 | | 1. Tunnel Rats | | | Starring: Brandon Fobbs Gariyaki Mutambirwa Director: Uwe Boll | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/30/2009 | User Rating: 4 |  | Tunnel Rats - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/30/2009 1:44 AM | |
Of all the directors seemingly capable of taking on the socially, politically, and personally complex war that is Vietnam, Uwe Boll would be low on the list (perhaps right behind Michael Bay and Shawn Levy). As the master of the disaster, a German filmmaker whose proclivity toward producing absolute garbage (House of the Dead, In the Name of the King, Postal) more than precedes him, one would imagine him tackling the subject as some manner of elaborate joke. Instead, his Tunnel Rats is actually quite effective. It may not have a lot to say about the military men who risked their lives clearing underground passageways booby trapped by the enemy, but when compared to the rest of his awful oeuvre, this is a very accomplished work. read the full review | |

 | | 6. Table For Three | | | Starring: Brandon Routh Jesse Bradford Director: Michael Samonek | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/23/2009 |  | Table for Three - DVD Review By: Jason McKiernan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
Table for Three is the kind of spastic romantic comedy that should be very annoying in its copycat storytelling and relentlessly high-pitched comedy. In fact, with a screenplay this predictable and characters this one-dimensional, it's a wonder the movie is able to bypass annoying altogether and render itself completely bland. The film is a tepid direct-to-DVD comedy with material lame enough to make a cinematic train wreck, and actors decent enough to cobble together at least a likable movie, but the most interesting thing about the film is that it's not interesting at all. Not a good movie, not a disaster, but merely a middle-of-the-road bore, a movie so lacking in uniqueness and originality that it almost merits no discussion. read the full review | |
