Movie Review: JCVC

Category : Blu-Ray Reviews

JCVD

Rating: ★★★★½ 

Directed By: Mabrouk El Mechri

Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme

Plot Synopsis:

Between his tax problems and his legal battle with his wife for the custody of his daughter, these are hard times for the action movie star who finds that even Steven Seagal has pinched a role from him! In JCVD, Jean-Claude Van Damme returns to the country of his birth to seek the peace and tranquility he can no longer enjoy in the United States.

Review:

Can a movie change your perception of an aging actor? Bruce Campbell gave us fans an homage movie with My Name Is Bruce.  Stallone brought back Rambo and Rocky Balboa.  Mickey Rourke turned in a heart felt and amazing performance with The Wrestler.  Who’s next? Schwartzenegger? Seagal? Nope.  It’s Jean-Claude Van Damme.  And he’s turned in the performance of a lifetime with JCVD.

nofx-coaster NOFX: Coaster


It’s hard to believe NOFX has been around for 25 years.  NOFX has been delivering consistently good irreverent punk rock over 11 full length albums and a pile of EPs and 7″ singles.

Coaster shows us that they are still relevant today as they were 25 years ago.  This could be their best album yet, and from what I’ve heard could end up being my favorite NOFX album.

From Absolutepunk:

Breezy, lighter and simple, Coaster will give those who’ve never listened a solid base for what to expect as they learn to find the art & pure entertainment/joy in any NOFX record. It might not change the course of music today, but for a band who isn’t U2 or Metallica to remain this vital and successful after nearly 30 years of making records? The real joke seems to be on all those who still have yet to appreciate 25 years of dedication, honesty & consistency.
