Fox  //  Buy from Amazon.com Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is no ordinary father, so when he learns his ex-wife (Sally Field) needs a housekeeper, he applies for the job. With the perfect wig, a little makeup and a dress for all occasions, he becomes Mrs. Doubtfire, a devoted British nanny who is hired on the spot. Free to be the "woman" he never knew he could be, the disguised Daniel creates a whole new life with his entire family. Saying that I like "Mrs. Doubtfire" is probably not a smart way to endear myself to fans of b- and z-movies, but the fact remains that this is one of those films that I never tire of, will watch whenever I happen across it on TV, and always find myself chuckling and enjoying the sappy sweet story. It's funny, damnit, and regardless of how cheesy, bland, easily-digestible or vanilla it may be, it's entertaining, and that's not something I say or take lightly. This film is up there with the likes of "Home Alone" and other family-friendly fare that never get old, never get boring, and always deliver entertainment. Go enjoy, this is a fun one. Video Presented in a high def 2.35:1 widescreen transfer, this film looks better than I've ever seen it looking before. Granted, I usually watch it on TV re-runs, so to see the marked improvement offered by Blu-ray is startling, to say the least. Very nice job. Audio A lossless DTS HD 5.1 audio mix is very strong, but since this is a front-heavy comedy mix, the surrounds rarely get a chance to strut their stuff.

Fox  //  Buy from Amazon.com Paul Newman and Robert Redford set the standard for the "buddy film" with this box office smash set in the Old West. The Sundance Kid (Redford) is the frontier's fastest gun. His sidekick, Butch Cassidy (Newman), is always dreaming up new ways to get rich fast. If only they could blow open a baggage car without also blowing up the money-filled safe inside... Or remember that Sundance can't swim before they escape a posse by leaping off a cliff into rushing rapids... Times are changing in the west and life is getting tougher. So Butch and Sundance pack their guns, don new duds, and, with Sundance's girlfriend (Katharine Ross), head down to Bolivia. Never mind that they don't speak Spanish - they'll manage somehow. A winner of four Academy Awards (including best screenplay and best song), here is a thoroughly enjoyable blend of fact and fancy done with true affection for a bygone era and featuring the two flashiest, friendliest funniest outlaws who ever called out "hands up!" I hadn't seen this film before - no surprise, given my lack of enthusiasm for any film made before about 1981. I've never been big on either Redford or Newman, but I can definitely appreciate the fact that they're regarded as true masters of the craft... and that this film, along with "The Sting," is considered their best film(s). Well, despite the age, the fact that it's a western, and the sugary-sweet dialogue and character development in this film, I surprisingly enjoyed myself. Aged, cliched, saccarine and watered down? Yep. Delightfully entertaining? Yessir. It's a well-shot movie, and there's no denying the talent or charisma of the two lead actors. I may not rush to watch this one again anytime soon, but I'm glad for having sat through it this one time, and would definitely give it a nod of approval. Video Well, it's a 1080p/MPEG-2 high def transfer, which is good, but whether due to the age of the material (nearly 40 years) or the lack of any perceived clean up, this is not a great looking Blu-ray disc, unfortunately, Not bad, and likely the best this film as looked in any format for home viewing, but it's just not as slick as I would've hoped. Audio You can't fault Fox for trying, as they deliver a DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 surround mix, but given the age of the film, it sounds like (and, truly, is) a mono movie through and through.

Weinstein Company  //  Buy from Amazon.com High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad boy stepbrother Brad's increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth. Reason #57 why I love running the mighty DVDschlock.com: a little over 1 year ago, we posted a news item about a crazy indie flick we'd read about online called "Teeth" in which I expressed my intrigue and desire to check it out for review on the site... Fast forward 14 months later, and what have I received, watched and am now reviewing for the site? Why, "Teeth" on DVD, of course! What an unbelievable film. How the hell this ever got made I have no idea, but I'm sure glad it did, for it's a fun ride that had me entertained, squirming, groaning & giggling with delight from start to finish. With a plotline that I'd never have the balls to pitch, let alone shoot, this is one damn original film, and I'm damn glad it was made. Folks, let's be honest: there's not a lot of truly original filmmaking going on today. That's not to say that there aren't entertaining films out there, as there are plenty, but how many films have you seen in the last year that are truly UNlike any other film you've ever seen? Well, chalk "Teeth" up there as one of the most original - this sucker's got teeth and a helluva bite (ba-dum-dum) and is HIGHLY recommended! Video Presented in an anamorphic 1.85:1 widescreen transfer, the film looks solid throughout. While definitely a low(er)-budget indie flick, the production quality was clearly quite high, and it shows. Audio A Dolby 5.1 surround mix delivers the aural goods, but it's mostly a talkie flick, so the surrounds will hardly even get tickled in this one.

