DVD Review!

Every Tuesday at 6:40 am with BOBs Breakfast we will be reviewing the Newly Released DVDs. If you miss any of them OR we didnt review one, this is the place to check out the full reviews...

I will Apologize again for missing a couple weeks, with the summer season upon us I will be off on holidays but will do the best to keep you updated on the new DVDs.

It was an interesting week this week with 3 out of the four releases containing "kill" in the title... YIKES!! but I think that is just what they should have done to the scripts for these movies... Oh Burn!!!!

My 'LOCK' of the week (i know thats pretty lame) is 'What Doesn't Kill You' Starring Ethan Hawke, Mark Ruffalo and Amanda Peet.

Its the story of 2 Childhood friends growing up on the mean streets of South Boston. From a young age they become involved in organized crime but after a while they get fed up by how little money they are making and decide to take matters into their own hands.

The cool thing about this flick... Its based on a true story but even better than that the guy who its about (Mark Ruffalos Character) Wrote and Directed the movie adding even more authenticity to the story.

Locks Rating on a sclae of Good, Bad OR Whatever: Good!

The Big one most people are talking about will probably be 'Killshot' Starring Mickey Rourke and Diane Lane.

Mickey Rourke is a hitman for the Toronto Mafia. I should actually change that to RUTHLESS hitman for the Toronto Mafia. This movie has alot of dying in it and is your typical run of the mill action/hitman movie. It also stars Tommy from 'Third Rock From the Sun' AND for some local content Kingston is mentioned four times!!

Locks Rating on a Scale of Good, Bad OR Whatever: Whatever

With it being a Medieval themed week on Bobs Breakfast this movie was appropriate and surprisingly not bad. I say surprisingly because I am not a sci fi guy but I definately enjoyed this one...

...about a guy who comes to earth back in 700 AD (During the days of the Viking) with a crazy alien monster on his ship that ends up terrorizing the villages and killing like hundreds of people. Now if you can, in your head, picture the alien monster as an evil Dragon and this becomes a movie about Vikings fighting a Dragon which makes it AWESOME!!!

Locks Rating on a Scale of Good, Bad OR Whatever: Good

And Finally, Last and Definately least (because I only lasted 25 mins before turning it off) 'Kill Buljo' A Kill Bill Spoof.

At first I was kinda excited to see a brainless comedy spoof of Kill Bill but was I ever wrong as the movie is entirely in Norwegian!! I dont mind subtitles but it definately took away from any attemted humour. Just thinking about this movie I'm like "WOW that movie really really SUCKED!!!"

But feel free to make that decision yourself.

Locks Rating on a scale of Good, Bad OR Whatever: BAD!!!!

Next week you can check out 'He's Just Not That Into You' (Drew Barrymore, Justin Long) and Defiance (Daniel Craig).

Comic Book...

A couple weeks ago we got into the discussion of what’s happening with Batman…apparently he’s dead and someone (an old Robin) will possibly be replacing him? We had to contact our Comic Book - we’ll call him an expert - to get the details ironed out and well, it turned into a bit of a problem. We can no longer call him the Comic Book Guy (Note to Simpsons lawyers: that’s the last time we will do that), so we are looking for any suggestions on what to call him.

Here are a few that we came up with, please send us any that you may have!!
Comic Book Dude
Comic Book Geek
Super Hero Cool Guy (as suggested by the guy)
Graphic Novel Dude
Lonely Man

Any other suggestions? Email them to us: bobsbreakfast@bob.fm

DVD Review!

Every Tuesday at 6:40 am with BOBs Breakfast we will be reviewing the Newly Released DVDs. If you miss any of them OR we didnt review one, this is the place to check out the full reviews...

