My 'R' DVD Collection

Really shocking than the original 1976 movie in the scene of when Rachel's (Emily Bergl) temper's crossed it triggers a powder-keg of anger and unleashes special powers that can turn a fun, house party into a mad-house inferno.

One of my very favourite legal movie adaptation of John Grisham's bestseller. A very delight, emotional and exciting drama about an idealistic young attorney who takes on the case of a lifetime from start to finish.

Great warmth, romance and laugher with Kate Hudson as a hard-working fashion executive is turned upside when she's unexpectedly named guardian of her late sister's three troublesome kids!

Sylvester Stallone made this action-packed movie very graphic violence and plenty of noises than the past Rambo series. Awesome! And I'm a bit surprised to see Stallone is still fit enough on his current age (over 60s) for his heroic character like he did on Rocky Balboa and in his John Rambo character seems a bit familiar of himself from the past series after 20 years later.

Good little thriller, mystery and affairs as I am a big fan of Harrison Ford movies.

I'm such a fan of the manga comic book, Ranma 1/2, a gender and shape shifting, romance, martial arts and mass confusion. Brilliant funny and adventure of Ranma and Co. come to rescue Akana who is kidnapped by the Seven Lucky Gods of martial arts.

This sequel Ranma 1/2 anime is so hilarious with cool martial arts where Ranma and Co. are shipwrecked on a small island.

What a riveting thriller in the stunning performances by Mel Gibson and Rene Russo, they reunite again since Lethal Weapon 3, as millionaire parents whose son is kidnapped.

Awesome! Brandon Lee's film is a fast-packed action in his martial arts sequences against the mobsters and drug lord.

Best and non-stop funny on the race since It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963).

Incredible teen drama and the best one of James Dean's movies I ever watched.

Hilarious! Precious film minutes are wasted as Martin Lawrence ho-hums the gig, Pace picks up when he puts his heart into transforming his geeky team into confident winners. Despite a few humour gaps, the film manages to entertain in large part because of the believability of the painful, embarrassing moments the kids experience asking the way.

One of my favourite Richard Gere's movies. This is brilliant suspense thriller with shocking and compelling mystery where danger never lets up.

American high school kids vs. the Russians and Cubans in the Soviet War. Way to go, USA of Wolverine.

This remake from 1986's Michael Mann's Manhunter is much better and thrilling, and even inevitable, given the cultural impact of Anthony Hopkins's performances as Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lector in The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Edward Norton's portrayal of FBI agent Will Graham gives this movie its moral centre and believability.

Superb horror thriller in an aeroplane, then the hotel with a game from a likeable heroine Rachel McAdams. Cillian Murphy is perfect as the charismatic stranger.

Warren Beatty produced, directed, cowrote and starred in this $33 million American film masterpiece. This three-hour biography film was ambitious interesting about love partnership of two American journalists Beatty and Diane Keaton made amazing performances. Also features brilliant bits from Jack Nicholson, Gene Hackman, and Maureen Stapleton.

Melodramatic tale of a scheming, cheating lawyer who suddenly begins his afresh as New Man, all caring, wonderful and honest.

Really cool action-packed and suspense story of an ex-con Ben Affleck who has been double-crossed after he was released from jail. God, Charlize Theron is so bloody hot.

Two thumbs up for a cool mythical beast prowls among the exhibits in this sci-fi/thriller film. Would I call it's an Alien in a museum. Heh!

Spectaular and funny adventure film of a street smart cop turned as the no. 1 recruit of top secret organisation.

Cool explosive action in Chow Yun-Fat's debut Hollywood movie.

Really hilarious of the American football team and hottest of the cheerleaders. I was so happy to see a deaf guy appeared as one of players of the cool team in this sport comedy film with use his own American Sign Languages.

Preposterous thriller stars Jean-Claude Van Damme not once but twice, playing a clone of himself. The original Van Damme is a vicious serial killer terrorising Seattle. The second Van Damme is a clone of the killer, created with the hopes of being used to track down the original. It plays as silly as it sounds, a sci-fi rehash of several genres with as much flair and excitement as dead grass. The production values are higher, but the acting and script are direct-to-video masterpiece.

This horror-action based on the popular video game series film is superb and shocking with sexy Milla Jovovich as the heroine who fights against the undead and evil.

The Sketchy story is little more than a nod to dark city action such as Escape From New York and the film never stops feeling like the video games that inspired it. but an excellent cast adds personality, while the action slams along. Milla Jovovich displays the mournful desperation that steadied her otherwise comic character in The Fifth Element.

