A History of Violence (New Line Platinum Series)
Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello
New Line Home Video, 2006
Home town hero
+ The past catches up with you
While somewhat predictable, it's a great movie. I loved it. It keeps you going. I'm glad I have this movie in my collection. My only complaint is the movie was not long enough. I think they should have given us a little more background on Tom,i.e., how he came to be in the

Straw Dogs - Criterion Collection
Sam Peckinpah, Alan Sharp
Criterion, 2003
Not an animal.
+ A Cave Man is a Brave Man!
+ a classic
Given the multiple reviews, I really only wish to comment on one aspect of the film, but one that is at it's heart. In the real world there really are people like the town bullies/thugs. Wherever found, their existence needs to be ended. In this film, after multiple points where this termination ...

Sweeney Todd [Theatrical Release]
Johnny Depp is Awesome!!!!!
+ My most favorite musical ever!
Sweeney Todd is an excellent movie! Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors and he didn't disappoint in this movie. He is so believably frightening as the demon barber. Tim Burton once again gave us a classic!!!!

Fight for Your Life
Robert Judd, Catherine Peppers
Blue Underground, 2004
He's A Racist And He Loves His Cream Soda
+ Intense and very gritty 70's exploitation film.
+ Excellent non-PC violence filled fest
Fight For Your Life a.k.a I Hate Your Guts(a much snappier title) is a trip. It's pure 70s exploitation in the vein of the David Hess classics like Wes Craven's Last House On The Left and Ruggero Deodato's House On The Edge Of The Park. But instead of teenage girls or snooty yuppies, we have a ...

Death Wish 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 Collection (5 Pack)
oh, please, not "full frame"
While certainly not great art, these films sure are great... something. The first one was horrifically brutal, but IMO thoughtful and artfully done and its message resonated with a huge swath of the American public - myself included. Of the sequels, I've always particularly enjoyed number 4, ...
