Try as they may, Fox could not keep this outrageous movie out of our hands.  Idiocracy, the latest irreverant comedy from the maker of Office Space and Beavis and Butthead, has finally been released on DVD.  While never reaching the silver screen thanks to politics between Judge and the studios, Idiocracy has made a splash onto the small screen in this hilarious DVD packed with delete...

If ever there were a DVD review to take to heart, this would be it.  If ever there were a movie to avoid, this would be it.  Street Fighter, based on the 1992 video arcade fighting game Street Fighter 2 and its sequels, is one of the worst movies ever.  Despite a star-studded cast including Jean-Claude Van Damme and the late great Raul Julia, Street Fighter's transition to th...