Paramount  //  Buy from Amazon.com The Raiders Of The Lost Ark: Archeologist and university professor Indiana Jones must retrieve the mythic Lost Ark of the Covenant before the it gets into the hands of Adolf Hitler who plans on using its power to guarantee his global conquest. The Temple Of Doom: Indiana Jones finds himself on a new adventure trekking across Asia with a gold-digging woman and a young child to rescue a village's missing children and find a magic stone. But along the way he must contend with an evil cult. The Last Crusade: Renowned archeologist and expert in the occult Dr. Indiana Jones returns for the 3rd and final Indy film. Teaming up with his father Indiana sets out to try and find the Holy Grail. Once again the Nazis are after the same prize and try to foil Indiana's plans. What's not to love about the Indiana Jones movies? Truly, they're in the upper echelon of famous movie series or trilogies - perhaps only "Star Wars" and maybe the "Toxic Avenger" films rate as popular or as highly rewatchable as the famous adventures of one Mr. Indiana Jones. While the series was previously released onto DVD back in 2003, we get a new (and more affordable) trilogy collector's set here, with what appears to be the same (excellent) transfers, and a whole whack o' new features and featurettes to enjoy... (really, to whet your appetites for "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" opening in just a few days - Indiana Jones IV - whoda thunk it?!) I won't go through and rehash all 3 films, as if you haven't already seen them, then not only are you a sad, sad spectacle of a human being, but you are cordially uninvited to spend time on the mighty DVDschlock.com (scram, get outta here, ya bother me, ya bother me.) What I will tell you is just how much I love the films - while "Last Crusade" was my favorite for the longest time, with a few years on my belt and a few grey hairs in my whiskers, I have gained a far greater appreciation for the first film and now count that one as my favorite. Indy vs. the Nazis, with the Ark of the Covenant at stake... and a dude's face melting... tell me that's not the epitome of bad-ass. Admittedly, I wasn't thinking I was going to venture into the theaters to see Part IV, but after sitting through the trilogy again over a marathon weekend session, my Indiana Jones appetite is yet satiated, so I'll battle the fanboys this weekend to go enjoy the new entry in the series. Score one for Paramount. Video Each film is presented in a gorgeous 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, and each is THX certified (no surprise given George Lucas owns THX.) They all look great, with superb picture quality and rich coloring... the best we're going to get until the Blu-ray versions are released (possibly when Part IV hits home video?) Audio Each film gets a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix that is excellent from start to finish. Not only do each look great, but they sound damn good as well.

Walt Disney  //  Buy from Amazon.com Prepare to enter another world when Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media invite you to experience C.S. Lewis' timeless and beloved adventure as never before on Blu-ray Disc(tm). Join Lucy Edmund Susan and Peter four siblings who step through a magical wardrobe and find the land of Narnia. There they discover a charming once-peaceful kingdom that has been plunged into eternal winter by the evil White Witch Jadis. Aided by the magnificent lion Aslan the children lead Narnia into a tremendous climactic battle to be free of the Witch's glacial powers forever! And now the stunningly realistic special effects are even more breathtaking in the astounding clarity of high definition. Meet talking beasts dwarfs fauns centaurs giants and more! Meanwhile every sound -- from the roar of Aslan to the echo of battle trumpets and the gentle rustling of leaves -- comes alive with spectacularly enhanced audio quality. Live the adventure of a lifetime as if for the very first time with Disney Blu-ray -- Magic in High Definition. Admittedly, I was not a fan of the "Narnia" books growing up. I had friends who were as passionate about them as I was about comic books and, later, the "Xanth" series of books... but despite several attempts, I just never got into C.S. Lewsis' fantasty world. As such, no surprise that I skipped this film in theaters and even on its initial DVD release. However, the mighty Walt Disney Company saw fit to send a Blu-ray 2-disc screener to DVDschlock.com for review, so I figured the least I could do would be to dim the lights, pop some corn, and sit back to travel on a fantastic journey... ... and much to my surprise, I enjoyed myself. Was I completely enthralled & enraptured watching this one? Not at all - it's definitely a light, breezy affair aimed primarily at the young'uns. However, the visual effects were unbelievable - while I didn't care as much about the story, the seamless blending of make-up & CG effects, plus the hyper-stylized cinemtography had my jaw hitting the floor several times. This is absolutely a film made for the Blu-ray format, as it lept off my screen and burnt itself into my eyeballs! I was mesmerized, and enjoyed the ride. Definitely check it out: fun for the kids, visual eye candy for the grown-ups. Video As per every Blu-ray release by the Big Mouse thus far, this one is unbelievable - definitely reference quality. With nary a single flaw or blemish to be found, this is a truly stunning film to behold and a perfect example of how mesmerizingly beautiful Blu-ray can be. Audio On par with the visuals, the 5.1 PCM audio surround mix is jaw-droppingly fantastic. From the soft to the bombastic, every note will ticle your eardrums and help transport you to the land of Narnia.

