Weekend Movie Marathon: Unwatched DVDs

Weekend Movie Marathon

Unwatched DVDs

I have been getting so many movies lately... thanks to a handful of friends between here and the other site.... that I really feel the need of getting the number of unwatched down a little anyway. As it stands now I have 443 unwatched movie on DVD! Granted that some of these movies I have at least seen before... just not since getting the DVD. But the majority of them I never even seen before. So I will probably be concentrating more on the never seen before titles... though I may through in one or two I seen before... depending on my mood.

Below I am listing what is in my unwatched collection. If you want to make suggestions/requests feel free... I will try to get to them this weekend... though no promises. Also while I am listing them below for sake of completeness... please remember I still have to go two weeks without horror... so I can not watch any horror movies at this time.

How about Crash - after all it is a Sandra Bullock film!

A few to see with Brit: A Knight's Tale, National Treasure or The Rookie.

A History of Violence or American Gangster might help you through the last days of "no horror".

It looks like you have lots of new horror to look forward too this year. 

[addicted2dvd]

LOL... yeah a few new horror for this year. 

Surprised you didn't mention Million Dollar Baby... while I haven't decided yet... that may be the first one. It will at least get watched at some point this weekend if nothing bad happens that is.

[snowcat]

Im gonna second Crash! .... its one of my favourite films

[addicted2dvd]

After the second recommendation of Crash I watched the trailer for it in profiler... I must say... I hope the movie is better then the trailer.... as the trailer unfortunately did little to impress me. I will try to get to it at some point this weekend... but don't think it will be the first one I watch.

[Rogmeister]

I notice you have some of the same movies that I got via "The Kathy T Collection"...movies like Brokeback Mountain, 3000 Miles To Graceland and all of the Matrix movies.  I do hope to watch and review some of those movies eventually myself.  I think you should watch The Man Who Fell To Earth...especially since I never plan to watch that movie again    And maybe Bad Girls...I didn't notice if you had any other westerns there...

[addicted2dvd]

  Now why does that statement about The Man Who Fell To Earth worry me? 

Some of them I got from Kathy... but the Matrix movies came from another friend here at the forum. The same person that gave me all the Star Trek titles.

Title: Private Benjamin
Year: 1980
Director: Howard Zieff
Rating: R
Length: 110 Min.
Video: Pan & Scan 1.33:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: Mono, French: Dolby Digital: Mono
Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Stars:
Goldie Hawn
Eileen Brennan
Armand Assante
Robert Webber
Sam Wanamaker
Barbara Barrie

Plot:
PRIVATE BENJAMIN's immovable object is pampered Judy Benjamin, a wedding night widow. The irresistible force is a three-year, expense paid hitch in the U.S. Army. What's Judy doing in combat boots and fatigues? A recruiter seductively describes today's "new Army" and gullible Judy takes the bait.

Academy Award® winner† Goldie Hawn is a private first class in her Oscar®-nominated role of Judy, a fish-out-of-water coming of age via the rigors of basic training and a European assignment. Also top-notch are Robert Webber, Mary Kay Place, Albert Brooks and Eileen Brennan, also an Oscar® nominee and an Emmy winner for the TV series this movie inspired.


†1969: Best Supporting Actress for Cactus Flower.

My Thoughts:
I thought I would start this weekend with one I haven't seen since I was probably in my early teens. It is hard to believe this movie was made in 1980... this movie is 30yrs old!!! Now I am starting to feel old!

When I decided to pop this one in I was a little worried with how well it would hold up.And I guess rightfully so. While I still enjoyed this movie... as it was entertaining to say the least... I found I was remembering it to be funnier then it actually was. Sure there was a couple good laughs in there... but the majority of the movie was more amusing then anything else. I will have to see if I can find some more Goldie Hawn movies that were funnier. If that is possible... maybe I remember her... herself being funnier then she actually was. I found I liked the boot camp portion of the movie best... it seemed to go a bit downhill once she was out of boot camp.

It is also a shame this DVD is in Full Screen only. I did a quick search at amazon (mostly out of curiosity) and it seems there is no widescreen version available. The DVD could of used some more extras as well. While I can see myself watching this one again.... it is not one I could see watching often. I decided to rate this DVD at a 3 out of five... if it was widescreen and had some more extras it would have gotten to a 3.5.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

Title: Million Dollar Baby
Year: 2004
Director: Clint Eastwood
Rating: PG-13
Length: 132 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1
Subtitles: English, French, Spanish

Stars:
Clint Eastwood
Hilary Swank
Morgan Freeman
Jay Baruchel
Mike Colter
Lucia Rijker

Plot:
"I DON'T TRAIN GIRLS," trainer Frankie Dunn growls. But something's different about the spirited boxing hopeful who shows up daily at Dunn's gym. All she wants is a fighting chance.

Clint Eastwood plays Dunn and directs, produces and composes music for this acclaimed, multiaward-winning tale of heart, hope and family. Hilary Swank plays resilient Maggie, determined not to abandon her one dream. And Morgan Freeman is Scrap, gym caretaker and counterpoint to Dunn's crustiness. Grab your dreams and come out swinging. Million Dollar Baby is an absolute knockout.

My Thoughts:
I been wanting to see this movie since the first time I saw a trailer for it. Every since then I have heard nothing but good things about it. So going into this one I was hoping I wasn't letting all the hype around this one get to me. I have always liked both Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank. And then there is of course Morgan Freeman who I think is also an amazing actor. After watching it I found this movie really has it all. Great talent... a storyline that is both exciting and moving. I found this movie to be nothing short of amazing! If you haven't seen this movie I definitely recommend it wholeheartedly!

Now empowered with superhuman strength, Eddie sets out to thwart Snakehead's plan for world domination. Filmed on location in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Ireland. Jackie Chan has got the power – and kicks THE MEDALLION into high gear!

My Thoughts:
I have always enjoyed Jackie Chan... I like how he combines Martial Arts and comedy. This is one I never even heard of until a friend of mine offered to send me a copy. And this one has a touch of the supernatural which is something else I always liked. There is also the plus of Julian Sands in this one. I always liked him in the Warlock movies. I enjoyed this movie... but at the same time it isn't one of the best Jackie Chan movies out there. Just an entertaining... silly movie.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

[Najemikon]

Oh no. Oh, Pete... no. 

The Medallion is terrible. I mean, it's really, really bad. Try The Tuxedo instead, for recent American Jackie Chan material, if you must, but there is no beating his Hong Kong stuff. Get Police Story and Drunken Master, then burn The Medallion in a special ceremony. 

[addicted2dvd]

Never seen any of his Hong Kong stuff.

[Achim]

Never seen any of his Hong Kong stuff.

You should try. There is even some semi-American stuff, like Rumble in the Bronx (which should definitely be available with an English language track) which is better than this.

Problem is, Chan's movies are all about the stunts and fight scenes. So, more more he gets cut loose, the more exciting he can be. US insurances can't allow him to do all his crazy stuff, so it all looks often rather lame compared to the balls-out Hong Kong originals