Well i would love to say I have a pick of the week this week... but I dont have one!! There was only one movie that I actually sat down and watched the entire thing start to finish and that was 'Smother' Starring Liv tyler and Diane Keaton. A comedy just in time for Mothers Day as Diane Keaton plays the role of an insane Mother that is slowly destroying her sons life when she not only becomes his roomate but his CO WORKER!!! Imagine that!!! I love my Mum but I do have to draw the line somewhere! hahahahahahah

Locks Rating on a scale of Good, Bad OR Whatever: Whatever

Now the one EVERYONE will be talking about from this week is 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' and I'm sure i'm not alone when I say this is a three hour movie that felt like four. The concept was cool and Brad Pitt did a great job but after the first hour I started to get bored and got up off the couch and started doing stuff around the apartment.

Locks Rating on a Scale of Good, Bad OR Whatever: Whatever.

The other movies out today: Last Chance Harvey (Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson) and Wendy and Lucy (Michelle Williams)

Next week you can check out Taken (Liam Neeson) and Underworld Rise of the Lycans.

DVD Review!

Apologies First of All for the Missing DVD review from Last week but I am back in full swing this week!!!

Every Tuesday at 6:40 am with BOBs Breakfast we will be reviewing the Newly Released DVDs. If you miss any of them OR we didnt review one, this is the place to check out the full reviews...

My pick this week is 'Battle in Seattle' the movie is based on the true story of the 1999 WTO Riots in Seattle. The riots that were heard and mimicked around the world.

1999 was the first year the WTO held their Summit on American soil and I am really surprised it wasnt the last. What began as a peceful protest turned really really nasty when the police clashed with protesters leaving Seattle looking like it was in the middle of a civil war .

This is one of the most moving... movies I have ever seen. It really opened my eyes to what really went on with these riots. Watching it on the news you only get one side of the story in this film you get to see it from a few different points of view.

The outstanding editing of Real News footage and Film footage makes the impact of this movie immense! Follow that with an all star cast that includes Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron, Ray Liotta and Joshua Jackson this movie is a sneak up on ya hit.

Locks Rating on a scale of Good, Bad or Whatever: GOOD! (Only because there isn't a rating higher)

I also watched...

'Bride Wars' starring Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway

The Story of two Childhood best friends that have a dream of having a June wedding at the Plaza but a mistake with the booking has their weddings on the same day which creates an intense war between the two brides. If you have ever watched the show 'Bridezillas' you have almost already seen this movie.

Locks Rating on a scale of Good, Bad Or Whatever: Whatever

And Finally...

'The Uninvited' Starring Elizabeth Banks (Role Models, Zack and Miri Make a Porno)

This a Horror movie that has been adapted from a Korean Horror film 'The Two Sisters'

The tale of a Nurse (Elizabeth Banks) that moves into a wealthy home to take care of the sick Mum/Wife until an unforseen accident kills the Mum/Wife!

But the two daughters are not convinced it was just an accident and they believe the nurse who is now dating the father is behind it all.

Typical horror flick with a VERY surprise ending... Think Sixth Sense

Locks Rating on a scale of Good, Bad Or Whatever: Whatever

Also available for rent this week: Hotel for Dogs and JCVD

Thank You so much to Jumbo Video at the Brockville Shopping centre for supplying us with the DVDs

Out next week on DVD: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button... Cant Wait!!!

DVD Review!

Every Tuesday at 6:40 am with BOBs Breakfast we will be reviewing the Newly Released DVDs. If you miss any of them OR we didnt review one, this is the place to check out the full reviews...


From this week my favorite pick is 'The Reader' starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes. The movie is set in post Nazi Germany where Kate Winslet, whose carachter is almost pushing 40, becomes caught up in an affair with a teenage boy.

Just a heads up that for about the first 45 mins to an hour Kate Winslet is pretty much naked all the time. She is either taking her clothes off or putting them back on! (Not for the kids)

After that is outta the way the story takes a sharp turn and becomes even more intriguing... unfortunately I cannot tell you why, so as not to ruin the movie for you, but it will both shock and keep you wanting to know more.

With this movie my first thought was "...this is going to drag on..." but there aren't the looooong drawn out dialogue scenes that can really kill a movie like this. The scenes are usually very short and always changing. Just another way they keep you wanting to watch what happens next!


Locks Rating on a scale of Good, Bad or Whatever: GOOD!


Two other movies out on DVD today...


