About this Page

This page is dedicated to movie reviews and is divided into five section, as well as this home page. The first section is New Film Reviews. This is where you can see my reviews on movies either currently or recently in theatres. (Easy enough to figure out). The second section Reviews New Video and DVD Releases. I try to watch the DVD version of new releases so I can also give you information and a rating on the DVD features. My third section is my Archives. This is where I deposit reviews from the previous two sections when they get too old. My fourth section is my Video Store. This store allows you to link to Buy.com an online retailer of fine videos and DVD's. They have some of the best, if not the best, prices on DVDs. In addition to that they sell other cool items like electronics and computers. Finally, the fifth section of my site contains links to other cool sites on the 'net including, of course, movie sites.

Matt's Movie Ratings

I rate my movies on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the highest. If you want to transfer this to a five star scale just divide my rating by 2. For example, if I give a movie a 6 it would be the equivalent of a 3 star rating.
Each film is best compared with films in the same genre. By this I mean that a drama that I give a 8 to is better than a drama that I give a 6 to. But, a drama I give a 6 to may better than an action film I give a 7 to. I try to compare apples to apples, to use an old cliche. This does not mean that my numbering system should be compoletely disregarded. Generally when I give any movie an 8, it is going to be better than any movie I give a 6 to.

Matt's Movie Caveats

This is where I can warn you about my bias toward several things. I am a fan of the Die Hard film series. I am a fan of Bruce Willis action films in general. I am a fan of Chow Yun Fat and his films. I am a John Woo fan. I am a fan of action movies in general. Because of this a lot of my reviewed films are going to be action or have some action in them. This does not mean that all of the films I review will be action. So do not be completely scared off if you don't like action but be prepared.
So what this boils down to is, if an action film stars Willis or Chow or is directed by Woo you can probably knock a point off the rating to get a "true" rating. (If a film stars both of them and is directed by Woo, I don't know what would happen!)

Die Hard News

I have heard from DVDfile.com that 20th Century Fox is planning to release a Die Hard Special Edition DVD within the year. I, am of course, excited. They plan to have the widescreen version of the film (no big deal) but also will have director commentary trailers and still photography. I hope they add more. If you have been following the release of the film in its various formats. The closet thing to a special edition was the widescreen version of the film on VHS. This version had a behind the scenes featurette and the films trailer. The featurette is only about seven minutes and was a disapointment. This all aside I hope they impress us all with the Special Edition DVD!