Sony  //  Buy from Amazon.com Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan are two thieves who haven't got a prayer in First Sunday, a sinfully funny comedy co-starring Katt Williams and Chi McBride. Sentenced to 5,000 hours of community service, Durell Jefferson's (Cube) life quickly goes from bad to worse. Realizing that the Lord helps those who help themselves, he eventually decides to help himself to the neighborhood church's building fund. Accompanied by his dimwitted partner-in-crime LeeJohn (Morgan), the two down-on-their luck men are dismayed to discover the cash has already been stolen, so they hold the congregation hostage in a Hail Mary attempt to learn who amongst the righteous has already run away with their loot! I have to admit that I was expecting some type of weak rehashing of Ice Cube's "Friday" films when I saw the trailers for this film. It had a good cast (tough to go wrong with Ice Cube, Tracy Morgan & Katt Williams) but I just got the sense of "been there, seen that." Thankfully, you can't judge a book by its cover, as I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that not only is this film genuinely funny (with next to nothing in common with the "Friday" films other than Ice Cube and Katt Williams being on both), but it also has a heart at the center of it. The film isn't just a yuk-yuk fest (although the funny scenes are damn funny), but it's also a heartfelt & heartwarming look at a father just trying to do right by his family. Of course, this clearly is not a sappy drama in any way, shape or form - and again, it is damn funny - but I'm making sure to point out the touching aspects of the film, as I was completely surprised, and very much drawn in, by them. All in all, this is a really well done film that is sure to entertain regardless of your mood or inclination. Check it out. Video The 1.85:1 widescreen 1080p high-def transfer is fantastic, with crystal-clear picture quality and detail throughout. Audio The included Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround mix was also very good, although since this is a comedy, it's a pretty front-heavy mix that'll do little to work out your surrounds.

First Look Studios  //  Buy from Amazon.com The plan for these high school seniors with a major case of senioritis: break into Principal Dickwalder's (Miller) house and throw the party of the year. But Principal Dickwalder overhears Adam (Gary Lundy, Donnie Darko) explaining the plan; ruining the celebration....or does it? Adam's only chance at redemption is to host the party himself. Gorgeous models, stripteases, a gigantic gravity bong, a funeral and some crêpes are the key elements to the best skip day party ever. Their only problem? Dickwalder is on a mission to stop the festivities. This hilarious fun-filled adventure will make you want to plan a skip day of your own. While I initially thought "Senior Skip Day" was but another attempted retread of "American Pie" released straight to DVD, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's actually an independent film, released on the festival circuit that was then picked up for DVD distribution. It's apparent to the viewer within the first 2 minutes of the movie that this isn't going to be some watered down PG affair, as the main character says (to the camera, "Ferris Bueller"-style) at minute 3:30, "This is my high school. This fucking place is filled with your standard group of stock characters out of every high school in America." I loved that line, and the hilarious-yet-serious conviction with which he utters it. As genuinely funny as the film is, there's no doubt that it's the cameos that really make it worth checking out. Lea Thompson is possibly the hottest mom on the entire planet. Larry Miller is hilarious in his dead-pan delivery of the school Principal. Norm McDonald will amuse and befuddle you as a strange, strange teacher. And finally, best for last: Clint Howard as the sociopathic, crazy-ass nutbag who tags along for the Senior Skip Day. DVDschlock.com was actually able to speak to Clint Howard in promotion for this movie, and you can read the interview by clicking here. All in all, a funny little movie, and far funnier than you might expect from a straight-to-DVD release. Video The 16x9 anamorphic widescreen transfer is solid throughout, with good detail and coloring in every scene. Audio Dolby 5.1 surround sound to tickle your earlobes. Extras trailers Closing Thoughts Funny, entertaining comedy + hilarious appearances by Clint Howard, Norm McDonald & Larry Miller = well worth checking out for an evening of chuckles Trailer

