It's hard to remember the whooshing sighs of disappointment from his fans that greeted John Woo in 1996 when, after so many half-steps and mis-starts, he made his big Hollywood debut with the stolen-nuke thriller Broken Arrow. Having left the Hong Kong business on a high with 1992's psychotic near-parody Hard Boiled, Woo did a Jean-Claude Van Damme flick -- 1993's Hard Target, which was heavily botched by studio interference but still contained some brilliant work -- before deciding to go seriously Hollywood. For Broken Arrow, he toned down his trademark mix of ultra-violent flourishes and teary-eyed humanism to concentrate on doing a by-the-book mid-'90s action flick that was generic in the extreme but raked in the money. read the full review | |

 | | 12. Wild Hogs | | | Starring: John Travolta Martin Lawrence Director: Walter Becker | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/15/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Wild Hogs - DVD Review By: Daniel Solomon - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/11/2007 11:39 AM | | Even though it's not my place to tell people what they should and should not watch, I feel that I am within my rights to strongly urge that a film never be viewed by anyone. There are things in this world that must be considered absolutes, like "murder is wrong," and "don't eat poop." I can say definitively that Wild Hogs belongs in that category. It is not just a badly-written, badly-acted, badly-made comedy, it is bad. Bad like the Devil is bad. read the full review | |

 | | 20. Hairspray (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Nicole Blonsky John Travolta Director: Adam Shankman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Hairspray (2007) - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2009 5:42 PM | |
As Hairspray opens, director Adam Shankman's camera parts the clouds and peers down from the heavens on beautiful Baltimore. A star is born. Maryland's blue-collar port city deserves top billing in the Hairspray credits, for it is as much a central character to the story as John Travolta's portly and protective housewife or Michelle Pfeiffer's catty television producer. Immediately, the music kicks in. The day-to-day sounds of the bustling town melt with Marc Shaiman's infectious doo-wop score and the camera swoops toward the modest bedroom of typical teen Tracy Turnblad, who is played to perfection by newcomer Nikky Blonsky. Another star is born. read the full review | |

 | | 21. Hairspray (2-Disc Special Edition) | | | Starring: John Travolta Nicole Blonsky Director: Adam Shankman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/30/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Hairspray: 2-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/25/2007 10:58 PM | | The singing and dancing is the key, here. The songs, by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, are wonderful and capture the mood of the era, helped along mightily by Shankman's inventive choreography. Blonksy, Snow, Latifah, Marsden, Efron, and Kelley all turn in fantastic musical performances that slap a stupid grin on your face that simply won't go away. The show-stopping "Run and Tell That" featuring Kelley and the amazing 14-year old Taylor Parks as his sister, Inez, is eye-popping in it's energy. The movie does drag when it pushes the tolerance card in a very straightforward and uninteresting way, but then another song pops up and things get moving forward again. read the full review | |
