DVD REVIEWS for August 29th, 2008

Belly (Blu-Ray)
Judge Franck Tabouring's belly is hurting. It's had enough of shallow crime dramas.

Chronicle Of An Escape
This movie reminded Judge David Johnson about the time he escaped from prison. Best. Bachelor. Party. Ever.

Delicatessen: Special Edition
Judge Kristin Munson could just eat you up.

Echangistes
Judge Christopher Kulik was hoping for a film on the French Canadian Options Exchange.

Grindhouse Trash 3: How To Make A Dirty Movie Pre-Release Review!
If Appellate Judge Tom Becker knows one thing, it's how to make a dirty movie.

Restraint
Judge Gordon Sullivan restrained himself as he wrote this review.

Rogue
Judge David Johnson vs. man-eating crocodile. Judge David Johnson wins. Every. Damn. Time.

Schoolgirl Report 3: What Parents Find Unthinkable (International Edition) Pre-Release Review!
Judge Christopher Kulik realized too late that this report was written by a German pervert.

Schoolgirl Report 4: What Drives Parents To Despair Pre-Release Review!
Judge Christopher Kulik found this Report better than the last, if only for the return of a certain Swedish maid.

The Scorpion King 2: Rise Of A Warrior (Blu-Ray)
Judge Clark Douglas wished this warrior hadn't bothered with all the rising business.

The Secret (Blu-Ray)
Can you keep a secret? Judge Clark Douglas can't, so don't tell him.

Son Of Sam Pre-Release Review!
Judge Gordon Sullivan has memorized a few actuarial tables in his day.
