 | | 3. A Scanner Darkly (HD) | | | Starring: Keanu Reeves Rory Cochrane Director: Richard Linklater | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 4/10/2007 |  | A Scanner Darkly - DVD By: Anne Gilbert - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 12/8/2006 5:54 PM | |
Linklater returns to the same technique once again (and for the last time, from what he has said, due to rampant production difficulties) for a much more literal acid trip. Based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name, A Scanner Darkly is a feature-length PSA on the evils of drugs and the potentially-as-damaging efforts to ferret them out of society. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Fountain (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Rachel Weisz Hugh Jackman Director: Darren Aronofsky | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 5/15/2007 |  | The Fountain - DVD By: Daniel J. Stasiewski - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/14/2007 1:36 PM | | The film is one that spans a millennium. From the story of a Spanish conquistador (Hugh Jackman) sent to the Mayan territories in search for the Tree of Life to a narrative involving a man (Jackman again) traveling to a nebula in search of the Mayan underworld, the films ambitious scale is unbelievable. Yet the romance at the center of it all, a contemporary love story about a research scientist (once again, Jackman) trying to cure cancer to save his dying wife (Rachel Weisz), grounds the film. The combination results in revelations and heartbreaking truths about mankind.

 | | 13. Children of Men (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Clive Owen Julianne Moore Director: Alfonso Cuaron | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 3/27/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Children of Men - DVD By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/26/2007 7:18 PM | | The best of 2006 arrives on DVD. It is time to see what you missed. Children of Men topped my best of 2006 list, and I am happy to report that it has successfully made the translation to the small screen with its impact intact. Alfonso Cuaron's film thrusts you into a dangerous and brutal world, yet brings hope for the future. This vision of the future is bleak and grim and there is a distinct feeling of hopelessness. Cuarón delivers a daring future world that takes you on a journey through the despair to the dawn of a new hope. read the full review | |

 | | 16. Heroes-Season 1 (HD) | | | Starring: Adrian Pasdar Eric Roberts | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Heroes - Season 1 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2007 8:53 PM | | What creator Tim Kring has done with the series shows that he recognizes that TV is a very different medium than film. Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |
