DVDetails
The hippest, funniest and most unique place on the web for DVD reviews, entertainment news and DVD give-aways … o’right!
Natalie Portman in the DVDetails bunker
When Natalie Portman visited stopped by, we considered sitting her down with the Dude. But considering she speaks half a dozen languages and is well versed in the finer points of microfinance … well, we couldn't do that to her.
Where there's a Will there's a Dude
The Dude has a beer with Will Smith to talk zombies, acting and the soon to be released I Am Legend DVD, but quickly finds himself way out of his depth. Which should not surprise anyone really...
Californication
The first series of Californication is a sexy romp that follows David Duchovny, the human embodiment of a rollercoaster, as he battles writer's block,
Death Proof
As someone who grew up just inside the 70s – okay, way inside – I can’t decide if Death Proof pays homage to the retro movies of the era, or takes the piss. Is the grainy, jumpy, low-budget style meant to be a respectful tip o’ the lid to the B-grade genre, or is it a sarcastic joke?
Anime
I’m a girl who will give anything a go to find the right man, so when I was asked out to a movie night with a group of bachelors I thought “why not”. What I'd actually been invited to was an 'anime movie night. What is anime anyway? Aren’t they just cartoons?
1408
1408 would rank as the most boring movie I have seen for a long time – and to put this into its full context, you have to take into account the fact that last week, I watched The Lake House!
The City of Violence
Now, let me tell you ladies, The City of Violence promised so much, what with the cover adorned with statements like “a ballet of gymnastic violence from the Korean Tarantino.” Let this be a warning to you: ballet and violence should bot be used in the same sentence. Ever.
BLACK SHEEP
I watched this movie with out any prejudgments - even after seeing the hideous trailers. But I have learnt my lesson about being a non-biased movie reviewer ... because Black Sheep was a rubbish movie.
Hairspray
It’s a big gamble taking a successful broad-way musical and turning it into a feature film. Okay, okay, so it paid off with Chicago but I’m sad to report that when it came to Hairspray, they should have let it be.
No Reservations
For a successful rom-com you need three crucial ingredients, chemistry between your two leads, a strong female protagonist and most importantly enough sizzle to keep the film cooking. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart tick the first two boxes but unfortunately leave the film a little overdone with not enough juice.
The Invisible
Don't you just hate it when a movie has a really strong start, only to fall on its ass half way through? It's like the makers think we have them hooked we can just slack off for the last 45 minutes and they wont notice.
Heath Ledger tribute
The world has a lost a great actor, nay an artist, in Heath Ledger. While other media groups investigate how he died and who he was with, here at DVDetails HQ, we’ve been discussing the man’s movies. Leave your thoughts here.
Sicko
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m all for your standard left wing, commie, government-critical, heart-wringing documentary, but Michael Moore’s latest ‘ain’t those government folks bad’ doco Sicko quite frankly leaves you feeling a bit ill in the stomach.
Alpha Dog
Alpha Dog is one of those dark and disturbing movies. To be honest, it caused me a similar unease to the one I felt after watching shock titles such as Kids and Bully. Naturally it's more disturbing watching kids do bad things in films than adults, and in Alpha Dog the kids do very bad things.
Evan Almighty
Bruce Almighty was one of those films that you knew was going to be funny. Jim Carrey was at the height of his powers, Jennifer Aniston was hot as, Morgan Freeman was well cast, and the story was pretty original. All of which was always going to make Evan Almighty a tough act to follow.
Noise
Get ready, because I am about to make a very big call, Noise is the best DVD of 2007. Shocked? Well, so was I when I sat down to watch this flick. I had no idea that after one hundred and eight minutes of gripping storytelling, I would be making such a claim.
Die Hard 4.0
The next time you set foot Down Under Bruce Willis, the Dude challenges you to a tabloid sports-style contest of Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, Sale of the Century and Boggle my friend, and we’ll see once and for all who is the sharpest tool in the shed.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Let me tell you this truth right up front. I 'aint gonna sugar coat it. It's fess-up time: The only reason I wanted to review this here queer movie 'bout Chuck and Larry doing their thing, is that there's this scene with the lovely Jessica Biel in her knickers.
