    DVD Review HTF Review: Van Helsing

    Of course he has a right to his opinion, and it is as valid as anyone else's. Obviously, he also has influence on those with similar taste in movies (as he should - how many of us trust the opinions of a friend over reviews?). What I am saying is statements like "the CGI was horrible", "the...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Van Helsing

    So, lemme get this straight: You heard it was bad, you willfully rented it, sat down and watched it also in spite of what you had heard, and then complain about it? Oh, I am so relieved. You are going to show ILM how it is done correctly, are you? It's amazing how everyone knows CGI better...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Van Helsing

    " ...ruined by placing the blame on the viewer." I agree, to a point. If a film is misrepresented by the trailer attracting viewers based on a false impression, I can see your point. Examples of this are the first Alien3 trailer ("...On earth, everyone can hear you scream."), or The Lost...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Van Helsing

    "I will tell people that I hated the movie." Jacob, I meant what would you say to those with differing opinions of LOTR ? Even though you and I hold Jackson's masterpiece in high regard, do those who hold other, less flattering, opinions have questionable taste in movies? Of course not; they...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Van Helsing

    "garfield is an oscar winner compared to van hesling." Your opinion, jacob (which you are entitled to). And even though I extended respect to your cinematic tastes (and did not, I might point out, take a swipe at it despite the reviews), the fact that you still felt the urge to do so to mine...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Van Helsing

    Count me among those who found this film to be a great deal of fun. I feel for those who came into the film expecting it to be faithful to Uni's classics, but those people were not paying attention to the trailers. I concur that the film delivered PRECISELY what the trailers promised (and IMO...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Van Helsing

    I just picked up the WS version (of course) at Best Buy, and found it did not have the bonus disc inside. When I asked about it, it seems that they had some which had a special sticker on it, and some that did not ON THE SAME RACK. OK, it would have saved me some grief if I had read the stickers...
