from a heart attack. I liked it cause it was just a senseless good time of bad guys dying and Stallone messing people up. 2.5 of 5 on the awesomeness scale
