As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts.\u003cbr\u003e\nA spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover that the planet is plunging into the darkness of an extended eclipse, and it's populated by hordes of ravenous, razor-fanged beasties that only come out at night. The body count rises, and Pitch Black settles into familiar sci-fi territory.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat sets the movie apart is Twohy's developing visual style, suggesting that this veteran of B-movie schlock may advance to the big leagues. Like the makers of The Blair Witch Project, Twohy understands the frightening power of suggestion; his hungry monsters are better heard than seen (although once seen, they're chillingly effective), and Pitch Black gets full value from moments of genuine panic. Best of all, Twohy's got a well-matched cast, with Mitchell (so memorable with Ally Sheedy in High Art) and Diesel (Pvt. Caparzo from Saving Private Ryan) being the standouts. The latter makes the most of his muscle-man role, and his character's development is one more reason this movie works better than it should. --Jeff Shannon\u003cbr\u003e\nDark Fury - The Chronicles of Riddick (Animated)\u003cbr\u003e\nTaking a page from The Animatrix, Dark Fury is part of a new trend of bridging theatrical sequels. As an official product of a franchise, the 35-minute anime benefits from having the original actors voice the characters, including Vin Diesel as Riddick. This story opens with the new action hero and the two other survivors of Pitch Black already caught by a giant spaceship filled with dread. The sinewy leader has a unique--and creepy--jail for master villains and she has her sights set on Riddick. The film--indeed the series--is indebted to animator Peter Chung, who brings his techno style from his Aeon Flux series. His smooth animation for Riddick doesn't reinvent the character as much as give him a new, appealing fluidity. As anime goes, there's nothing really new here--plenty of action, cool killers, and dramatic spurts of blood--but it's a building block for how this genre might enliven movie series and sequels in the future. --Doug Thomas, ISBN13: B000EQHXN2 ISBN10: B000EQHXN2 Material Type: dvd\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108628877475,"sku":"B9.13.1 F_H0000BON","price":19.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/711OxjssaUL.jpg?v=1754556370"},{"product_id":"a-sound-of-thunder-widescreen-edition","title":"A Sound of Thunder (Widescreen Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the future, time travel is possible--and lucrative--especially for Charles Hatton (Sir Ben Kingsley), the owner of Time Safari Inc., a travel agency escorting wealthy clients to the Prehistoric Era.

Billed as a special-effects comedy, the imaginative film (the top box-office smash of 1985) has staying power because of the heart behind Zemeckis and Bob Gale's script. High schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox, during the height of his TV success) is catapulted back to the '50s where he sees his parents in their teens, and accidentally changes the history of how Mom and Dad met. Filled with the humorous ideology of the '50s, filtered through the knowledge of the '80s (actor Ronald Reagan is president, ha!), the film comes off as a Twilight Zone episode written by Preston Sturges. Filled with memorable effects and two wonderfully off-key, perfectly cast performances: Christopher Lloyd as the crazy scientist who builds the time machine (a DeLorean luxury car) and Crispin Glover as Marty's geeky dad. --Doug Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\nCritics and audiences didn't seem too happy with Back to the Future, Part II, the inventive, perhaps too clever sequel. Director Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Marty watching his own actions from the first film. --Tom Keogh\u003cbr\u003e\nShot back-to-back with the second chapter in the trilogy, Back to the Future, Part III is less hectic than that film and has the same sweet spirit of the first, albeit in a whole new setting. This time, Marty ends up in the Old West of 1885, trying to prevent the death of mad scientist Christopher Lloyd at the hands of gunman Buford \"Mad Dog\" Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson, who had a recurring role as the bully Biff). Director Zemeckis successfully blends exciting special effects with the traditions of a Western and comes up with something original and fun. --Tom Keogh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet Contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DVD set of the Back to the Future trilogy is as classy and professional as the series.

