DVD
Soylent Green starring Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, Chuck Connors. Detective in 2022 NYC on the trail of a murderer finds a grisly truth of overpopulation. I got this from Arrow for $9.10. I should order Omega Man and Planet of the Apes for a Heston Sci-Fi set.
District B13 starring a bunch of hoppy Frenchmen. I read a good review of this by Crider. In 2010 Paris a wall surrounds District B13 where police service is not provided. Undercover cop Damien enters the District to infiltrate a gang and defuse the neutron bomb they have. Lots and lots of action with those French guys who can jump over and through anything.
Wassup Rockers starring a bunch of unknown teen actors. Goofy Hispanic skateboarders skate to Beverly Hills, try to romance rich white girls, get chased away by rich, white teen dudes, and try to get back to the safety of South Central Los Angeles. "Overflowing with tenderness and sly humor."
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix starring The Usual Trio plus famous Brit actors/ Lord Voldemort has returned and Hogwarts is under pressure by the Ministry of Magic who don't believe in Voldemort's return.
Superbad starring Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Bill Hader, Seth Rogen. Two high school geeks try to buy booze for the ball to bone beautiful broads.
The Beyonce Experience, Live starring Beyonce and her band. Filmed at Beyonce's Los Angeles concert in September, 2007.
Bourne Ultimatum starring Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Joan Allen. Wow! Scott Glenn is in this! Has anyone given this picture a poor review? I have yet to see it but want to. I spilled coffee on this one.
