Full Frontal, a review by Rich

Full Frontal





Self indulgent boring film, thats 2 hours of my life I won't get back!
Tediously done in docu format, a confusing blend of uninteresting characters merge into nothingness, without context or apparent union, plotless and an insult to the viewers intelligence.
What were the likes of Keener, Underwood and Julia Roberts thinking putting their names against this crap? Did a director who handled films like Oceans 11, Traffic and Brokovich really mastermind this home movie?
If I videod my fingernails growing, it would be more interesting.

Plot:
If Kate and Max itch, the killers after them know where to scratch. If they order pizza, slip into a hotel or go online, high-tech surveillance equipment instantly pinpoints them. The killers are sure the two have met their match. It's match, all right: one to light a hell fire of retaliation.

Fair Game pairs Cindy Crawford as Miami attorney Kate McQuean and William Baldwin as homicide cop Max Kilpatrick, determined to protect Kate when she's targeted by an ex-KGB operative (Steven Berkoff) and his commandos. Producer Joel Silver and debuting director Andrew Sipes craft a blistering perpetual motion machine, frequently delivering more lam for your bam. Buckle up for thrill upon thrill.

Extras:
Scene Access
Closed Captioned


I watched this many moons ago and it still holds up as a decent action flick. It's your typical 'protect the beautiful witness at all costs' movie and while it presented nothing terribly original it is as good as most other similar movies.

As many directors have been want to do, they take non-actors at the height of their popularity and throw them in a movie. In this case it was Cindy Crawford. Who cares that she can't act... she's sexy with a capital S.  Soon as I pulled this movie out I immediately thought of that famous Pepsi commercial with her in it. As an added bonus, Salma Hayek and her ample bosom also make a brief but memorable appearance.

Certainly not an award winner by any stretch of the imagination but entertaining none the less.

The Adventures of Mini-Goddess, a review by Tom

Title: The Adventures of Mini-Goddess
Year: 1998
Rating: NR
Video: Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo , Japanese: Dolby Digital Stereo
Subtitles: English

Plot:
Super Small = Super Cute!

Whenever Keiichi leaves the house, Belldandy, Urd and Skuld shrink themselves to play with the other residents of the area - including their clueless rat sidekick, Gan. Whether it's a battle against Gan-zilla or adventures in kitchen appliance romances, the goddess adventures are dangerously funny!

Gan-chan: Although frequently the butt of the goddesses jokes and the victim of their mistakes, Gan the rat persists in his absolute devotion to Belldandy and never questions whether Urd and Skuld may be dangerous for his health


I have just watched all 48 7-minute episodes in two sittings with my brother. This is a great series which I can watch again and again. The producers of this show simply took our three beloved goddesses in their mini form, added a foil in form of the rat Gan-chan, and then had simply fun with them. Be it in a parody of Godzilla movies, or Die Hard or other crazy adventures.
Probably you will need to know these characters in their normal form (either through the OVA, TV series or manga) to get a lot of the jokes.
