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).
