 | | 13. Kung Fu Hustle (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Wah Yuen Qiu Yuen Director: Stephen Chow | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 12/26/2006 |  | Kung Fu Hustle - DVD Review By: Nicholas Schager - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/20/2007 7:28 PM | |
Stephen Chows Shaolin Soccer was a unique genre potpourri in which sports films, The Matrix, and science fiction anims all irreverently coalesced into a frantically funny tale of victorious underdogs. The filmmakers signature cartoon craziness an idiosyncratic mixture of Buster Keatons physical comedy and Dragonball Zs lunatic action likewise permeates Kung Fu Hustle, a similarly ridiculous medley of gangster pictures, musicals, and martial arts films. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Natural | | | Starring: Robert Redford Director: Barry Levinson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/25/2008 |  | The Natural - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/23/2007 10:14 PM | |
The film remains, next to Field of Dreams, one of the world's oddest baseball movies. Roy Hobbs (Redford) is a child wunderkind at the game. After playing some ball at a carnival, he's summarily shot in the chest by a femme fatale (Barbara Hershey), who is clearly working for agents that want him not to be the greatest player of all time, which Hobbs says he aims to be.

 | | 35. Pink Panther (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Steve Martin Director: Shawn Levy | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/25/2007 |  | The Pink Panther (2006) - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/14/2008 4:31 PM | |
My fondest memory of Blake Edwards original Pink Panther series was Peter Sellers muttering I have zee boom as the fuse on the explosive device he possessed burned to its nub. Without fail, the comedians deadpan delivery and subsequent explosion would send my father and me into hysterics. Im glad dads not around to witness this new Panther, Shawn Levys clueless update of the beloved crime comedies. It seems the bomb now rests in our hands. read the full review | |

Labyrinth | | | Starring: David Bowie Jennifer Connelly Director: Jim Henson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/14/2007 |  | Labyrinth - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/8/2007 2:11 AM | | Jim Henson's first non-Muppet feature film, The Dark Crystal, gave us a dark and immersive puppet-only world. Its box-office failure explains the step back from creepiness demonstrated by his next fantasy project, Labyrinth. read the full review | |

 | | 42. Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist coming soon! | | | Starring: Kat Dennings Michael Cera Director: Peter Sollett | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/28/2009 |  | Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - DVD Review By: Eric Meyerson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/23/2009 7:46 PM | |
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is a high school fantasy for indie rock nerds. Imagine if back when you were 17, instead of playing CDs in your bedroom and dreaming about getting up the nerve to talk to a girl or guy, you played bass in a punk band that performed gigs in New York City. After your show, you hopped around the Lower East Side with a cute girl who knew all your favorite I-liked-'em-first bands, and who could get you into any club in town. You and she and your buddies partied until dawn with nary a care for the consequences, the law, or your parents. That's Nick and Norah. Sadly, it's not as much fun as it looks. read the full review | |
