While Slice's first battle would be against Bo Cantrell, a man prone to being knocked out in mere seconds, fans were ecstatic to see him in EliteXC. In addition to Kimbo's debut, the Reneg... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5585 5/11/2008 EliteXC burst onto the mixed martial arts scene with a explosive first card, titled Destiny. As seen on Showtime, this card boasts such world famous warriors as Cabbage Correira, David Loiseau, Krazy Horse Bennett, and Antonio Silva, not to mention a main event with immense tension involved. Frank Shamrock battled Renzo Gracie in that main event, i... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5584 5/11/2008 King Arthur (Sean Connery) is soon to be wed, to a beautiful young woman named Guinevere (Julia Ormond). She has been promised to Arthur by her father, so she journeys to his kingdom to offer her hand. But when she is kidnapped en route, a rather unlikely hero steps forward to save her, a roguish swordsman named Lancelot (Richard Gere). He turns co... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5583 5/10/2008 Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a loving husband and great father, but he tends to focus more on having fun with his kids, instead of being a more responsible parent. This causes conflict with his wife Miranda (Sally Field), who wants to see more routine in the family's household. Daniel works as a voice actor, but he isn't getting much work the... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5582 5/9/2008 I vaguely remember watching the commercials for "Strange Wilderness" not even 90 days ago and about the only thing that stood out was that the movie opened on my birthday. That aside, I do remember seeing something about a shark with an overbite. Yes, you read that correctly. After having seen the film in its entirety (and that word has new mean... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5581 5/9/2008 I have to be honest in that when I opened up the UPS package and saw "Shall we Dance?" tumble out, I was a bit shocked. "Why?" I thought to myself "of all the catalog titles that Disney has, why would they release this movie on Blu-Ray?" The only answer (and the only person listening) to my question was on my television every Monday night. That'... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5580 5/8/2008 No, it's not deja vu, it really is Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman in another movie together. Audiences may (or may not, now that I factor in the box office of "The Invasion") remember the two Europeans from last summer's sci-fi blunder "The Invasion") and no less than six months later, here they are again. Granted, the two don't really share a sc... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5579 5/7/2008 I'm a skeptic. I dont believe in Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster or a Sasquach. I doubt the existence of a supreme being but I do love a movie that captures my imagination and at least gives me the hought that something supernatural may or may not be out there. While I doubt that's the goal of "The Water Horse", that's a bit of what I got out of i... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5578 5/6/2008 For those that remember the Summer of 1996 (and I'm guessing that it should be just about everyone) there were a few great movies that really raked in the cash. Starting off the summer movie season was "Twister", not exactly an event movie but one that made waves at the box office. The real star of the show was the special effects, of course, but... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5577 5/2/2008 Call it what you will, but I really enjoyed "National Treasure". Call it a rip-off of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the impending "The Da Vinci Code" but put Nicholas Cage in a role and odds are that I'll come out a happy camper. Cage is one of the most talented and diverse actors working today who can easily pull off Comedy (Raising Arizona, Adapt... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5576 5/1/2008 Juan (Alberto Closas) and Maria Jose (Lucia Bose) had just finished a late night romantic tryst, when the drive back turned into a nightmare. As they drove, a man on a bicycle rode too close and was struck by the couple's automobile. Juan stopped to check on the man and discovered he was still alive, but Maria insisted they leave the scene before t... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5575 5/1/2008 We don't often hear about sharks at all, unless someone is attacked by one. The sharks have become a symbol of ocean fear, vicious creatures who thirst for human blood and attack with cause or care. In Sharkwater, biologist Rob Stewart shows us the real nature of sharks, which happens to be quite different than the commonly held opinions. Stewart a... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5574 4/30/2008 Eleven years ago Brad Pitt was still a huge movie star, but he wasnt alone at the top much like he is now. He had company. One of those men who helped rake in their share of dollars in the 80s and 90s was one Harrison Ford. Lets set the picture: Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford two of the biggest stars in 1997 were set to star in a movie together, so... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5573 4/26/2008 A group of airmen have been shot down and captured in a dense, remote Central American jungle, which makes a rescue quite difficult. But an elite squad of commandos has been assembled, one that has never failed in a mission. In the lead is Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a tough as nails soldier who never backs down from an enemy, no matte... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5572 4/25/2008 "Charlie Wilson's War" is one of those movies that was released just in time to be eligible for the Academy Awards. It's got a great cast with three Oscar winners (Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Phillip Seymour-Hoffman), a storied director in Mike Nichols and a rather interesting storyline as well. So what's not to like? Not much. Nichols, who ha... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5571 4/23/2008 Hmmm...it won't be easy to use an entire paragraph to summarize this movie, since no one seems to let the story get in the way of the action. But since I have such a fondness for the movie, I will march on, and paraphrase the very best I can. Retired Colonel John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is just trying to relax and enjoy his retirement with h... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5570 4/22/2008 August Rush (Freddie Highmore) was separated from his parents and now, he lives in an orphanage where is he pushed around and bullied. As bad as things can get there, he is able to find an escape through music, even if there is no traditional music to be heard. August can find music anywhere, from leaves rustling to the wind blowing, whatever happe... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5569 4/19/2008 I have to admit that I'm a bit of a sucker for a horror movie. Now the genre will likely never die (pardon the pun), but there are certain aspects that must be present to make a horror movie truly good (read: scary). "One Missed Call" contains none of those and as such is 87 minutes of my life that I now want back. I usually comment on the cast,... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5568 4/17/2008 Producer, writer and director J.J. Abrams is just about everywhere these days. Fans of Abrams no doubt recognize him from television's "Lost" and before that with "Alias". Abrams helmed the third part of the "Mission: Impossible" movie line with great results as well. With all of that on his resume, Abrams sought out to produce a new age horror ... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5567 4/16/2008 I hadn't seen a single episode of Human Giant until a marathon was broadcast, which showed the episodes surrounded by clips of guests stars and musical performers. The show is a manic twenty minutes, a wild assortment of sketch comedy that never seems to slow down. Aziz Ansari, Rob Huebel, and Paul Scheer anchor the show and play almost all the rol... http://www.dvdauthority.com/reviews.asp?reviewID=5566 4/15/2008
