I don't know where you're from Chris B. but I work at a video store and JCVD only come out on dvd April 27th.
But as for the movie, JCVD is a pretty cleaver film good plot and all, I agree with the 85%.

JCVD is on Netflix watch instantly, I'll be watching it in the coming weeks. I'm going to rent What Doesn't Kill You, because of Ruffalo. I'll probably get Benjamin Button next week on Blu-Ray, though my thoughts on that movie have lowered the more I think about it.

I am so getting X-Men.

Chris B. on 04-27-2009 08:13 PM

i'm tellin you man JCVD has been at my blockbuster for a month and a half. i wonder why we got it before any of you guys.

He's probably right Blockbuster likes to buy exclusive rights to certain films so that they can rent it out before it comes out and before it's released. Thus making people who really want to see it go to blockbuster and rent it. I used to work at movie gallery and we ran into that situation a few times. JCVD looks awesome thansk for the heads up on the netflix instant I'm going to check it out on there instead of going to get it.

I can finally replace the crappy torrent bootleg of X-Men.

Now, where's Daria?

I reviewed JCVD in my new blog at cinematicdays.blogspot.com

It's a blog where I basically watch a ****load of movies, bad, good, old, new...anything I've never seen before...and review them, to the best of my ability.

Please check it out.

Shameless plug? yeah. it is. but i shan't apologize.

Yep. Not very kind of anyone to assume that Chris B is a crackpot. I rented JCVD from the blockbuster here well over a month ago.

Great movie! JCVD is definitely one of the top movies of 2008!

I am definitely getting the X-Men volumes once I get the money. That was one of the best series from my childhood along with Batman, Spider-Man, and Beast Wars. I even started the wiki on those 90s Marvel series, I have such fond memories of it. Disappointed there's not a single bonus feature but at least we get the first two and a half seasons.

Already have the three seasons of Star Trek TOS on DVD, with season one on HD-DVD. And since I do not have a Blu-Ray, nor do I desire one, I will be sticking with my $200 set.

I've gotta see "JCVD". I don't need another Star Trek set of TOS. So, "JCVD" is it. Hmm. I expected to say more.

Zaraki on 04-28-2009 12:10 AM

OH MY GOD! BRIDE WARS IS OUT!! I need to run out and pick that up! NOW!

But first, let me grab this nail gun and shoot it through both of my testicles, then drink a gallon of drain-o, while giving myself a root canal through my *** and watching the Spirit!

... On a serious note, perhaps I'll rent the old X-men volumes, just to see if the stuff I watched when i was younger was any good. I sure as hell know I'll be having a Star Trek movie marathon though.

Benjamin Button was over hyped. Whilst I agree that the special ageing effects were good, it was hard not to compare it to the far superior Forrest Gump. I was left a bit impartial at the end of it. It had potential.

Enigma on 04-28-2009 02:06 AM

Anyone seen the TOS with the new digital effects in? Does it make a big difference?

frogleg on 04-28-2009 08:14 AM

JCVD was amazing. Everyone's correct about Blockbuster - it's in the "Blockbuster Exclusive" case on the shelf. I watched it sometime in mid-March, but the street date is now. But yeah, a great, great movie.

Gimy on 04-28-2009 08:31 AM

yeah, jcvd has been out for awhile. the "blockbuster exclusive" thing is odd because other than this particular situation...it usually means nothing. i've seen that tag on a flick at blockbuster and its already out other places to rent.

ColinTheCimmerian on 04-28-2009 11:20 AM

I've been waiting for X-men to come to DVD forever. I have the entire series recorded on VHS from its original run, but those tapes are degrading in a hurry. Hopefully they end up releasing another few volumes to complete the series; seems odd that they're only covering the first 2 and a half seasons.

Also really looking forward to JCVD; I'm stilling hoping Van Damme can make a wide release theatrical comeback someday.

Chris B. on 04-28-2009 01:32 PM

aww come on guys i'm not a crackpot....not entirely anyway.
