How to Choose an Action Packed DVD

For many families, their worst arguments happen during movie night. They set off for the video rental place and, after a few minutes of looking around, they each come back with a stack of different movies that each person wants to watch. Of course, budgets and time are not something that most people have a lot of extra wiggle room in these days, so it is highly likely that an argument will erupt before everyone sits down in front of the television. This isn't always the case of different people having fundamentally different tastes. Sometimes it is because there are just too many movies to choose from. How, for example, does one pick an action/adventure DVD when there are several different types of action/adventure DVDs to choose from?

Cars that Go Fast

This is a type of action/adventure DVD that involves cars going really really fast. These cars are usually very expensive sports cars that are driven by men with large muscles and larger egos while wearing very tight clothing (to show off those muscles of course). Sometimes, the movie is more about the cars going fast than it is about the plot (though, honestly, how many action/adventure DVDs have complicated plots). Some of the better car chase action/adventure DVDs include the Fast and the Furious (the first one), Days of Thunder and Redline

Lots of Explosions

This is a type of action/adventure DVD in which, basically, lots of stuff blows up and the characters are forced to avoid getting themselves blown up as they run from one stressful situation to another, or try to escape the situation that caused so many explosions to happen in the first place. Good examples of this type of action/adventure movie include The Rock, Speed and Independence Day.

Special Effects Heavy

More often than not, special effects heavy action/adventure DVDs rely on humor to keep people interested in the movie. These are the movies in which things happen quickly and rely more on special effects than actual physics to make situations seem like they could actually happen. Some must-sees in this type of action/adventure DVD include the Matrix (the first one is phenomenal, the other two can be skipped), Transformers, and just about any movie involving superheroes.

The Macho Movie

This type of action adventure DVD centers on a single hero, usually male (or Angelina Jolie) who spends most of the movie running, jumping, climbing and, often, shooting a variety of firearms. Often this person is hunting someone or being hunted himself and has to outsmart most of the other characters in the movie to get his (or Angelina Jolie's) way. Good examples of this include: James Bond, Rambo, the Bourne movies or almost anything starring Angelina Jolie.

The great thing about action adventure DVDs is that there are so many different types to choose from. Movie renters can choose serious movies, funny movies or even movies that have no plot but a heck of a lot of explosions.

James Bond DVD Set?

There is an image of a James Bond prototype DVD set that has been circulating the web... here is a link to it...

http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/james-bond.html

If anyone has any further info, (i.e. is this for real? will it be available in the U.S.?) anything would be appreciated.

Also... here is a gift set that seems to be available only in the UK...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FI9OUY/026-3984231-5667649?v=glance&n=283926

Is there any chance this might be available to US folks? And also... if MGM and Sony screw us Americans out of a nifty box set... will the UK DVDs play on region 1 (American) DVD players? (If I'm not mistaken UK DVDs are region 2...)

Looks pretty awesome. I'm sorry I don't really know other than what you posted.

You are right. Unless you have a burner to decrypt a DVD, UK DVDs will probably not play in US.

Goldfinger (James Bond)

$13.46

With Goldfinger, the James Bond series took a turn away from relatively straightforward spy thrillers and toward campy gadgetry, extravagant sets, and kitschy jokes. Bond (Sean Connery) has to prevent a notorious gold smuggler, appropriately named Goldfinger (Gert FrÃ¶be), from robbing Fort Knox. Goldfinger is surrounded by evil henchmen such as the sexy female pilot Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) and Oddjob (Harold Sakata), who kills with his steel-rimmed bowler hats. In order to stop Goldfinger, Bond has to survive several perilous situations, including a huge, deadly laser. Goldfinger is one of the most popular films in the James Bond series, and it set the tone not only for the rest of the series but also for most of the action/adventure films of the late '60s and early '70s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide laser beam, Oddjob's razor-sharp bowler hat, and Bond's modified Aston Martin car, the film is quite possibly the most memorable Bond outing, and would be famously parodied decades later in the AUSTIN POWERS series, particularly GOLDMEMBER.

Dr. No (James Bond)

$13.46

Terence Young directed this first of a long line of screen adventures with Ian Fleming's unflappable British Secret Service Agent 007 in a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek style that set the tone for the rest of the popular series. Sean Connery sets the standard by which all future takers must measure themselves as the insouciant and devil-may-care James Bond. The story concerns Bond being sent to Jamaica to investigate the murders of a British agent and his secretary. During his investigation, he comes into contact with the evil and unscrupulous Chinese scientist Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) who, living on an island called Crab Key, is hard at work in a nuclear laboratory. Dr. No's scheme is to divert rockets being fired from Cape Canaveral off their charted course and to blackmail the United States to get their rocket launches restored to normal. Helping Bond is Ursula Andress (mostly undressed in a bikini throughout most of the film), as well as bad gals like Zena Marshall, who almost leads Bond to his death in her bedroom, and Eunice Gayson, a Bond pickup in a London gambling house who proves herself a greater adversary than even James Bond can handle. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide moments of all time. With a striking lack of gadgets, DR. NO is a heartier mystery than subsequent films in the series, providing for some excellent adventures in which Bond must rely on his own clever spy skills to get out of sticky situations.
