DVD: martial     DVD:       The Forbidden Kingdom (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray]64 reviews Jet Li, Michael Angarano Lions Gate, 2008 It's a fun story I'm not a huge fan of Chinese mythos and didn't know the story of the Monkey king for anything of that nature, but Jackie Chan and Jet Li, you can't go wrong with two of the worlds greatest martial artists signing on. I was surprised the story revolved around a kid from America, I did not see that coming, but overall I think it is a fun tail. And the special features are excellent too. ...             Kung Fu Panda (Widescreen Edition)21 reviews David Cross, Angelina Jolie Dreamworks Animated, 2008 Cute Animated Comedy That Inspires Lessons in Life From the very beginning, Kung Fu Panda had me practically falling out of my seat --- laughing. It was the perfect blend of comedy, heart, and action, all necessary elements in a successful and great animation/CGI film, in the tradition of The Incredibles and (less action, but containing the heart and laughter) Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc. I was laughing, smiling, and guffawing ...             Kill Bill - Volume One1132 reviews Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu Miramax, 2004 Bon appetit, good buddy... -The greatest pure action flick ever made- This is the cinematic weapon of mass destruction, the dream girl orgie of film ecstasy, the Tiger Woods of action-driven movie mania. Kill Bill is in a class all its own, an experience like you've never witnessed before. Tarantino pays homage to many of his favorite films, directors, and genres while incorporating his own distinct style. I'll use ...             The Forbidden Kingdom64 reviews Jet Li, Michael Angarano Lions Gate, 2008 It's a fun story I'm not a huge fan of Chinese mythos and didn't know the story of the Monkey king for anything of that nature, but Jackie Chan and Jet Li, you can't go wrong with two of the worlds greatest martial artists signing on.

I was on a long flight back from California when I had the choice between watching Kung Fu Panda on a tiny television screen four feet away from me, or read the SkyMall catalog. I wisely chose to watch Kung Fu Panda. I was curious as to how Kung Fu Panda would present itself: as a Lion King-style retelling of ancient Chinese myth, or as a love note to kung fu films from an American ...             Equilibrium549 reviews Christian Bale, David Barrash Dimension, 2003 Top notch future cop shooter slasher flick The violence and cinematography in this film are first class. There's plenty of action and a good presentation of a dark, sinister future. Bale is on good form and the whole film delivers very, very well indeed.             Kill Bill - Volume Two579 reviews Larry Bishop, Sid Haig Miramax Home Entertainment, 2004 Finally Volume 2 in Blu-ray w/HDMI & 5.1 for the HD Home Theater does this masterpiece film Justice!!

Years ago I earned a brown belt in Kenpo style Karate. Having been diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, I decided to recently add martial arts to my exercise routines. Since I can no longer spar or even go barefoot because of foot nueropathy, I decided on tai chi. ...             Hero430 reviews Jet Li, Tony Leung Chiu Wai Miramax, 2004 Visual Poetry and Martial Arts Perfection for fanboys and filmsnobs, alike. . . First off, it is important to note that this version is the shorter, American version. While some of the changes were subtle, they do take away from what I consider to be a flawless film. For instance, the translation of Huang Di in this version is 'Our Land'. And while that seems nice, the true translation is 'All Under Heaven'. Just has so much more poetry to it. If you enjoyed this film ...             The Crow (Miramax/Dimension Collector's Series)301 reviews Brandon Lee, Rochelle Davis Dimension, 2001 The Crow - A triumph in comic adaptations Director Alex Proyas' American film debut and Brandon Lee's final performance before his untimely death The Crow sours on black wings straight out of the darkest portions of the imagination. A dark, visually luscious and captivating tale The Crow (Based on the graphic novel and comics by James O'Barr) truly is a sight to behold. Proyas demonstrates his artistic abilities in creating films with ...             The Last Samurai (Two-Disc Special Edition)693 reviews Ken Watanabe, Tom Cruise Warner Home Video, 2004 Tom Cruise at his best! Okay, so I might like Tom Cruise more than your average person, but no one can say this movie was poorly done or that the acting was bad. EXCELLENT movie!!             The Matrix2952 reviews Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne Warner Home Video, 1999 The Greatest Science Fiction Movie EVER "Wake Up, Neo". With those three seemingly simple words, the entire concept of the Matrix is born. Part science fiction, part philosophical musing, part action-adventure, "The Matrix" is, pure and simple, the most well-crafted science fiction film of all-time. The film, set in a human future where machines control the human race and use humans much like we currently use batteries, centers ...             The Last Dragon246 reviews Taimak, Vanity Sony Pictures, 2001 Classic! This is hands down, one of the best urban-type movies from the 1980's!! So much so that my brothers, cousins, friends and I still find ourselves making references to various scenes 'til this day. It was like we really lived this movie during our childhood, not to mention practiced some of 'Bruce Leroy's' martial art moves as well. Plus, he is just so handsome and charismatic with his "moves" in ...             Enter the Dragon267 reviews Bruce Lee, John Saxon Warner Home Video, 1998 Bruce Lee's enter the Dragon My Dad is going to love this when he comes back to visit in Dec. 2008. He took us to the movies to see this film in 1973 or 1974 can't pin point it I was about 7 or 8yrs old. My kids say whose better Bruce Lee or Jet Lee? My son said Bruce of course, so I said lets have a history lesson. Classic good digital color and sound. Must have in your library.             A Few Good Men (Special Edition)148 reviews Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson Sony Pictures, 2001 DVD Movie Review Always a great story that would interest all ages--except for some salty language. Interesting to see the internal workings of the military minds.             Never Back Down33 reviews Sean Faris Summit Entertainment, 2008 Good If you are in the target audience Ok, first off, people need to see this movie for what it is; a fast paced action flick full of girls, cars and fighting. This film is aimed squarely at a younger audience (like myself, 18) who enjoy some good action, even if it doesn't have the best plot, which, I will admit, is very thin. And to all the old farts giving their snobish reviews, go watch romantic comedies or some independent film ...             Enter the Dragon [Blu-ray]267 reviews Bruce Lee, John Saxon Warner Home Video, 2007 Bruce Lee's enter the Dragon My Dad is going to love this when he comes back to visit in Dec. 2008.

For several months we have been searching every video store in hopes of finding Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, only to come up short time and time again. We even checked every $5 bin with exhaustion. The only thing we could come across was Under Siege which we have already watched/reviewed/loved but never it's b counterpart #2.
