 | | 8. Bank Job (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Jason Statham Director: Roger Donaldson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/15/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 6 |  | The Bank Job - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/4/2008 7:34 PM | |
Based on some unspeakable, super classified bank robbery that took place in 1971 London, the investigation of which yielded no recovered money nor any arrests, Roger Donaldson's The Bank Job throttles its engines and tosses in just enough criminal bottom-dwellers to keep the viewers' minds away from the fact that it's still just another heist flick with a cockney accent and a taste for pints.
Names changed (get this) to protect the guilty, the whole mess breaks out when political revolutionary Michael X (Peter De Jersey) snaps some shots of Princess Margaret getting double teamed by two young men on a secluded island. read the full review | |

When you hear that a film has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years (since 2006, apparently), certain reactionary red flags go off in your head. Of course, the makers of the new political thriller, Vantage Point, could argue that it was the subject matter, not sloppy filmmaking or underdeveloped characters, that required some temporal displacement. After all, the narrative revolves around the attempted assassination of the U.S. President at an anti-terrorism summit in Spain. The argued novelty of writer Barry Levy's script and director Pete Travis' approach is the Rashomon-styled multiple perspective of the participants. We view this event from every possible point of view except a logical -- or entertaining -- one. read the full review | |

 | | 12. Wargames 2-Dead Code new! | | | Starring: Matt Lanter Amanda Walsh Director: Stuart Gillard | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/29/2008 | | WarGames: The Dead Code - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/27/2008 2:56 AM | |
Even I have trouble believing that the proto-cyberpunk classic WarGames is a whopping 25 years old. What kid didn't want an IMSAI 8080 back in the day so he could change his grades... and get a girlfriend like mega-hottie Ally Sheedy? Oh, and save the world while he's at it.Director Stuart Gillard dutifully follows up the still-precient original with another installment of WarGames. It's not quite a sequel, not quite a remake... though it ostensibly continues the story not of David Lightman (Matthew Broderick in the original), but rather of whatever happened to the W.O.P.R. (aka Joshua) and its creator, Stephen Falken.The action this time out takes place in the present, and we learn early on that a computer named R.I.P.L.E.Y. read the full review | |
