First Blood, a review by addicted2dvdTitle: First Blood: Ultimate Edition Year: 1982 Director: Ted Kotcheff Rating: R Length: 93 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, English: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: Stars: Sylvester Stallone Richard Crenna Brian Dennehy Bill McKinney Jack Starrett Michael Talbott Plot:Extras: Scene Access Audio Commentary Deleted Scenes DVD-ROM Content Closed Captioned Disc is encoded with Survival mode - six levels My Thoughts: This is a movie I have always enjoyed. One of my favorite Stallone movies. I really good story and lots of great action. I think Stallone did a fantastic job in the role. Especially in this film. The sequels... while I still enjoyed them quite a bit... really changed the character a bit. Made him almost cartoonish. But this is the original Rambo. The way he was meant to be. This disc has some nice extras... many of which I still need to go through. But I did check out the Alternate Ending. This is the first time I ever got to see it. While it would have been a good... powerful way to end it as well... I am glad they went with the ending we got. If for no other reason then for the continuation of the series. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From What Movies I Been Watching on September 3rd, 2010) The Pledge, a review by addicted2dvdTitle: The Pledge Year: 2001 Director: Sean Penn Rating: R Length: 124 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French Stars: Patricia Clarkson Beau Daniels Benicio Del Toro Dale Dickey Wendy Morrow Donaldson P. Adrien Dorval Plot:Extras: Scene Access Feature Trailers Production Notes Closed Captioned My Thoughts: When I stumbled onto this movie in my profiler... a movie I forgot I had... I checked the trailer and it looked good so decided to watch this one next. While it is a good enough movie... I don't feel it was that great. Being just over 2hrs the movie felt a little drawn out. And the ending just wasn't satisfying to me. The ending was a bit dark... and a bit strange... but it just didn't feel right for the story that was told. Jack Nicholson did a good job in the movie... as did most everyone else. But for me at least... the ending brought this movie down quite a bit. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: Unwatched DVDs on January 30th, 2011) Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom
Plot: Welcome to India: a diverse country of exotic cuisine, fascinating cultures, unique social customs...and the home of the Mid America Novelties call center. Unsuspecting management trainee Todd Dempsy is shocked when his job and department are relocated to the chaotic city of Mumbai. With no other career options, the Kansas native makes the jump himself and discovers that his most important work might just be teaching his eclectic group of Indian customer service reps what being American is all about. Developed by writer Robert Borden (The Drew Carey Show) and director Ken Kwapis (The Office), it's 22 episodes of fun and hilarity where laughter is never lost in translation. Outsourced 1.01 Pilot Writer: George Wing (Writer), John Jeffcoat (Writer), George Wing (Original Material By), John Jeffcoat (Original Material By) Director: Ken Kwapis Cast: Ben Rappaport (Todd Dempsy), Anisha Nagarajan (Madhuri), Diedrich Bader (Charlie Davies), Parvesh Cheena (Gupta), Pippa Black (Tonya), Rebecca Hazlewood (Asha), Rizwan Manji (Rajiv), Sacha Dhawan (Manmeet), Matt Walsh (Jerry Stern), Shawn Parikh ("A" Team Indian), Sid Veda (CS Worker #8), Guru Singh (Ajeet), Steve Seagren (American Caller (voice)), Nicholas Logan (Madhuri's Caller (voice)), Peggy Etra (Southern Caller (voice)), K.T. Thangavelu (Ruchi), Pooja Batra (CS Worker #9), Mueen Jahan (Lunch Man) I bought this series after watching and enjoying the movie on which this series is based on. The first episode is very promising. I enjoyed it much more than Mumbai Calling, a British series with the same premise. I am even considering to put this marathon on hold and continue watching this series now. Rating: (From Tom's TV Pilots marathon on June 22nd, 2012) |
