Malevolent is a direct to video release staring Lou Diamond-Phillips. The cast is mostly made up of film and television character actors. While not exceptional, this is not a bad film either. It’s one of those “innocent guy framed for murder” films with enough plot holes to make Swiss cheese. If you’re willing to ignore the incredible coincidences needed to pull off the crime, an ending that falls a little flat, and some rather obvious continuity flaws, this one is worth at least a look.

Originally released in 1988 this film received 4 Academy awards (Best film editing, best sound effects editing, best visual effects, special achievement in animation direction) and was the first film to feature a combination of live action and traditional cell drawn animation. Before any of the other big budget animation films of the 90’s (think the Little Mermaid, The Lion King, etc.) there was Roger Rabbit. This film spawned the animation revolution of the 90’s and there still to this day is nothing like it. One pa...t slap stick comedy and film noir equals a whole lot of fun for you and old as this is not your everyday kids cartoon. The computer animated film of today are great but, after watching Roger Rabbit and remembering just who well shot, directed, written and drawn this film is you can’t help but get nostalgic for the good old days of traditional animation.
Toon star Roger is worried that his wife Jessica is playing patty cake with someone else, in comes washed up detective Eddy Valant to spy on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead and Roger is framed for his murder. On the way to redemption we uncover a sinister plot to wipe out all of toon town for good. A movie for young and old alike truly one of the best films to ever come out of Hollywood and Robert Zemekis.

When I was 12 I rode my 10-speed down a huge hill and crashed down a concrete stairwell into a brick wall. I survived. The bike didn’t. If only I had known there was a career in this stuff it might have hurt a little less. Of course, in those days there was no such thing as X games. With this DVD, perhaps the X Games have arrived…with highlights from X Games VII in Philadelphia.

Ever since Dragonslayer lit up the screen, I've been waiting for a comparable dragon movie to come along. There have been a few between then and now, most recently the lighthearted Dragonheart, but none have come close to capturing the style and mood of Dragonslayer. Finally a dark depiction of the mythical beasts has returned to ravage audiences and scorch anything in sight, although it could have been a lot better.