The Nadesico is to be commandeered by the United Earth Forces and Akito, the reluctant hero of the series, relieved of his duties. Both Nergal Heavy Industries and the military are very interested in Akito, as he seems to have demonstrated an ability to teleport between planets using the blue Chulip Crystals found on Mars. Typically, he doesn't remember how--or if--he teleported from Mars; he only recalls waking up on Earth. Meanwhile, Yurika refuses to give up her one-sided romance with Akito and cheerfully defies the ambitious Erina Won. Megumi and Minato make an astonishing discovery about the identity of the \"Jovian Lizards\" who are at war with Earth: the pilot's capsule in the captured Jovian mobile suit contains toys from the spoof '70s mecha series \"Gekigangar III\"! Director Tatsuo Sato takes the story to new heights of absurdity in \"Let's Go with Hot-Blooded Anime\": the casts of Nadesico and \"Gekigangar\" watch each other's programs, borrowing ideas for weapons and complaining about the plots. Among American TV cartoons, only Rocky and Bullwinkle and The Simpsons dared this kind of outrageous self-parody. Unrated; suitable for ages 10 and up for minor sexual innuendoes and violence, largely restricted to robot versus robot. --Charles Solomon, ISBN13: B000059S0N ISBN10: B000059S0N Material Type: dvd\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109046276259,"sku":"B9.9.1 F_03-24-25_UBD_H00009JP","price":24.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/21otOu6gwNL.jpg?v=1754563602"},{"product_id":"event-horizon","title":"Event Horizon","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from Andrei Tarkovsky's heady science fiction meditation Solaris by way of Alien and Hellraiser, this visually splendid but pulpy piece of science fiction schlock concerns a mission in the year 2047 to investigate the experimental American spaceship Event Horizon, which disappeared seven years previously and suddenly, out of nowhere, reappeared in the orbit of Neptune.

Soon unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.\u003cbr\u003e\nBonus Content:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Carpenter's The Thing: Terror Takes Shape Feature Commentary with Director John Carpenter and Kurt Russell Production Background Archives Cast Production Photographs Production Art and Storyboards Location Design Production Archives The Saucer The Blairmonster Outtakes Post Production Production Notes Cast and Filmmakers Theatrical Trailer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDirector John Carpenter and special makeup effects master Rob Bottin teamed up for this 1982 remake of the 1951 science fiction classic The Thing from Another World, and the result is a mixed blessing. It's got moments of highly effective terror and spine-tingling suspense, but it's mostly a showcase for some of the goriest and most horrifically grotesque makeup effects ever created for a movie. With such highlights as a dog that splits open and blossoms into something indescribably gruesome, this is the kind of movie for die-hard horror fans and anyone who slows down to stare at fatal traffic accidents. On those terms, however, it's hard not to be impressed by the movie's wild and wacky freak show. It all begins when scientists at an arctic research station discover an alien spacecraft under the thick ice, and thaw out the alien body found aboard. What they don't know is that the alien can assume any human form, and before long the scientists can't tell who's real and who's a deadly alien threat. Kurt Russell leads the battle against the terrifying intruder, and the supporting cast includes Richard Masur, Richard Dysart, Donald Moffat, and Wilford Brimley. They're all playing standard characters who are neglected by the mechanistic screenplay (based on the classic sci-fi story \"Who Goes There?\" by John W. Campbell), but Carpenter's emphasis is clearly on the gross-out effects and escalating tension. If you've got the stomach for it (and let's face it, there's a big audience for eerie gore), this is a thrill ride you won't want to miss. --Jeff Shannon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet Contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bonus features are exemplary, notably the excellent 80-minute documentary, \"Terror Takes Shape,\" which covers all aspects of the production, and the relaxed, friendly, informative commentary by director John Carpenter and star Kurt Russell--a model for how all commentaries should be. There's also an outtakes reel with some tantalizing stills of unused footage. Text and stills-based montages illustrate the location design, conceptual artwork, and various other aspects of the production. The sound mix is Dolby 5.1, although the non-anamorphic widescreen picture is not all it could be. --Mark Walker, ISBN13: 9780783227504 ISBN10: 0783227507 Material Type: dvd\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46124379373731,"sku":"B9.15.2 X_STR_H0000L1S","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/910hfhkNkFL.jpg?v=1754806908"},{"product_id":"predator-1","title":"Predator","description":"ISBN13: B00005JA8B ISBN10: B00005JA8B Material Type: dvd","brand":"UsedBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46503716716707,"sku":"B9.2.3 F_10-30-25_UBD_H0001LAV","price":18.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/61oKbbvDBwL.jpg?v=1762832811"}],"url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/collections\/science-fiction-dvds.oembed","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