Cool action-horror with the return of the heroine Alice (Milla Jovovich) in this based on the video game movie. Jovovich's action performances seem fantastic and these zombies are excellent in the make-up effect to look very dry skin at the desert.

Cool Hong Kong action of the vengeances between the good and evil gangsters.

A sequel from Escape to Witch Mountain is an okay family film, but weak Disney. Christopher Lee and Bette Davis' performances were average so are the special effects. I can't wait to see the new reimagining of Witch Mountain starring Dwayne Johnson this year.

Actress-director Bonnie Hunt makes this wonderful comedy-drama film which seems very emotionally, heartwarming and funny of the young couple who has a very strong heart like fell in love, neither aware of the medical miracle that bonds them; the point of the story is what will happen after they do find out. The result is a charming example of the kinder, gentler filmmaking that couples or parents often complain we "don't see enought of anymore." And the seniors are really hilarious.

Powerful civil war film about two guerillas are keen to fight against the onslaught of the North.

Unbelievable this true story of Beverly Donofrio's life is full of funny story than drama that I really like it.

One of my very favourite and all-the-time John Wayne western movies of the year.

Great epic battle with the Apaches in this John Ford classic and John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara are wonderful in their performance as the couple. Believe this is the last entry in director John Ford's celebrated cavalry trilogy (which also includes Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon).

Fast-moving, exciting and totally engrossing of John Wayne western film. And Jack Elam is terrific in a delightful supporting role.

Director Phil Kaufman delivers an excellent somewhat confusing thriller based on Michael Crichton's novel that attempting to tone down the alleged Japan-bashing. Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes are terrific in what is best viewed as another in the long line of cop/buddy flicks.

Best of the 1980's teen sex comedy and Rebecca DeMornay is hottest actress who makes a dynamic movie debut as liberated call girl. She made me drooling. LOL!

Just a good emotionally-charged film celebrates the triumph of a young rural couple as they face nature's greatest ravages, the threat of poverty and a wrenching separation.

Love this Marilyn Monroe's Old West film with Robert Mitchum.

I started to like Meryl Streep in this adventure-thriler film because she's fantastic for the American deaf culture by using American sign language in her character. And she successfully invades Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone territory when her family is terrorized by a psychotic killer while on a white-water rafting vacation.

Two thumbs up!

Good action as I found out Patrick Swayze is a real-life martial artist.

This Depression-era drama is a gorgeous, flawless cinematic vision from director Sam Mendes, who understands his craft so well. Tom Hanks, Paul Newman and Jude Law are excellent on their performances in this gangster film based on the graphic novel.

Heaps of teen comedy and sexual with unrated and uncensored in the DVD than theatrical version - AMAZING! BLOODY FUNNY! I like Amy Smart in naked!

The quite fine adventure film is full of heroes that are larger than life, villians who are more than evil, one of the greatest love stories ever told and one of the greatest adventures of all time. Believe me, this story is kind of funny between Robin and Marion in their old times when they grow older.

Kevin Costner makes a likeable Robin Hood, good fun, full of spectacle and great gags. Alan Rickman's the one who steals the picture as the hysterically funny, yet never les than evil, Sheriff of Nottingham.

Excellent action-sci-fi film and Peter Weller does an excellent job as a super-cyborg cop.

This sequel has plenty of nasty violence. I like the scenes of RoboCop vs RoboCop 2.

Robert John Burke is a worst performance in this prequel metal hero film without Peter Weller.

Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage are superb in this hard-hitting action and suspense film.

The flying sequences are incredibly jerky and unbelievable, as is the airship.

Sylvester Stallone made a great acting, screenwriter and boxing choregrapher in this boxing drama story.

The first Rocky is better than this sequel after a down-and-out fighter attempting to prove himself through a rematch with the champ.

This third Rocky Balba series is surprisingly entertaining with the perfomrances including Mr. T and wrestler Hulk Hogan. Sylvester Stallone manages to make it work.

The best one of Rocky movies because it excites me to watch USA vs USSR in the champion boxing match - really tough.

Rocky is no longer a boxer turned to boxing coach instructor as his former coach with good old memories from the first original film.

Fantastic and "knockout" of Sylvester Stallone's return as the old Italian Stallion boxer since 16 years (from 1990 to 2006). Stallone seemed fit enough for his own boxing training in his own filming - wow! And good memories of places where Rocky and his widow first met and in the boxing club after 30 years later that I last remembered.

Audrey Hepburn is wonderfully performance in her first starring role of this white and black romantic comedy film.

Splendid tongue-in-check old-fashioned adventure, with lots of gags, plenty of top-notch action and superb hate-each-other chemistry between the two stars.

