HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE TRIPLE H KING OF KINGS FROM DVDTALK

Triple H: the King Of Kings - There Can Be Only One is the latest release showcasing one of the biggest stars working in the sports entertainment today. In his time with the WWF/E, Paul Michael Levesque (Triple H to me and you), has put on some great matches, some that were alright and some that flat out stunk. Okay, so that last one is the "Hog Pen" match included as an extra.

Surprisingly, Triple H: the King Of Kings - There Can Be Only One is only a 2-disc set. I say "surprisingly", because if recent WWE superstar collections were any indication, then this should've been a 3-disc set. I have no idea why there's only two, but I do know his fans will get close to six hours of matches spanning his 13 years with the WWE.

Disc One [2h 57s]:

• the King Of Kings
  
  
• Getting Started - Interested in wrestling from the age of 5 or 6, HHH eventually hooks up with Killer Kowalski thanks to Ted Arcidi. During the first year he wrestles, he meets Pat Patterson, who offers him a development deal with the possibility of joining the WWF. Though it's what he wants, HHH tells him that he's not ready mentally or physically. As he continues to train at his gym, he meets someone from WCW and and spends a year there, until JJ Dillon calls to let him know that Vince is interested in signing him.
  
  
• RAW May 22, 1995 [Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. John Crystal] [3m 59s] - During his debut match for the WWF, a leaner, thinner Triple H wrestles John Crystal. Wanna have some fun during this short match? Take a drink every time McMahon or Lawler say "Hunter Hearst Helmsley". Actually...don't. You'll be drunk before the next chapter.
  
  
• Pressure - It's All On You & the Workhorse Title - Hunter talks about the beginning of his career in the WWF and how nerve-racked he was wrestling against local guys. He credits Marc Mero as the guy he learned the most from and states how much of an honor it was to win the Intercontinental Championship. I also liked the slight dig at Hogan.
  
  
• WWE Intercontinental Championship Match - RAW October 21, 1996 [Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Marc Mero] [10m 50s] - Along with assistance from Mr. Perfect, Hunter becomes the Intercontinental Champion after only a year in the company.
  
  
• Chyna, Curtain Call & the Crown - During this nearly four minute chapter, Triple H talks about how he and Shawn wanted to put together a group and their first encounter with Chyna. He brings up the MSG incident and how, since he wasn't untouchable like Shawn (since he was champ), he ended up taking the brunt of the punishment. Near the end, he talks about becoming King Of the Ring and his refusal to wear the crown that Vince "really wanted" him to wear. How he gets out of it is pretty damn funny. Well, Mick might not have thought so...
  
  
• King Of the Ring Final Match - King Of the Ring June 8, 1997 [Mankind vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley] [25m 13s]
  
  
• the Transformation - the Amplified Version - Hunter talks about trying to get more of his personality into his character and how DX allowed him to do that. Oh, and how they were constantly chided by Vince while doing their DX schtick on TV.
  
  
• WWE European Championship Match - Wrestlemania XIV March 29, 1998 [Owen Hart vs. Triple H] [17m 55s] - During the preceding chapter, HHH states how he thinks Owen Hart "never even scratched the surface of how good he was". After watching this match, i'd have to agree with him.
  
  
• Elevating the Game - Hunter talks about forming a "new" DX once Shawn leaves due to his injury. He also talks about how he elevated his game by cutting ties with DX on his way to an "Austin"-like level.
  
  
• WWE Championship Match - RAW August 23, 1999 [Mankind vs. Triple H] [13m 15s]- Mick and HHH put on an entertaining match that sees appearances by the Rock, Shane O'Mac and Chyna.
  
  
• Being At the Top - HHH talks about the honor of being chosen to be WWE Champion and how many matches he's had against Stone Cold.
  
  
• No Holds Barred WWE Championship Match - No Mercy October 17, 1999 [Triple H vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin] [26m 33s] - This was a good match, but if you want to see some great HHH matches against Austin, you should pick up Stone Cold's recent collection.
  
  
• McMahon - Helmsley Era [1:53:09-1:56:12] - Hunter talks about the genesis of his feud against Vince (which, by the way, was Chyna's idea). He also discusses the honor he felt at Mick choosing him as his opponent for his "retirement" match and how nervous he was shouldering the responsibilty of putting on a good match for Mick.
  
