 | | 1. Moulin Rouge (Special Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Ewan McGregor Nicole Kidman Director: Baz Luhrmann | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/24/2005 | User Rating: 4.8 |  | Moulin Rouge - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/31/2008 3:31 PM | |
As good as the film is, the Moulin Rouge DVD is better, a lavish, two-disc affair replete with extras. Luhrmann appears on two commentary tracks, and (much like The Matrix) a "follow the green fairy" feature takes you to mini-making-of bits in context with the movie. And if all that's not enough, just pop in the second disc, for inside looks at early script drafts (amazing!), deleted scenes (inspiring!), and just about anything else you could want to see -- including the performance of "Lady Marmalade" at the MTV Movie Awards. Outstanding disc. read the full review | |

 | | 4. Fur | | | Starring: Nicole Kidman Robert Downey Director: Steven Shainberg | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/8/2007 |  | Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus - DVD Review By: Daniel Solomon - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/12/2007 12:36 PM | | All the yammering that Fur does about opening up to our true selves and discovering the wonders of the bizarre reminds me of the guy at the art gallery who isn't there for the free booze. He finds the worst looking paintings and talks about them as though they will change the fabric of the universe. Then he mistakenly points to a fire alarm and calls it a "masterwork." I'm pretty sure Shainberg or novelist Bosworth were once like that, and the lifestyle inspired this narrative experiment. This movie is definitely art, both in idea and execution. But from where I'm sitting, it ain't nuthin' special. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Golden Compass (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Nicole Kidman Director: Chris Weitz | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 4/29/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Golden Compass - Blu-ray review By: J.D. McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/7/2008 1:01 PM | | The Golden Compass is an entertaining film, but mainly because it looks good, boasts great acting, and is so ridiculously short that nobody can ever legitimately call it boring. In the end, it's a film that can only be described as disappointing. It's one of those movies you walk out of saying, "Wow, wasn't the girl who played Lyra great!" or, "Those visuals were awesome!" - but then the next day, you've already forgotten what it was actually about. read the full review | |
