DVD RELEASES 7/25

The Benchwarmers- I popped this in not expecting much and essentially that’s what I got. Nothing much. And no offense to Adam Sandler, but anything from Happy Madison Productions really isn’t terrific anyways. I enjoyed the novelty value of Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore but preferred his other projects more a la Wedding Singer and even his role in Spanglish. The Benchwarmers is a movie in the same mold as Grandma’s Boy about arrested development in older men, this time on the field of baseball. Rob Schneider(Deuce Bigalow) actually wasn’t terrible in this. Just the entire movie felt flabby and messy, and really pointless while trying to speak about bullies and nerds. Jon Heder(Napoleon Dynamite) reprises his role as Napoleon essentially. Talk about capitalizing on a fad. A few funny characters, few laughable moments (Carlos the Dominican), but otherwise don’t waste your time. This one definetely missed the strike zone. Oh yeah…I went there.

RATING:

Final Destination 3-I already reviewed this flick but in case you were wondering, this movie is ok. It’s got a weak script and pretty crappy acting but good action, blood and gore. It’s entertaining but nothing special. It’s cool if only for the opening sequence but felt very campy and very much like a notch above a B-movie horror.
RATING:
