What's New? A DVD Review of: Eagle Eye

The Dude on the Right always wondered if a helicopter scene in "Eagle Eye" showed St. James, a church in Chicago where he used to sometimes go to for mass on Sundays, as well as a view of Keating Hall, the "sports center" for the Illinois Institute of Technology where The Dude used to do can-openers off of the high-dive board, at the college where he also started doing reviews, but that's not important right now.  What is important right now is if he thought the DVD of "Eagle Eye" was any good, and pretty much The Dude on the Right thought it held up as well on his plasma as it did at the movie theater.  He was disappointed that the alternate ending version on the DVD wasn't the realistic version The Dude was looking for, he did like the "making of" features, and always loves a gag-reel, and maybe the commentary feature was cool, but The Dude rarely, and didn't, watch the movie with the commentary floating around in the background.  He does feel, though, if you want an action movie reminiscent of movies like "I, Robot", "The Italian Job", and "War Games," but with the effects of 2008, the DVD of "Eagle Eye" will let you enjoy your time at home, and then wonder if your cell phone is watching you.  Happy viewing!
