 | Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.99 This was one of the funniest action-mystery-buddy comedies which many film critics loved, but nobody else saw. A sharply humorous twist on those annoying (at times) action-mystery-buddy comedy cliches; it's well worth watching.
|
 | Iron Man (Two-Disc Special Collectors' Edition)
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $5.75 This was one of the coolest comic-book adaptations from the summer of 2008. Not much heavy drama and angst to be found here; just action, excitement and fun.
|
 | Tropic Thunder (Unrated Director's Cut)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $2.90 Unapologetically -- and cheerfully -- raunchy and politically incorrect (with something to offend just about everyone), this is one of the sharpest, in-your-face satires about movies and Hollywood since "Blazing Saddles".
|
 | The Incredible Hulk (Three-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $3.94 I liked this version of the Marvel comic-book hero much better than the 2003 film version, because it's not overloaded with angst. It's also an affectionate shout-out to the 1970's era cult TV series. A fun comic book movie.
|
 | U.S. Marshals (Special Edition)
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $0.05 This is one of my favorite action movies; very fun to watch.
|
 | Star Trek (Two-Disc Digital Copy Edition)
Buy new: $22.99 This is J.J. Abrams' reboot of the classic sci-fi TV series, chronicling an epic adventure beyond the stars. LOVE it!
|
 | Ghost Rider (Two-Disc Extended Cut)
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $1.49 This is one of my favorite comic-book movies, featuring one of the more interesting characters from the Marvel universe.
|
 | The Dark Knight (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $2.23 Talk about an "awesome" comic book movie... this one definitely qualifies!
|
 | Wanted (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.52 This is a very good action movie, even if the premise may seem a bit unusual; perfect to munch popcorn by.
|
 | Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $2.25 This film is a satirical spoof of all of those musical "biopic" films. Tuneful fun, with lots of laughs, and an excellent cast.
|
 | Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $4.42 Okay, I admit it ... this is one of the best films from the "Star Trek" movie series so far.
|
 | Fantastic Four - Extended Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $3.57 I liked this movie, primarily because it's a comic book movie that doesn't take itself too seriously and it doesn't weigh you down with a lot of excessive drama and angst.
|
 | Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer (The Power Cosmic Edition, 2-Disc Set)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $2.50 And who'd have thought the sequel to "Fantastic Four" would be even more fun? Well, it definitely is!
|
 | The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.99 Another one of my favorite comedies. Even though it may seem more like a "guy" film, it's actually sweet, charming, and gleefully raunchy.
|
 | Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $2.34 One of my favorite Will Ferrell movies. Hysterically funny and a rather fond look back at TV news in the 1970's.
|
 | To Live and Die in L.A. (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.95 This crime drama still holds up some two decades later. Good script, good cast and an amazingly good musical score make this one work.
|
 | 10,000 B.C.
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01 This prehistoric adventure film is a bit silly ... but that's what makes it so much fun. A good companion for a big bowl of popcorn.
|
 | Journey to the Center of the Earth
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.11 This big-screen retelling of the classic Jules Verne tale is a lot of fun; great for kids and grown-ups alike.
|
 | The Happening
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.75 The first R-rated film from M. Night Shyamalan, this ecological thriller isn't bad as I originally thought. Worth a look-see.
|
 | Semi-Pro - Unrated (Two-Disc "Let's Get Sweaty" Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $1.19 If you love basketball, this is your kind of movie, and even if you don't love basketball, you'll still get a few good laughs.
