Jean-Claude Van Damme is back, baby.

*** out of **** Don't you love it when a crummy actor is given one moment of true glory? That moment of glory, for actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, is the film "JCVD". Throughout his career, Van Damme has starred in various generic action films; all of which have been forgettable and ultimately convoluted. It's almost kind of strange how this film doesn't mimic or mock the quality of his other films. No, this film is better than that. It features Van Damme playing a semi-fictitious … more

Kicks Just Keep Gettin' Harder to Find

JCVD is just what all the other reviews claim, it's a tour de force for Jean-Claude Van Damme The Actor. If you're renting this expecting anything at all in the way of action then you are going to be extremely disappointed because apart from the opening scene which turns out to be a scene from a movie he is supposedly filming, there is a total of two kicks, an elbow, and maybe a punch.

As a youngster, my brother and I derived many hours of fun watching Kickboxer, Bloodsport, Street Fighter the Movie and so on. We would extend the fun times by repeating choice lines of dialogue from the movies like "My mama took one" in our best Belgian accents. But whatever happened … more

Giving a Van Damme

"Central to Unit 27. Jean-Claude Van Damme's robbing a post office. I need back-up." Short Attention Span Summary (SASS): 1. Jean- Claude Van Damme's getting no respect 2. It's so bad that even Steven Seagal steals a movie role from him 3. "The Muscles" returns to Brussels where at least everyone knows his name 4. His cash-strapped position leads him to the post office 5. People go postal … more
