 Dragonball Z + yuppies + $20mil = steaming pile of dung. (stupid censorship on amazon) October 12, 2008
Ummm no (Texas)
basically its a b movie that was made with a list price.
4 rich guys with super powers contend with some other yuppie who wants their powers. that's about it. nothing else, or even that, is remotely interesting.
the rich warlocks go around using their powers for anything, which btw, every time they use them they grow prematurely older. which perfectly explains why they use them for trivial things, such as lock picking, and car maintenance (which includes front windshield repair.) sure its addictive, but still is nonsense.
reminds me of merlin's shop of horrors.
o the dragon ball energy ball fights were freaking amazing. not good amazing, but i almost fell out my chair laughing amazing.
luckily i bought it from a bargain bin ($5). but its not really worth that price. not memorable, and coasters come in better styles.
Typical 21st century teenage supernatural fair August 30, 2008

Since I'm a fan of horror and the occult arts, I thought it was about time I checked out The Covenant. Luckily for me, I rented it.
Within the first ten minutes of the movie, it was clear to me that Hollywood made this for a certain demographic: teenagers who have short attention spans. This movie did not deliver but isn't that the norm nowadays when it comes to directing a film.
The acting was subpar, making me believe that casting for this flick consisted of going to the local burger joint at an upper middle class town and pointing a finger at those people needed for an upcoming witch movie. Truly a sad thing.
The plot wasn't all that bad but it needed professionals to develop it and not the crew that worked on The Covenant. I hate having to keep using this line but "it had so much potential" and that's the truth.
Bottom line, if you have teenagers who like the supernatural like watching the television show supernatural, then by all means buy them this DVD. However, if you want you and your kids to watch something more thought provoking but centers around the supernatural or the occult, then buy them the MGM double feature DVD of Kolchak: The Night Stalker/The Night Strangler. Even though it's dated, you simply cannot go wrong here.
Entertaining August 8, 2008
MoMoney (Boston, MA)
Though this movie isn't exactly an award-wining epic or a piece of cinematic excellence, it is extremely entertaining and a perfect piece of escapist fantasy. The story line is very good as well as the special effects and the cinematography. The main actors are delightful to look at as long as you don't judge them on their acting ability. This movie won't make you question the meaning of life, but it will provide you with a few hours of entertainment.
