12 O'Clock High - Vol. 1 And 2 DVD

Advantages: CKY
Disadvantages: ...terrible editting

...As much as I love CKY I must confess this was a huge let down. After watching CKY2K and Haggard, I had such high hopes for this. People kept telling me it was god awful, I just wish I'd listened.. The DVD contains CKY vol1 and CKY documentary, which is the only saving grace to such a dire product. What you get when you buy this product is a poorly cut and chopped version of Vol 1 almost as if Bam was riding the wave of publicity from his Tony Hawk 3 inclusion and realised he could flog anything with CKY labelled on the front.

In Vol 1. we see that the charcter played by Uma Thurman has been wronged (to put it mildly) and is merely exacting her perceived revenge for the loss of her child and nearly her life but we know little of the depths of the charcaters. In Vol 2. we get more in depth information relating to the characters in the movie, and we get the cataclysmic ending that just the movie justice. Vol 1 was the jammy sponge for the film and Vol 2 is most definitely the icing and decorations. In both movies we have excellent acting, scripting and direction (as we have come to expect from...
