Mortal Kombat Movie Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews The only video game film that stays true to the game........
When watching video game films now like Resident Evil, I feel disappointed knowing that the movie had nothing to do with the game and ends up being a waste in production, but with Mortal Kombat, it's different. It is the only video game film that's actually based on the game that the movie represents! This makes it better to watch for fans who played the game and believe me, if you watch this movie and you are not a fan of the Mortal Kombat series, you will be. Mortal men and women fighting for the fate of mankind in the tournament of MORTAL KOMBAT!!

 Kombat Begins!!!
This is an incredible DvD with both the widescreen and the normal version!!! It has the original trailer and it's exciting to see it over and over again. The sound it's for me the best in quality since the opening just turn you into pieces with the classic "mortal kombat!(tm)" sream!.
If you're into videogames or if you not, you'll love this movie anyways!

Ok, let me start by saying that this movie is one of few martial arts movies that I rever really cared to sit down and watched, its the best video game movie as far as I'm concearned. And to think I actually liked Street Fighter when I first saw it, now when I think back that had to be one of the suckiest video games movies ever made. Don't get me wrong, I like Street Fighter, I have an older brother that was real big into the game, I don't know if he liked the movie, but we both grew up on Street Fighter. So I can't knock in terms of the game, but it can't hold a candle to Mortal Kombat, hell, it can't even hold a match when it comes to this movie. But that's just my opinion. The special effects are great, the fighting is excellent, the storyline is perfect. Every thing you would expect it to be. When it comes to video game movies , this is the cream of the crop. I give this movie 5 stars.

Mortal Kombat DVD
$7.05
Director Martin Campbell (GOLDENEYE) balances a romantic tale, serious political commentary, and beautifully shot scenery from exotic locations in BEYOND BORDERS. Oscar winner Angelina Jolie gives a moving performance inspired by her real-life U.N. work, and has the perfect romantic foil in Clive Owen. Ostensibly a tale of romance triumphing against the odds, this is in fact a multifaceted story that deals with its various topics in a visually arresting style.
BEYOND BORDERS follows the problematic blossoming romance between busy American socialite Sarah Jordan (Jolie), and rogue doctor Nick Callahan (Owen). The two initially meet in 1984 at a charity event in London. Sarah is still flushed with excitement from her recent marriage, but is nevertheless enchanted by Nick's impassioned speech on behalf of starving children in Ethiopia. Sarah decides to help the cause in Africa, meeting Nick there and sparking a romantic connection which is cut short because of family and work commitments. Four years later, Sarah finds herself alone after a torrid divorce. Her work for the United Nations now consumes her thoughts, and when the chance to travel to war-torn Cambodia--and reunite with Nick--arises, it proves ...

| | History Boys DVD (2006) Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled
Mortal Kombat video
$10.19 
THE HISTORY BOYS, a clever look at a British school system's attempts to produce Oxford and Cambridge-worthy graduates, is based on the play of the same title by Alan Bennett. Bennett's play provides an interesting springboard for a film about youth, growing up, education, identity, and the complexities of the student-teacher relationship. Set in Sheffield, England, in the early 1980s, the story follows a class of college-bound high-school boys as they prepare for the rigorous entrance exams. Feeling the boys need grooming beyond what the absurd Mr. Hector (Richard Griffiths) and sarcastic Mrs. Lintott (Frances De La Tour) can offer, the headmaster (Clive Merrison) brings in Mr. Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore) to fill in the gaps. As a finishing school teacher of sorts, it becomes Irwin's job, through innovative history lessons and bold techniques, to turn children into ...

Mortal Kombat review
$15.09
America's quest to put a man on the moon, while both fascinating and inspiring, has been well covered on film, perhaps most notably in FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON and APOLLO 13. Add to that a space program that by the early 2000s ranked near Abscam in terms of public interest, and it's easy to see why the documentary IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON might be a tough sell. Yet this simple, stylish look at the Apollo space program is a quietly powerful rumination on the nature of patriotism, heroism, and humanity.
Director David Sington utilizes a narrator-less structure that intercuts stunning stock footage with insightful commentary from the surviving astronauts who walked on the moon. There are no experts, no voiceovers, and no recreations. It's a style that works quite well, recalling the work of Errol Morris. While the space shots and the behind-the-scenes footage of NASA operations are fascinating, the astronauts--Buzz Aldrin, Dave Scott, and Alan Bean, among them--are a revelation. Variously witty, heartfelt, modest, and humbled when discussing their journeys into space, it's easy to understand why these men were heroes to a generation. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of this film is the way ...