Clint Howard is one of my all-time favorite actors. Ever since I first saw him in "Rock 'n Roll High School" back on beta in the early 80s, I've been mesmerized by his uber-ClintHowardness - truly, there is no one out there like Clint other than Clint, as he's a force unto himself. As I developed a fondness for all things b-movie-related and schlocky, I came to know & love such immortal classics as "Evilspeak" and "Ice Cream Man" and his brief but utterly hilarious cameos in Adam Sandler's "The Waterboy" and "Little Nickey." Heck, I even enjoyed Clint's straight-man turns in his brother Ron's films, including "Apollo 13" and "EdTV." When DVDschlock.com was offered the chance to interview Clint as part of the publicity for the recently-released "Senior Skip Day" (click here for our review), I jumped at the opportunity - how often does one get to talk to a true screen icon? I was so excited... and was blown away by how friendly, funny and genuinely sincere Clint was - it was a fantastic conversation, and my best attempt at a transcription is below... I just want to start off by saying how much I appreciate you making the time to talk to a lil' web site like DVDschlock.com - let me say that I'm a true fan, and that's not just blowing smoke, as I count some of your films as my all-time favorites. Well thank you very much. I'm very grateful for people who appreciate my work, as the relationship between the audience and the performer is important, and I dig it. I get a kick out of the work I do and the fact that others as well is cool. Lionel Huffer (Clint's character in "Senior Skip Day") was a great character - the film is quite funny, but for me, his role was the highlight. Thanks very much - y'know, it's a little indie "Ferris Bueller's" on steroids. There's a lot to like about the movie and I had a blast working on it. It's one of those projectst that I'm really glad I said "yes" to, and I knew I was going to say yes once I heard who was involved. Getting to work with Larry Miller was fun - he's great character actor, and the filmmakers respected us enough to give us some latitude and let us do our own thing. We improvised quite a bit, especially our final scene together - that was completely us working through the possibilities, sun going down, clock is ticking, and we just had fun with it. FYI - Clint has probably the best line in the movie here: "I had a dream - I wanted to be an air conditioner repair man. And you FUCKED that up, so know I'm going to cut your head off." I also appreciated the set up of the movie - it was a young, energetic film crew and a young, relatively inexperienced director and writer. They were sort of mentored by George Gallow, who wrote "Midnight Run" and when I saw they had a mentor as one of the producers, I thought that was really cool. George helped behind the scenes and was there for the crew and the actors as a veteran - it was fun having him around. I had fun with the character - I told the director I wanted to shave my head, think outside the box, have a jailhouse tattoo and just be weird. There's give & take when you make small movies, and it was fun to really get into the character.  What do you enjoy more - playing the oddball or the straight-laced guy?   As an actor, I try to make things honest, as I need to believe it too. I've been able to do a lot of different things in my career, honestly, because I hardly ever say no, so I get to do a wide range of characters. But I do wish I could do more straight actors, non-psychotic. I know the movie business likes to hire "safe" and cast "safe" and cast good looking, but in real life, there's a lot of quirky birds in a lot of interesting positions. I've met a lot of really interesting doctors and attorneys, but in the world of casting they always hire the same type to be a doctor. But hey, I'm an actor - I can play an attorney, I'm a smart guy, I could've been a doctor... but that being said, I would love the opportunity to play those roles, and with the right Armani suit I could be an attorney and with the right get up I could be a doctor... Yet I understand, and I'm not bitter - if they want to hire mre to play freaks, I'll play freaks.   That's one thing about Rob Zombie - we're good friends, and he's a great guy - and he called me up when he was casting for "Halloween" and said he wanted me to play straight character. Rob's got the balls to cast against type - he wanted to see me play straight. Y'know, I've worked with Hank Arthur, Red Skeleton and now I've worked with Rob Zombie - that's a helluva eclectic mix.   Well, it's a credit to you that you've played so many roles in over 180 productions now, and that's why you won the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award...   Y'know, I knew ahead of time that I was going to be presented with that, so I had time to prepare my words in advance. My Dad said to me, "Listen, take it seriously - that's the way this skit/segment is going to work." I talked with Ron and Dad, and there were jokes that could've been said... and those jokes could've gotten laughs... but those laughs wouldn't have been memorable. "If you take it seriously, then it can be memorable..." I remember doing that and lots of people have fond memories of that particular moment in TV movie awards - and it was real. I truly feel honored to be in the positon I'm in - I'm grateful, that's no bullshit. Would I like to be a $25,000,000 movie star? Of course. But the fact is, if this is what it is: me being a character actor, creating a body of work that allows people to watch movies & TV and embrace me as their sort of personal favorite, that's great - I think it's wonderful. It just proves that you don't have the be the best, fastest, best looking guy to end up leaving a mark.   But the same could said for Charlie Manson, so....   With your indulgence I'd love to ask you about a couple of my personal favorite Clint Howard films and hear whatever recollections you'd like to share... Sure, go for it. Rock 'n Roll High School Great experience - shot in 1979 and I was full-fledged into rock & roll at the time. Getting to be in that movie was really fun and, being a Roger Corman movie and having worked in a couple Corman films prior to that, there were lots of the same guys involved, so it felt like family. Playing around with the Ramones and hanging out with Vince Van Patten - great memories. It was one of first movies where I was out on my own - doing dialogue on my own, driving to set by myself, left to my own devices.   Evilspeak Made right after "Rock 'n Roll High School" - my "coming of age" as an actor and an adult. My first lead in a movie, there were a trio of creative people who made that movie: the director, the cinematographer and myself. I felt really good that I was being included on an adult level - I was the lead and the director trusted and respected my judgement and effort. The three of us really worked hard on that movie and it was another one of first movies that I worked on on my own. I was no longer a child actor, but was now an adult actor, with another set of rules. I got laid for first time during filming of "Evilspeak."   Y'know, it's really an underrated movie - people online take shots at it, but I'm proud of it. It was a really low-budget lil' indie movie, but when it came out, it was #1 or #2 in the markets that it opened in. Now, there were some fundamental mistakes made in the release of movie, so it didn't get a full studio release... but then video and dvd releases came out, plus its claim to fame was that Britain deemed it a "video nasty" (banned movie). I guess they didn't like pigs eating a naked woman in a bathtub... Fun movie to work on.   Last question: as an indie filmmaker myself, how would I go about getting him involved in one of my no-budget movies? Well, I'm a SAAG member, so it would need to be a union movie. I'm certainly more than willing to read material and talk to creative people. I like to stay busy, I like to work, so send something to my agent and I'll be happy to take a look! Thanks so much to Clint Howard for being such a fantastic interview!

