Did Vin Diesel's over the top sci-fi spectacle tank with the critics? Yes. Will that make you want to see it any less? No! If you enjoy occasionally dabbling in the "so bad it's good" genre, then Babylon A.D. could very well be the most enjoyable two hours of your week. Diesel stars as Torop, a mercenary charged with escorting a young girl from Mongolia to Harlem amidst a hailstorm of bombastic, violent enemies; director Mathieu Kassovitz (Gothika) was so put off by 20th Century Fox's manhandling of his film (resulting in a cut full of "pure violence and stupidity") that he publicly denounced his own film upon release. Maybe one day we'll get Kassovitz's true director's cut, but that day isn't today; until then, make do with this special edition cut, which includes enough deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes featurettes to help you piece together an idea of what Kassovitz may have been going for in the first place.

Babylon A.D. looks pretty funny so I will rent that and I will also rent Righteous Kill because that also look pretty funny- and I love me some Carla Guigno. I know I have The Wackness coming from Netflix tomorrow which I look forward to watching. (Reply to this) |

JBrick2334 writes: on Jan 06 2009 05:18 AM I cant wait to get to the store today to buy this. I thought it was the best comedy of the year, very underrated. Seeing Red survive it all again is reason enough to buy this. (Reply to this) |

moviebuff#1 writes: on Jan 06 2009 09:07 AM Pineapple Express was a funny movie, but it wasn't a very good movie (ala Step Brothers) i really don't think it is worth the 2 Disc Special Edition or even the Blu-Ray version. (Reply to this) |

tomwaitsjr writes: on Jan 06 2009 02:53 PM Points. Eden Lake in years? I loved Severance! Seems to be from the same school. BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA Is that a play on "The Last Supper?" Lol. I think it is. Ballsy. Again, jen, a great job in what appears to be the week that released the worst films of the year. I'm getting THE WACKNESS and RIGHTEOUS KILL from Netflix today. Sadly, not Pineapple Express, which I saw in theaters... but... .forgot. .. most of it. . . kind of...whoa... what was I talking about? Can't wait to see it. Wookies. (Reply to this) |