  
• Career vs. WWE Title Hell In A Cell Match - No Way Out February 27, 2000 [Triple H vs. Cactus Jack] [31m 53s] - Any time you get Mick together with a steel cage and a 2X4 wrapped with barbed wire, you have the ingredients for a good match. During this match, from what I gathered listening to JR, Mick wrestled HHH for a shot at WrestleMania, as well as the WWF Championship. There were a lot of good spots during this match, but for some reason, the piledriver on the announce table made me cringe the most.
  
  
• Injury & Return - Triple H briefly talks about his time wrestling with Austin as the Two-Man Power Trip, which resulted in him tearing his quad during a tag match against Jericho and Benoit.
  
  
• Royal Rumble January 20, 2002 [30-Man Royal Rumble Match] [26m 36s] - Immediately after returning from his quad injury, Hunter takes part in the 2002 Royal Rumble, entering at number 22 (which is, coincidentally, where this chapter starts).

Disc Two [2h 30s] :

• the Return Of Shawn - HHH talks winning the Royal Rumble and reconciling with Shawn after their falling out.
  
  
• 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match For the World Heavyweight Championship - Armageddon December 15, 2002 [Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H] [44m 20s] - One of Triple H's favorite matches, this one starts out as a "Street Fight", then turns into a steel cage match and finally ends as a ladder match. Oh yeah, it's also pretty damn entertaining.
  
  
• the Rise Of Batista - HHH talks about Evolution and its purpose was in the WWE. He also points out that, after Batista defeated him at WrestleMania, he put him over for two straight months afterwards.
  
  
• Hell In A Cell Match For the World Heavyweight Championship - Vengeance June 26, 2005 [Batista vs. Triple H] [34m 29s] - From my review of the Vengeance PPV: "For all the flack that HHH gets for being "Mr. Stephanie McMahon" and hogging up almost all the airtime on every single Raw, I gotta say - he does give it his all in pay-per-view matches. Multiple foreign objects are introduced, and blood is spilled in this entertaining match that is significant since it sets up a lengthy absence for HHH."
  
  
• Wrestling My Idol - Triple H talks about taking some time off to let his neck heal a bit before coming back and entering a feud with his idol, Ric Flair.
  
  
• Last Man Standing Match - Survivor Series November 27, 2005 [Ric Flair vs. Triple H] [32m 48s] - From my review of the Survivor Series PPV: "After I got over the initial shock that this match was so early on the card, I enjoyed watching Flair do what he does best - bleed. Unfortunately, it's nowhere near as good as their "Hell In A Cell" PPV match at the this year's Taboo Tuesday PPV."
  
  
• the Next Generation - HHH shares his thoughts on John Cena and Edge.
  
  
• Triple Threat Match For the WWE Championship - Backlash April 30, 2006 [John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Edge] [25m 57s] - From my review of the Backlash PPV: "Hate to say it, but I enjoyed this match. Well, "enjoyed" might be too strong an adjective, but I didn't skip it and I wasn't watching the clock on my DVD player while they were wrestling. I'm not sure if I said this before, but the only person that bleeds better than Hunter is Flair. That's a complement, in case you were wondering. Oh, and what's up with Cena's submission move? Camel Clutch? Ok. Angle lock? Got it. STFU? Exactly what part of the body does the STFU put enough pressure on to make one submit? Or is it just the way Cena oversells it? Whatever."
  
  
• What's Left To Accomplish? - Well, it's not retiring, that's for sure.

Extras: The following extras are included:

• Hog Pen Match - In Your House December 17, 1995 [Henry O. Godwinn vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley] [14m 32s] - Guest refereed by Hillbilly Jim, this was a pretty funny match, which culminates with...well, just look at the screencap...

  HHH...facing some of his toughest opponents in a handicap match

  
  
  
• First Professional Match - Burlington, VT November 1, 1992 [Terra Ryzing vs. Flying Tony Roy] (With Commentary by JR & Triple H) [13m 33s] - This was, for me, the most enjoyable match on the set. Not because the wrestling was superb (it wasn't) or the sound and picture were of the highest quality (it isn't). No, this was highly enjoyable because of the commentary by Triple H and JR. During the entire 13 minute match, they banter back and forth, with JR getting specifics out of Mr. Ryzing as they watch the match. It's a shame more of these WWE collections don't have an alternate track like this.

Video: With the exception of his first professional match, Triple H - the King Of Kings' picture was lives up to the WWE's usual standards. Sure, there is some slight pixelization due to pyro and whatnot, but that's to be expected. And with the exception of the interview footage (shot in 1.85:1 letterbox ration), it's presented in the normal WWE full frame 1.33:1 ratio.

Audio: I had no issues with the Dolby Digital 5.1 track.

