I tell you what, I sure do love me some blockbuster online. I got a free movie coupon this week and I skipped on over to the local store to check out what was available. I figured, what better time to rent a crappy B-movie than with a free coupon.
As I am a big fan of My Name is Earl, I happened to notice Jamie Pressly on the cover of DOA: Dead or Alive. Being marginally familiar with the video game I assumed there would be some delicious kung-fu action. Then I noticed it was directed by Corey Yuen who did The Transporter. And while The Transporter was a terrible film it had some of the best martial arts I had seen in a long time.
I snatched DOA off the shelf and didn't look back. Perhaps my expectations were very low but I actually really enjoyed it. The movie wasn't half bad, the acting was tolerable, and the fight scenes were REALLY kick-ass. In fact there was so much juicy, hot, kick-boxing, filled goodness, I went ahead and re-watched some of the highlights. My favorite bit being the knock-down drag-out battle between Cristie and Helena in the rain on the beach.
Bottom Line: I give this movie two thumbs, a middle and an index finger way up!
Here's a little taste of what I'm talking about...

Dagromm recommended this movie three weeks ago. Why are you such a douche bag?
You know I don't read his blog anymore.
Something about a grown ass man skipping just don't seem right!
This may be the greatest movie ever...until the epic Fringes, Q, and I filmed over the weekend comes out.
Wait. The hot chick from Earl is in it? I'm all over that.
This movie was good enough that my wife and I have been on the look out for a copy for us to buy. For what it is, it's very well done.
Damn, I love Jaime Presley.
