New DVD Releases 12.31.02

As expected, it’s another soft week, with only one or two big releases. This list is ripped from the pages of DVDJournal.com.

# The Art of Action (2002)

Double Whammy: Special Edition (2001)

Eye See You (2002)

Hey Arnold! The Movie (2002)

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season Seven (7-disc set)


Did anyone else notice how all of the TNG boxed sets seemed to multiply for the Christmas rush? They released 6 sets in the past 6 or 7 months, but you usually couldn’t find them in stores. If you could, you’d only find a spare copy here and there, and usually not more than two of the most recent seasons’ releases at a time.

But once the gift giving season started up — look out. All 6 seasons were available and on shelves. I wonder if they sold well as gifts?

# Wisegirls: Special Edition (2002)

XXX: Special Edition (widescreen) (2002)

XXX: Special Edition (pan-and-scan) (2002)


XXX is your big release of the week. It certainly beats out last week’s PLUTO NASH. I haven’t seen XXX yet, though. I reserved the DVD, so hopefully I can get to it in the next couple of weeks…

    Nooooo!! Augie, don’t watch it!!! :) It is, quite possibly, one of the single worst movies I have ever had the misfortune to sit through.

    Now, I DO like some action movies – the DieHard movies, for instance, and True Lies, etc., so it’s not a genre issue. But XXX was possibly the single most “insulting to anyone with an intellect level higher than that of a toadstool” movie.

    Patricia is a girl, and therefore she doesn’t much care for action movies, and she agreed to see this as a favor to me.

    [pause]

    I still am not hearing the end of how bad this movie was.

    Therefore, please heed my advice when I say RUN very far and fast away from this. Even as mindless action entertainment, this is horrible.
    Hell, even as “guy” movies go, this is pretty darn bad.

    For example, the Transporter has the most simplistic plot, minimal dialogue, and truly stretches the definition of credibility and the suspension of disbelief. But yet, somehow, it was an entertaining and fun movie to watch. That’s what I expected from XXX and didn’t get.

    But we’ll talk after you’ve seen it – Please rent it first, though. Because unless you’re getting this for $7.99 at a used CD store…. ;)

    Actually, I’m getting it for free with my gift card. So it’s not a total waste. But I’ll keep all of this in mind.

    I saw it on sale somewhere (Tower, maybe?) for $9.99.