Conclusion: Putting aside whatever gripes you may have with Triple H - he's "Mr. Stephanie McMahon" and uses it solely to his advantage, for a time there, Monday Night RAW should've been called "the Triple H Show" or that he seems to refuse to put over new talent, etc - the fact of the matter is, he gives everything he has when he's in the ring. From his "slobberknockers" with Flair, Foley and HBK to his ability to make a wrestler like Cena look good, it's clear that he cares about the industry and his place in it. If you have a problem with that, move along. For his fans, this is a no brainer - Triple H: the King Of Kings - There Can Be Only One is a Highly Recommended collection.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE CLOVERFIELD FROM IMDB

Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives. Written by Davi Silva

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE CLOVERFIELD FROM DVDTALK

The emperor has no clothes. Or better yet, the monster has perfect focus?

It's difficult to review "Cloverfield" without at least mentioning the buzz-guzzling hype machine producer J.J. Abrams kicked off with the arrival of the teaser trailer last summer; a cryptic piece of footage that sent the tails of geeks and bloggers everywhere wagging with gale force velocity. It was a tantalizing glimpse of forthcoming havoc. However, now having viewed the entire film, perhaps a peep was all that was needed. Just a preview to get the blood flowing. Basically a 70-minute YouTube video, "Cloverfield" has all the head-rattling jolt and dramatic verisimilitude of a prank phone call.

Assuming the POV of a video camera employed to capture the farewell party for lovelorn Rob (Michael Stahl-David), the night is turned into a living hell when a Godzilla-like creature starts to tear up Manhattan, leaving the city a wide-awake nightmare of decimating army attacks, brutal monster stompage, and assorted 9/11esque references of destruction. With camera in tow, a small group of partygoers scour the city for Rob's spurned ex-girlfriend, finding little hope as the creature's rampage blocks all exits.

"Cloverfield" is an ambitious film, endeavoring to resuscitate the panic of seeing a building-sized creature annihilate a city after decades of bad monster movies have reduced such sights to giggles. Its heart is in the right "Blair Witch" place, but the execution is all wrong (not to mention a little late, coming after doppelganger "The Mist"), reducing the scares to puzzled yawns.

Director Matt Reeves is armed only with a "single" DV camera to cover the action, and while I applaud "Cloverfield" for trying to find ways to widen the scope of such a limited viewpoint, the routes taken are strangely ineffective; it fumbles the wallop of citywide alarm and tarnishes the "reality" this film is so desperate to abuse. The picture's concept is that the audience is watching a video of the monster attack found after the mayhem, but instead of facing that stark viewpoint head on with punishing cinema verite cartwheeling, "Cloverfield" uses painfully obvious editing tricks, employs peculiar time jumps, and introduces the ludicrous idea that the tape in the camera is somehow screwy, which allows for cringe-worthy backstory flashbacks to Rob and his woman in happier times already committed to the cassette. Now there's some serious storytelling desperation at work.

Three kids hire a low-budget bodyguard to protect them from the playground bully.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE DRILLBIT TAYLOR FROM DVDTALK

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when considering that the best moments within this Owen Wilson comedy are the times when Owen Wilson is nowhere near it. A throwaway experience, "Drillbit Taylor" is undeniably funny, with an aim toward more obscure wells of comedy, but rarely does the star of the show make himself worth the hefty price of admission.

Ryan (Troy Gentile), Wade (Nate Hartley), and Emmit (David Dorfman) are three high school freshmen hoping to skip the cycles of bullying that ruined their junior high years. Upon arrival on the first day, the boys are singled out by Filkins (Alex Frost) and Ronnie (Josh Peck), and immediately become objects of torment. To lessen their load, the boys chip in to hire Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), a homeless man who worms his way into the revenge fantasies of the kids. Now a team of sorts, Drillbit tries to teach the boys lessons of self-defense while deciding if he should remain their friend and pubescent confident or steal everything from their family homes.

It's not that Owen Wilson is a rusted anchor on the momentum of "Drillbit Taylor," but his energy seems to be lacking a certain spark for this enterprise. Co-written by Seth Rogan and co-produced by Judd Apatow, the picture is lost somewhere between being a sharp, insider comedy that's typical terrain for the two aforementioned golden guys and a pedestrian mass-audience babysitter for parents looking to pawn off their pre-teens for a Saturday afternoon. Wilson's uninspired performance is indicative of the tiresome story, which moves beyond laughs at the midway point to address Drillbit's moral crisis between conning the boys and rising up as their true crooked-nose sensei.

Ah, who needs that crud? Just bring the laughs.

