Like, when Robert Downey jr. or Johnny Depp wear a tux, they wish they looked as cool as Clooney does. You have to go back to Cary Grant to find a competitor. Robert Downey jr. was a better fit in his role than Clooney was as Bruce Wayne, but he wasn't as good looking.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-84643119007484945662010-03-29T15:08:20.412-04:002010-03-29T15:08:20.412-04:00Come on Matt, George Clooney?

And sorry, Dolph doesn't make my list these days either, not after his back-patting in Command Performance. The buttcrack drumsticks were a turn-off as well.JilltheGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369286648630294358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-44787230407054975392010-03-15T23:11:22.556-04:002010-03-15T23:11:22.556-04:00Just another reason why the Australians just know ...Just another reason why the Australians just know better how to enjoy the finer things in life.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-1010810408900984642010-03-14T07:44:35.132-04:002010-03-14T07:44:35.132-04:00The Aussie release DVD of the Dolph Punisher goes ...The Aussie release DVD of the Dolph Punisher goes cheap on eBay (where I got mine) and it's 16:9 enhanced to boot!Explosive Actionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443543631273036178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-84014081047026861112010-03-12T10:15:47.311-05:002010-03-12T10:15:47.311-05:00Demolition University would be great, Michael.

I'm also planning to review License to Drive next week, which is my own personal favorite Haim film, but any movies you send would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks for mentioning that the Dolph Punisher is back on the shelves, Ryan. I don't know if this is a relatively recent development, or it's been out for some time now, just because I stopped looking since I have my own copy, but either way, that's great news.<br /><br />JD, you can check out the review I just wrote of Punisher: War Zone, but I'll say here briefly that I did like that one better than this one by quite a bit.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-77575148365944320582010-03-11T18:33:01.224-05:002010-03-11T18:33:01.224-05:00You know I actually DID come across Lundgren's...You know I actually DID come across Lundgren's version in a video store-Hollywood Video to be specific, they had alot of older movies on DVD, it's a shame all the Hollywood Video stores near me closed down, as they put Blockbuster to shame.venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-56292174455103155892010-03-11T17:29:05.091-05:002010-03-11T17:29:05.091-05:00The Dolph Lundgren version is in print by the way ...The Dolph Lundgren version is in print by the way http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=the+punisher+dolph+lundgren&sprefix=The+Punisher+D (The link will probably be dead but according to amazon they're still selling it. I think it's rental stores more or less don't have it but in that regard most old movies aren't there anyway. The Punisher with Dolph still has a cult following. It is defended along with Superman III as underrated. In fact so are all The Punisher movies.<br /><br />I just thought that this one was boring.Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-1366915147199403602010-03-11T16:34:14.943-05:002010-03-11T16:34:14.943-05:00I actually didn't mind the changes to the Pnis...I actually didn't mind the changes to the Pnisher character in this film, though that's probably because I was never really into comic books, so I didn't really have any exact expectations of how I wanted the film to play out, in fact I wasn't really expecting much from this film at all, but it exceeded my expectations, though War Zone was slightly better as it had a more consistent tone(I.E. it didn't have any highly misplaced and unfunny humor like that dance scene or the popsical torture)and had the same type of crazy over-the-top violence that Lundgren's version had. P.S. on an unrelated note, would you like me to send you my copy of Demolition University? You know, so you have something to review in honor of Corey Haim.venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-16928741500248303482010-03-11T16:16:20.986-05:002010-03-11T16:16:20.986-05:00What did you think of the last PUNISHER film that ...What did you think of the last PUNISHER film that came out?
