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!!

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

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

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.