Thankfully, "Drillbit" overcomes the sleepy scripting in a hurry, and a majority of the film is a pleasant diversion, sprinkled with some saucy one-liners, hilarious movie homages ("My Bodyguard," "Cape Fear"), and generous fight-club slapstick. The real punch of the film lies in the performances of Gentile, Hartley, and Dorfman, who live up to Apatow's pleasing mandate to depict teenagers as the frail, unnerved creatures they are. The kids are the stars of the show in "Drillbit," showing more comedic range than Wilson, confidently taking over the film during their moments of schoolyard alarm and, for Hartley, humorous depictions of beanpole heroism ("I have reach!").

"Drillbit Taylor" is uneven, and with a little more judicious editing, it could've become a much bolder, considerably more interesting revenge comedy. What's here is a passable good time, with peaks of unexpectedly geeky, inventive jokes. However, the valleys are flooded with abysmal, derivative screenwriting, and it's quite an effort to forgive the filmmakers for even attempting to install a heart in what should rightfully be a ruthless comedy. Bring an extra dose of patience with you, and "Drillbit Taylor" can be quite enjoyable.

With a Rashomon narrative style, the attempted assassination of the president is told from five different perspectives.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE VANTAGE POINT FROM DVDTALK

Neal Moritz is a film producer specializing in high-octane cinema that bends logic, punishes the eyes, and deafens those who sit close to the screen. The calloused hand behind "The Fast and the Furious" franchise, "Stealth," "Torque," and "XXX" now endeavors to take his ADD to the political playing field, shepherding "Vantage Point;" a perfectly goofy thriller that take great pains to pace itself like a bat out of hell. On the day of a crucial terrorism summit in Spain, the President of the United States (William Hurt) is being shuttled to a plaza, guarded by Secret Service agents Taylor (Matthew Fox) and jittery Barnes (Dennis Quaid). Arriving amidst a horde of protestors captured on a cable news network overseen by director Rex (Sigourney Weaver), the President is lead to a stage for an important speech opportunity. In the crowd are Howard (Forest Whitaker), an American tourist with an HD camcorder, Spanish cop Eduardo Noriega, and suspicious attendee Suarez (Said Taghmaoui). When a terrorist attack occurs, it's up to Barnes to piece together the different media and witness viewpoints to catch the bad guys and rescue the President. If you've come to "Vantage Point" looking for a sensitive opinion on the devastation of global terrorism and potential media culpability, than perhaps another, more thoughtful film might better serve those needs. "Vantage" is a straightforward rocket ride; a thriller that contains about as much sociopolitical depth as a crate of Red Bull and a dog-eared copy of Newsweek. At its best, "Vantage" is non-stop entertainment, delivering plenty of bang for the buck. This kind of relentless pacing is always admirable, and director Pete Travis is aware that stopping for a lungful of air would then lead to such irritants as logic and comprehension, and those are two elements "Vantage" recoils from with great horror. This tale is told from several viewpoints, traditionally (and perhaps incorrectly) described as "Rashomon" style, but let's not sully the golden name of Kurosawa when discussing this picture. The gimmick here is that "Vantage" rolls through the same 10-15 minutes of plot before "rewinding" and starting all over again with a different character, slowly lacing the perspectives until the final reel, where the film goes haywire with bullet sprays and chase sequences. It's not as tiring as it sounds; Travis does a commendable job keeping identical pieces of story fresh and usable, though the clunky script by Barry Levy tarnishes the excitement by forcing in unreal amounts of backstory for each role. Do we really care that Howard is having domestic troubles while he waits around for the President to show? It's not a piece of information that affects the finale of the movie, and the script is filled with similar silly stretches of characters explaining their every motive in the precious few minutes of film they have to work with.

I wouldn't describe "Vantage" as a horrible feature, but things sour considerably once film starts to answer its own questions. Travis can't help himself, and begins to treat the audience like complete idiots by instructing the antagonists to smirk Dr. Evil style to the camera and thickly underline the double-crosses as they play out. It's not long before the whole enterprise belly flops into absurdity (if it wasn't there already), topped off with vile, nauseating Bayesque car-chase camerawork and a distillation of good vs. evil that would not feel out of place in a "Popeye" cartoon. It's truly eye-rolling.

Certainly "Vantage Point" is juicy mainstream entertainment not concerned with political nuance, just armrest-gripping thrills. It's a marginally successful attempt to flare up the senses through shocking repetition, but this is Moritz after all, so if you must go, leave your brain at home and sneak in a cocktail to help wash down the nonsense.