Fox  //  Buy from Amazon.com Colonel Matrix (Schwarzenegger) is retired and living peaceably with his 10-year-old daughter when she is kidnapped by the henchmen of an exiled Latin American dictator. The dictator's plan is to reinstate himself in power by eliminating the president of his country, using Matrix to kill him (or he will kill the kidnapped daughter). Matrix escapes from the plane that is supposed to be carrying him to his mission and then proceeds to go from one violent confrontation to the next as he hunts down the dictator and moves to rescue his daughter. Helping him is Cindy (Chong), who has her own reasons for wanting the dictator dead. Note that DVDschlock.com recently reviewed the special edition DVD release of "Commando" and you can read this review by clicking here. Rather than focusing on the film again, we're going to focus on the new/different aspects of this film's Blu-ray release.. I will say, however, that I still enjoy this film - even though I reviewed it just a few months ago, watching it again on Blu-ray was just as entertaining as I would've hoped. You really can't get sick of 80s action flicks, especially those staring Mr. "I'll Be Back" himself, and this one's one of his better ones. Video The 1.85:1 high def transfer of this film looks very good - of course, it's never going to look like THX made love to it, but for what it is (a 25 year old action flick), this transfer looks pretty darned good. Audio Given a DTS HD Master Audio mix, undoubtedly "Commando" has never sounded better, and my surrounds (esp. the sub) got a solid workout with this one. Extras trailer Closing Thoughts Classic 80s action flick + zero extras = fun film, weak release (despite the high def transfer)

Fox  //  Buy from Amazon.com Katherine Heigl lights up the screen in this charming romantic comedy from the screenwriter of The Devil Wears Prada. Heigl stars as Jane, a romantic, completely selfless woman who's been a happy, helpful bridesmaid no less than 27 times. But her own fairytale wedding seems to be nowhere in sight. Until younger sister Tess captures the heart of Jane's boss - with whom she's secretly in love - inspiring Jane to change her "always a bridesmaid" destiny. Oh my god this movie was boring. Now, despite my fondness for b-movies, I'm not opposed to enjoying the odd romance, and in fact count a few films in that genre as some of my favorites ("The Notebook" for example)... and even the romantic comedy genre has spat out a few gems over the years ("Notting Hill" is a personal fave.) However, "27 Dresses" is a snoozefest that was painful to watch. Trite story, who-cares characters, call-it-in performances... who cares?! I'm sure it did well at the box office (ooh, Katherine Heigl - she's in "Grey's Anatomy!") but this one will never again grace my tv screen. Good riddance. Video Fox delivers this one in a 2.35:1 1080p high def transfer. Of course, it's Blu-ray, so you know the film is going to look spectacular, but I was surprised at how "flat" the coloring was in this film... but then again, it was only because the film bored me so much that I was even paying attention to the color palette in the first place. Audio DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 surround mix is perfectly functional - it's a romantic comedy, so needless to say your surrounds won't get much of a workout with this one.
