DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "It's exactly how I remember -- overblown, downright silly, and takes itself way too seriously." Quote: "Star Wars did more to shape film than Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, and The Godfather put together. Want to deny it? You can't!" Quote: "It seems like it would be claustrophobic -- a prison isn't a very big place, and a cell less so -- but the creators draw upon a wide pool of inmates and staff, plus the conspiracy outside the walls, to create a rich environment ripe with possibilities beyond the escape itself." Quote: "During the commentary for 'Starcrossed,' one of the participants jokes, 'It can't be a cartoon, it's too good.' That's really how I feel about Justice League." Quote: "If Roddenberry was so interested in presenting a humanist universe, why introduce a god as a recurring character and yet not explore what that means to those who don't believe in the supernatural?" Quote: "There's no context, no outside opinion, no contradiction, no corroboration. It's simply one man's thoughts...about himself. The viewpoint makes The Goebbels Experiment distinctive, but not particularly engaging." Quote: "The Replacement Killers tells the story of 'John Lee' (Chow Yun-Fat, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), a badass killer. We know he's a badass killer because the movie opens with him killing a guy in a badass way." Quote: "While he's the principled hero who would rather solve problems through peaceful means that we've come to expect, when push comes to shove, why is it that Superman's the one who gets shoved?" Quote: "What you get in Curse of the Were-Rabbit is old-fashioned entertainment. Its pace is more sedate, its values more friendly. The art style in which it's told -- an antiquated, irrelevant means of producing movies -- is key to bringing the story to life, because you absolutely could not reproduce the charm of Wallace and Gromit with paints or pixels." Quote: "Ron Perlman is such a great choice for the voice of a comic book villain. Sure, he was great as a hero in Hellboy, but that rich, deep voice is the perfect match for a baddie. He never really does anything other than sound evil and try to destroy the Titans, but this is comic book drama -- does the villain need anything do to other than fight the good guys?" |
