While by no means a great move, the film is a textbook example of what happens when an interesting script gets handled by the wrong director. ... http://www.bobondvd.com/?p=15 Hey action fans. You know I didn’t steer you wrong with Ong Bak, so believe me when I tell you to get you hands on a copy of Transporter 2 as soon as you can. Jason Statham returns as Frank Martin in this sequel to the 2002 surprisingly successful original. ... http://www.bobondvd.com/?p=14 Hey everyone, Bob here. Happy 2006! Hope your holiday was a blast, full of eating, drinking and plenty of movie viewing. I thought we’d start 2006 with one of the best comedies of 2005, Wedding Crashers, new this week on DVD. This is a very funny movie. From its solid ... http://www.bobondvd.com/?p=13 New to DVD this week comes Mr. & Mrs. Smith, starring two A-listers who haven’t been in the news very much this year, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt… not.

Maybe it’s because it’s September and the baseball playoff races are heating up, maybe it’s because I like sports movies, ... http://www.bobondvd.com/?p=8 A Batman movie emphasizing character, story and emotional reality? Say it ain’t so. Well, fortunately for us, it’s very so. Christopher Nolan’s thoughtfully directed Batman Begins is a super-hero movie for adults. And by adults I don’t mean old people. I mean people who enjoy smart, well-acted, sharply directed movies. ... http://www.bobondvd.com/?p=7 Hey there DVD fans, just released in stores for the first time ever on DVD is The Sound of Music: 40th Anniversary Edition and, I gotta say, I’m still a sucker for this classic.
