10. Dirty Dancing - Official Dance Workout

Finally, we end this edition of RT on DVD with a home video title for everyone on your Christmas list: Dirty Dancing -- The Official Dance Workout!

Tired of Billy Blanks yelling at you with that drill sergeant smile on his face? Can't follow N*SYNC choreographer-turned-Stomp the Yarder Darrin Henson's Dance Grooves? Just grab a partner, turn up The Contours, and pretend your name is Baby and that nobody puts you in a corner.

Until next week, happy renting!

Mummy 3 - A Rental

Mamma Mia - A Rental (I'm a ABBA fan, so maybe I will love it and get it, but I will rent it first)

Doctor Horrible: Already Preordered on Amazon. I will receive only after Christmas tough, according to their prevision.

Traitor: Wow, lokks solid. A definitive rental.

The Little Mermaids Trilogy: I remember seeing the second one a looooong time ago. Really, who watch those Direct-to Dvd sequels anymore? The only good one was The Lion King II, and even then...

Dirty Dancing Workout: I've had the time of my life... Damn, now I will have this song in my head all day. Thanks RT! (This movie is my mom's favorite movie since she is young. She got the soundtrack on Vinyl, Audiocassette, CD and the movie on DVD. )

I won't be getting anything this week. I recommend Traitor, I think it is a good rental. I will rent Dr. Horrible and Generation Kill. Just a heads up, don't get Planet Terror/Death Proof on Blu because it is a total waste of money since they are going to release a box set with the faux trailers and Robert.R even said so on the DVD. Man, almost one more week til Christmas! I cant wait, I just asked for dvds and movie books, did anyone else ask for DVDs? I know I am getting The Wire set and probably some other flicks.

This week we have "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", one of the worst movies of the year, or so I've heard. The first Mummy was goofy hokey fun with likable characters, (9/10), but "The Mummy Returns" was garbage, my dad liked it, my brother liked it, I hated it. Brendan Fasier and Racheal Weiz were bored, the kid was annoying, there was too much loud stupid action, and the plot had some serious deja vu. From what I hear, "The Mummy Returns" is as good as "Iron Man" in comparisson to "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", so I'm skipping it. "The Mummy Returns" = 2/10.

I heard Roger Ebert say it was the best Mummy yet. Now, I've never met Roger, but use to watch him on TV, I still watch the old episodes, and read his reviews of films every week, I feel like I know him and I don't know if I'd feel the same about movies without him, but 3 stars for "Tomb of the Dragon Emperor"?! Well, he's his own critic that's for sure.

This could turn into an disscusion about Ben Mankeweiz and Ben Lyons on "At the Movies" now, so I'll just say they're not as good as Roger Ebert, Gene Siskel, Richard Roeper, or Micheal Phillips, but in their own right I find them to be good critics.

Ebert's gone mad as of late. I love the guy, but what he says about current films has no validity.

ATHF is a must buy. Especially the episode with Kruk and the sirens. Dada is good.

Also there's "Mamma Mia!", which looks bad to me due to poor singing (mostly by Pierce "The Animal" Bronsan), and that got nominated for Best Picture at the Golden Globes. And "The Dark Knight", "Iron Man", and "WALL-E" were not. Think about that for a second.

Also there's The Little Mermaid trilogy is released. Oh goody, one great movie... and two lousy films. Okay, I haven't seen the sequels but I have a theatrical film bias. I think the first I might pick up, I'm an animated film buff (wait, no I'm a film buff in general) and "The Little Mermaid" saved Disney's butt and paved the way for "Aladdin" and "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast".

Damn, I hope there was something I could pick for my brother this week, since it's his birthday. I guess I'll just pick up an older DVD of a GOOD movie.

Wow! I hadn't really thought about it until the critic from Time magazine said "The Day the Earth Stood Still" was "the worst major release in what may be the most disastrous year in recent Hollywood history."

2008 was a CRUMMY year! With the exception of the obvious (Wall-E, Dark Knight, Iron Man and a couple of others), this year will go down as the year of horrible movies.

Movies that bombed, movies that disappointed horribly, to movies that did okay but will be completely forgotten by this time next year ('Wanted', and I LOVE Bekmambetov's "Nightwatch" series, 'Quantum of Solace'). In fact, according to RT itself, only 12 of the top 100 rated movies for 2008 saw wide release. Hollywood's death knell? Probably not, but certainly an ill omen. Their pockets are not LITERALLY bottomless.

The reviews of THE WRESTLER have been amazing. The year isn't over yet!

2008? Crummy? I disagree with you sir. I think this was a great year film, much better than last year. All the films I've seen this year I think range from good to great. Of course, I avoid things that look like garbage like "Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" or "The Clone Wars". And of course we had three cheap parody... for lack of a better word... movies released, so there were some stinkers, but I find this to be a great year in film. Yes, great!

Jokerboy, Wild at Heart is very good (8/0), Cage and Dern are cool and overall one of my favorites of from 1990.

Dr Horrible is ranked among the likes of The Dark Knight in the awesomeness category.

dark knight is a masterpiece of ITS GENRE. compared to other movies, it's good, but not incredible. also, i just finished reading no country for old men, and was reminded of the movie (which sticks very close to the book--the coens did an amazing job); i think chigurh anticipates nolan's joker--AND two face. i think sometimes we heap praise upon TDK because it did some things we see in mainstream cinema--like praising sarah palin for her debate performance even though she only did okay.

Dr. Horrible was great. I loved it. Mamma Mia was fun. I loved the play (seen it four times for work) and the movie was a good version. Other then Pierce Brosnan being possibly one of the worst voices heard on the screen, the cast was great, the music, it's abba, no comment needed. Ok, definetly a chick flick, but at least one guys will like.

The Grindhouse boxed set will never happen... because of the dreaded Weinsteins and their "brilliant" ideas about how to eventually profit from this film. Hacks - it was made to be a double feature, and was one perfect cinema experience. Of course, they had to go and ruin that on DVD. Figures.

I would pick up Dr. horrible, if I didn't already have it on my Itunes. Random Jake is right though, it is up there in awesomeness to The Dark Knight, actually it might be up there in total awesomeness to those great 80's classics, either Thrasher or Rad.

Besides that Traitor seems to be the only thing worth watching this weekend.
