MY TEACHERS WIFE - DVD MovieReleased in 1995 under the title Learning Curves, this derivative comedy is so uninspired that you'll have to stifle a dozen yawns while watching it, and it goes through all the familiar motions with a plot about a high school senior (Jason London) who needs some math tutoring to improve his odds of getting into Harvard. It just so happens that the beautiful babe who tutors him (Tia Carrere of Wayne's World fame and little else) is also the neglected, lovelo! rn wife of his math teacher (Christopher McDonald), and she's willing to give him more than a few math lessons. (Can you say "predictable"? Knew you could!) Tepidly directed with all the subtlety of an anvil to the skull, the movie gets a much-needed boost from its appealing cast (indeed, Carrere shows some actual talent here, leaving the peekaboo nudity to an obvious body double), and North Carolina locations add some relaxing visual charm. And because London's character is an aspiring cartoonist, typically wacky animations by Bill Plympton are used as semiclever linking devices. Still, you'd have to be very forgiving--or an obsessive Tia Carrere fan--to consider watching this lightweight snoozer more than once. --Jeff ShannonAn elaborate heist unites eight strangers in a simultaneous assault on targets all over the city?and explodes in a hailstorm of gunfire and high-speed chases in this powerful action thriller.

Bloody Reunion

  • BLOODY REUNION (DVD MOVIE)
THE ISLE mixes erotica and art in the tradition of classic Asian art house horror films like AUDITION, CURE and Hideo Nakata's THE RING, as well as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and THE EXORCIST, all films full of sex, blood, mutilation, relationship power-plays, nudity and parody.

THE ISLE is a remote fishing ground where people go to forget their deepest problems. It's an unearthly locale crouched in awe-inducing early-morning light. The lodgings are a series of small huts floating on an isolated lake and managed by Hee-Jin, a woman who lives alone without speaking, who sells food, beer, night crawlers, and often her body, to the vacationing fishermen. One day, a mysterious man named Hyun-Shik arrives, and before long, Hee-Jin becomes obsessed with the former police officer...

Haunting, gorgeous, bewitching, sadomasochistic are just a few of the words us! ed to describe THE ISLE, the erotic art house thriller that caused a sensation at the Sundance, Toronto, and Venice Film Festivals. The latest in a series of South Korean hits, this film by maverick director Kim Ki-Duk caused a scandal upon its release in its homeland, and has gone on to become an international success, shocking journalists and audiences alike.(Horror) Originally titled To Sir With Love, Bloody Reunion is Lim Dae-wung’s Korean slasher about a group of young people who reunite with their now wheel-chair bound teacher. The happy gathering turns into a nightmare as old grudges and hidden truths surface and one by one the former classmates vanish in a series of unforgettably gruesome murders.