Shakespeare with kung fu? This is the mostly amazing action of Jet Li's debut US Joel Silver-produced martial arts fest takes its cues from William Shakespeare's crossed lovers and adds lots of CG enchanted fight scenes.

Russell Crowe has an excellent performance in this Aussie film as the hell-raising skinhead leader of the gang. Because he won the AFI Award for best actor.

Two thumbs up for the dumb blondes - so hilarious.

Loves the dynmite car chase scene.

Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen are terrific buddy cops in this tough and gritty action movie.

Very good warmhearted and often humourous tearjerker about the relationship of cantankerous Polish-American baker and his grandson throughout 30 years.

Steve Martin wrote this brilliant romantic comedy in a modern version of Cyrano de Bergerac.

Jackie Chan rocks. Wow! What a non-stop fighting.

Fine thriller of a futuristic cop (Tom Selleck) trying to track down robots that have gone bad. The acid-squirting, exploding electric spiders are a good touch of genius.

My favourite screen couple reunites this runaway romantic-comedy is much hilarious.

One of the best John Grimsham's films based on a novel since A Time to Kill. Thumbs up to classy actors in the support ranks.

Good comedy-drama of the political and candidate with Tom Selleck and his female co-stars.

Supercharged action-packed opening this gritty actioner film winds you up and doesn't let go for a minute. Paul Walker's best performance and always make plenty of cool coarse languages.

Brilliant action-comedy with Jackie Chan, the fastest hands in the East, and Chris Tucker, the biggest mouth in the West which is better than any Lethal Weapon seen before!

This action-comedy sequel is explosively action-packed and outrageously sharp and funny than the first one. The final showdown in Las Vegas is really exciting and Zhang Ziyi's performance is cool as the seductively evil henchwoman.

I couldn't stop laughing at Chris Tucker's bloody non-stop mouth talking and his acting and Jackie Chan's amazing fighting skills and aerobatics against the enemies - more exciting action-comedy since the sequels of Rush Hour series. Their characters are like the old times since almost 10 years. Tell you the truth, I really like the second one the best because of excitement with cop buddies in the casino and sexy female fatale.

Given the video game origins, it's only fitting that the latest in the Resident Evil franchise should be rendered as a feature-length CG anime which is familiar to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The characters look so real - the detail in these CGI creations is amazing - that I can tell the difference between them and the stars of the previous movie!

This sequel of The Man from Snowy River is so impressive that possesses every essential characteristic of the first film; sensationally beautiful cinematography, a stunning focus of the Australian high country, the second most impressive footage of horses ever filmed. Director Geoff Burrowes has done a superb job with this film so are two actors, Tom Burlinson and Sigrid Thornton, who returned to their characters. I really liked the horse scenes that makes you go exciting like a roller coaster ride.

Writer-director Quentin Tarantino made his debut film with the story of a diamond heist (like Men in Black) gone awry. Strong ensemble acting and a brain-twisting array of unexpected plot turns make this one of the best crime-thrillers ever made. The brutal violence may be too much for some, but it is never glorified.
The cast are excellent and turn the hard-boiled dialogue into convincing scenes. Harvey Keitel is wonderful. His character is a father figure of sorts and he is wildly out of control at times and balanced at others. Likewise Steve Buscemi is wide-eyed and freaking out for much of the film, but he does it well. Tim Roth is more balanced but is still good for it; it is his job to carry the emotional weight of the film and he does it well, despite a wandering American accent at times. Michael Madsen is great, maybe not the best character but wildly out of control. Lawrence Tierney was a great piece of casting, as was Bunker. Chris Penn was good, but not the best of the cast.

Star-studded enjoyable Jackie Chan movie with an excellent combination of action and comedy, and adorable baby! This have been touched upon in movies like Three Men and a Baby, or even Raising Arizona. TWO THUMBS UP!
Jackie isn't what he used to be back in the heyday of 1980's Hong Kong cinema, but his top notch action choreography is still inventive and fun to watch, and there are many fun set pieces. The comedy is also very well done and there are many endearing scenes with the real star of the show, baby Matthew Medvedev, who will melt any viewer's heart. Jackie and his co-stars' characters are very sympathetic and the acting for the most part is spot on. Benny Chan does an excellent job directing his stars and shows that he is not only able to direct a serious action crime drama like Chan's previous New Police Story but is also adept at the family action comedy as well. There are many cameos from well known HK stars, so be sure to watch out for them.

A romantic melodrama that is badly dated, especially considering the fact that it top lines John Wayne and he doesn't get the girl in the last reel.
There's been some criticism by other reviewers that Joan Crawford doesn't sound French. Then again neither does anyone else in the film. The rest of the cast.
