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. And, if anything, the sequel is better. Better villains, better story, and even better action. There’s one sequence, in particular, featuring a fire hose that you have to see to believe.

Instead of plugging some other action titles, I’m going to use the second paragraph to recommend Hustle and Flow, another new release this week. Terence Howard gives one of the best performances of the year, giving great depth, emotion and empathy to a streetwise pimp trying to make it as a rap star. Hopefully he’ll get the Oscar nomination he richly deserves.

That’s it for now.

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 concept - two very eligible bachelors crashing weddings to pick up women - to it’s inspired casting - Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as the best friends (What is it about pairing Vaughn with a Wilson brother? See Old School for further proof) - Wedding Crashers is definitely one of the best comedies of the last five years. Also notable for being one of two films from the summer of 2005 that announced Rachel McAdams as an A-list leading lady.

Then, if you’re in the mood for more Vaughn and Wilson, have a look at Dodgeball, and Behind Enemy Lines. Dodgeball gives you Vaughn in classic form. Definitely one of his best perfs. While Behind Enemy Lines offers a chance to see Owen stretch a bit in an action movie.

Hope 2006 gives you all the DVD’s you’ve ever wanted.

Bob out.
