Tracy Morgan one of the comedy stars of 30 Rock hosts this funny spoof and although the DVD box claims it’s hot, I found it elementary. My reasons include that the show is brainless and feeds on the gullible. Oh! That’s intentional isn’t it? Shows like this will do anything for a laugh, but how many ways can you scare someone before it’s not funny anymore?
Among other things, Road Trip: Beer Pong hits the target market with a quirky and sexy little story much like Beerfest and American Pie did when they came out in movie theaters. A sequel of sorts to the original Road Trip,

the movie never made it to the big screen, but plays well on your television or computer.
The acting sucks, the direction did not help the weak plot and the movie drags to its hackneyed predictable ending. The only good thing about Adventureland comes with the cinematography that isn’t half bad.
Funny happens in I Love You, Man, an mature adult film that provides a lot of laughs. Now on DVD, the fun keeps going with some very good bonus features. The movie has a lot going for it including an unusual storyline filled with some great gags, pratfalls and scenes of total nonsense. If you like Paul Rudd and Jason Segel from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this is your kind of film.
Television series Dirty Sexy Money offers its second and final DVD season and it is still a seething and delicious series. The continuation of the scandalous storyline gets edgier with each episode. Excellent direction keeps the characters interesting, lively and memorable. If you are an adult that likes a lot of sexy drama, then peak in on the Darlings in Dirty Sexy Money.
I figured that when it hit DVD The Last House on the Left would lose some of its punch. I admit I am wrong as the film still exudes chilling suspense and horror even on the small screen. Producer Wes Craven shows his muscles as the master of shock even with a remake of one of his earlier hits. In my book, he’s still the master of terror cinema.
From the get go Fighting gets into the hard-hitting plot with some realistic bare-knuckle fistfights. I’m impressed with the movie even on DVD for the acting by Tatum, direction by Montiel and cinematography. If you like movies that have a simple storyline with swift action drama revolving around gut wrenching street fights, then this film should top your card.
Seven Pounds is a Sixth Sense type of mystery drama, telling all the plot will give too much away. I liked the film very much and if you are into movies that have a twist, then it’s a must see for you. Transition form the big screen to DVD did not change the suspense or the quality of the performances.
US Treasury Agent Ben Thomas (Smith) is on a personal mission that will affect the lives of seven strangers. The extraordinary journey is one of redemption, kindness and fate. During a short span of time Thomas will touch the hearts, minds and futures of his subjects, each not knowing why. When everything comes together, however, it’s up to the audience to decide if the end justifies the means.
