Run Lola Run — Blu-ray Review | DVD News and Reviews | 2/18/2008
Run Lola Run is the internationally acclaimed German-language movie starring Franka Potente as "Lola." After receiving a frantic call from her boyfriend Manni, Lola has 20 minutes to replace the 100,000 marks Manni lost, or his mobster boss will kill him.I think Run Lola Run was the first foreign language film I watched, or at least the first one I remember. I used to prefer dubs of foreign movies because it was less work to watch them, but that changed as I got older and realized that something is missed with the dub. The original characters emotion is removed from the scene, replaced by an actor in a sound booth that's trying to deliver his lines, but is completely separated by the action on the screen. I watched Run Lola Run with the original German audio track turned on (Dolby TrueHD 5.1), and it sounded great. I've always been a fan of the soundtrack for the movie, and it sounds absolutely awesome in 5.1. There are 5.1 tracks in Spanish and Portuguese, and an English Dolby... read more
June 5, 2007: Spanish Practices | The Shield | 6/6/2007
Man, what a season. Can't the final season just start next week? Or can't we just fast-forward to March 2008 right now? (Leave Christmas in just for the heck of it.)Again, The Shield threw me for a loop. I was expecting either Shane or a member of the Mackey family to bite the big one and none of them did. I was expecting Vic to get his job back, but not by exposing the Mexican mob, and I certainly didn't expect him to walk out of his hearing. As I've said before, the twists and turns are what make this show so great. We start off with a bang, right where last week left off, with Vic and Aceveda doing a dance. I loved what happened between the two of them in this episode. Vic tries to blackmail Aceveda by showing him the picture. Then David turns around and sends a lawyer to tell Vic he's being sued and will lose everything. Then Vic goes back to Pazuela and gets the memory card, which forces Aceveda's hand. But instead of just trying to get his job back, Vic teams up with Aceveda... read more
May 29, 2007: Recoil | The Shield | 5/30/2007
I know it's probably bad to start off a blog about this week's episode by saying I can't wait for next week's. But it's true. The last time I remember anticipating a finale as much as this one it was the final episode of Cheers. And this is just a season finale. I mean, jeez, my heart. My poor, tired heart. I know my heart can't wait until 11:05 pm/ET next week for it to be over. It gets a workout each week and I'm sure the ticker is a little exhausted at this point. Then again, we get to wait nine months for more, so it's bittersweet. Anyway, where were we? Right, we had another heck of an episode leading up to the finale. Everything looked kind of calm at the beginning, but in true Shield fashion, it all hit the fan by the end of the hour. Let's talk San Marcos first. We finally have some closure on the whole situation. Vic's goal was to solve the murder case before he got pushed out, so he had five days to figure it out... which, of course, he did in one. That contractor guy... read more
May 22, 2007: The Math of the Wrath | The Shield | 5/23/2007
With only three episodes left in this season, this week we get our setup episode for the final two. Dialogue-heavy and bloodshed-light, we get some more insight into Shane and the Armenians and find out that Hernan is not dead after all. Shane’s in the middle of this gas-station murder and is talking to the daughter of the Armenian mob boss. Shane’s talking to her like she doesn’t know anything, but clearly she’s more on her game than he thinks. And soon she might be in charge herself, since Pop is on his deathbed. Meanwhile she’s paying Shane to look into some apartment robberies and he finds a nice hooker who’s able to give him a little bit of intel on the people who broke into her place. He gives it to her and she takes care of the problem herself. She seems to have Shane wrapped around her finger now. Man, Shane just can’t lay low for one minute and stay out of trouble, can he? After all this time, we finally see Ronnie’s reaction to... read more