'The Spirit'
Starring: Samuel L Jackson, Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johanssen

Based on the comic book character and brought to you by the creators of 'Sin City' and '300'

Definately not anywhere near as gory as those two movies and I am pretty sure there is no swearing in this one

Lock's Rating on a scale of Good, Bad Or Whatever: Whatever






And Finally 'The Deal'
Starring: Meg Ryan, William H Macy, LL Cool J and Jason Ritter

The story of a hollywood movie deal going awry when the main actor is kidnapped!

The back of the DVD said it was going to be "Side-splittingly Funny" and it wasnt.

Locks Rating on a scale of Good, Bad Or Whatever: Whatever




Next week available for Rent: The Wrestler (Drama) Frost/Nixon (Drama) and Notorious (Bio Pic)

DVD Review!

Every Tuesday at 6:40 am with BOBs Breakfast we will be reviewing the Newly Released DVDs. If you miss any of them OR we didnt review one, this is the place to check out the full reviews...


Of all the DVDs my personal fav from this week is 'Yes Man' starring Jim Carrey.

If you are a fan of the work Jim Carrey does you are going to LOVE this movie. It is classic Jim Carrey although he does do something in this movie I have NEVER heard him do before...but you will have to pick it up to find out.

The story is about a recently divorced man (Jim Carrey) that is beginning to lose friends and possibly his job because he just says NO to everyone and everything. After being forced into going to a seminar he decides to improve his life by saying yes to EVERYTHING!! and I mean EVERYTHING!!!!

From this point on, true Jim Carrey hilarity ensues. Very similar to what he did in 'Liar Liar'

If I had to point out one thing bad with this movie... No Special Features on the DVD!! so we decided this morning that 'Yes Man' is a Renter not a buyer.

Three Other Movies came out this week and here they are with their Good, Bad OR Whatever Rating...

'Bedtime Stories'
Starring Adam Sandler and Russel Brand.

Saw this in the theatres and give this one a Good!!

A Great Family movie!




'Doubt'

Starring: Meryl Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams

This movie takes a look into an issue that can make some people uncomfortable BUT the way it is handled in this movie is very well done.

Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman totally deserving in their Oscar Nominations for this movie.

I'm giving this one a Good!!

And Finally... 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'

Starring: Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly

Now, you may notice the cover to the right is from the original released back in 1951 when it won a Golden Globe. This is not a mistake if you want to rent this movie stay away from the Keanu Reeves Version the Original is MUCH better and its even in Black and white!! Doesn't say much for Keanu Reeves...

'The Day The Earth Stood Still' (Original)

I give this one a Good!!

'The Day The Earth Stood Still' (Keanu Reeves)

I Give this one a Bad!!

Next week available for Rent: The Reader (Drama) and The Spirit (Comic Book/Superhero)

Where is our $$$ Todd Van Allen!!!!!

Last week we gave Todd Van Allen a CHUNK of Money to go to Malibu to report on Barbie's 50th Birthday for us.

So after a few days we finally were able to get in touch with Todd, but it doesn't appear he went to Malibu at all!! It looks to us like he pocketed our coin and played with HIS own dolls trying to pass it off like he was in Malibu...

These are the pictures he sent us claiming they were from the Barbie Birthday Party in Malibu... YEAH RIGHT!!!!

If you have seen Todd Van Allen Please contact Bobs Breakfast Immediately at 1 800 495 1037 OR bobsbreakfast@bob.fm

Inner City Pressure

As part of our Good, Bad, Whatever this past Monday (March 9) my good was that for the first time ever I painted a canvas!!

Now, the last time I even painted a picture takes me back to art class in high school. Believe me, it was far too abstract for even my teacher to appreciate. Soooo I threw in the towel or paintbrush if you will.

Then this past weekend, as a couple, my girlfriend and I painted pictures together... (pausing for awwwww's)... I know its pretty cute eh? hahahahahaha

Since talking about this painting on air Monday we at Bobs Breakfast have received MANY requests to see the painting. So for all of you waiting anxiously for my first masterpiece...

HERE IT IS!!!!
