Tomorrow the big releases coming to DVD are SCARY MOVIE 4, HOOT, and RV. In other words you might as well watch burn victims get their prostates checked. But fear not DVD consumer, there is one movie coming to DVD this week that may not have been in theaters but is still legally considered a feature film. It's THE HARD CORPS, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Vivica A. Fox. It's the story of a former combat vet who is hired to protect a world champion boxer from a murderous rap music mogul. I know, I know, that old story again.I have yet to see THE HARD CORPS and I will be honest that the early word has been mixed. It seems the big complaint is that the action is not brutal enough. That could be a fair complaint because there are far too many direct-to-video films that don't take advantage of the "Anything Goes" rules that should be a given. It has to be better than Van Damme's last opus, SECOND IN COMMAND, because that was plain shit. But I'd still rather watch THE HARD CORPS than have to sit through Robin Williams rip off what Chevy Chase has already done brilliantly over 20 years ago. RV? Sweet Jesus, aside from my parents who on Earth would watch that tripe?
