 | | 5. Underworld-Evolution (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Kate Beckinsale Director: Len Wiseman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Underworld: Evolution - DVD Review By: Joel Meares - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/3/2009 5:39 AM | |
If current cinema is to be believed, everywhere we humans are not looking, vampires, werewolves, advanced machines, and other nightcrawlers are living in alternative societies. Underworld brought such a society to the fore, shining a torch (and some flattering designer light) on a leather-clad group of vampires embroiled in a feud with an ancient race of werewolves known as Lycans. In Russia just last year, Night Watch took us into the gloaming to witness similar shenanigans. Perhaps fearing that six months is too long between gothic, O-negative drinks, the makers of Underworld have offered us its unnecessary, unanticipated, and unexpectedly OK sequel, Underworld: Evolution. read the full review | |

Resident Evil-Apocalypse (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Milla Jovovich Sienna Guillory Director: Paul Anderson | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/16/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Resident Evil: Apocalypse - DVD Review By: Annette Cardwell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/24/2007 8:31 PM | |
Anyone whos a fan of the Resident Evil series of video games can't help but get a little twinge of excitement seeing the trailer for this second RE film, even if you thought the first Resident Evil was atrocious. Why? This flick has some of your favorite game characters: Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) and the horrific Nemesis monster. Dude!But while I'll admit that I felt that twinge (since I am an old fan of the games), I can't say that this equally lame sequel does anything to prolong that twinge into real enjoyment. Resident Evil: Apocalypse rots as badly as its zombie costars. It has a few cheap violent thrills, but none of the true suspense or chills that you'll crave. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Surf's Up (Widescreen) | | | Director: Chris Buck Ash Brannon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/23/2008 | | Surf's Up - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/28/2007 8:42 PM | |
The passionate pursuit of the perfect wave once inspired Bruce Brown to film the quintessential surfing documentary The Endless Summer. A loving ode to the unheralded beach-bum community, Brown's rambling tour of our planet's surfing hot spots took audiences on a permanent vacation when it opened in 1966. Forty years later, the art of mastering tubular waves has inspired Surf's Up, an animated fish-out-of-water story that opens in the summer (great) but feels endless (groan). Using penguins as protagonists (yet again), Surf's Up traces a fictional timeline of surfing accomplishments that places serious emphasis on Big Z (Jeff Bridges). read the full review | |

Resident Evil Degeneration | | | Director: Makoto Kamiya | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/26/2009 | | Resident Evil - Degeneration - DVD Review By: Fitz - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/18/2008 6:54 AM | | Though this movie follows the traditional Resident Evil plot of showing normal life or survivors, setting the T-virus in motion and releasing the zombies, and then fighting the big baddie at the end, I am shocked and amazed that a totally CGI movie that focuses on human characters actually works and works well. read the full review | |

 | | 20. The Covenant | | | Starring: Toby Hemingway Chace Crawford Director: Renny Harlin | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/22/2008 | User Rating: 4 | | The Covenant By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2007 11:44 AM | | I cannot begin to account how many cringe-worthy moments there are in the film. But if you make a drinking game out of every horrible, embarrassing line of dialogue, you'll be unconscious before the film is halfway over. Here are a few gems: (Begin drinking now)"Harry Potter can kiss my ass!", "That guy's puking sure came at an opportune time!" and the classic (take two shots)"I'm going to make you my We-otch!!" J.S. Cardone really needs a dialogue filter. I hope he got one at Christmas. read the full review | |

 | | 22. The Other Boleyn Girl coming soon! | | | Starring: Eric Bana Natalie Portman Director: Justin Chadwick | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/28/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Other Boleyn Girl - DVD Review By: Lori Kapes - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 6/27/2008 10:45 PM | | The majority of movies based in the Middle Ages are droning or action packed (therefore mostly catering to an audience of the male persuasion). While this is neither droning nor action packed it still hasn't added anything entirely new to the genre. It wishes it could be In Her Shoes/Grey's Anatomy yet it obviously falls short. read the full review | |

 | | 36. Vantage Point (Single Disc Widescreen) coming soon! | | | Starring: Forest Whitaker Matthew Fox Director: Pete Travis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/28/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Vantage Point - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/20/2008 7:32 PM | |
When you hear that a film has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years (since 2006, apparently), certain reactionary red flags go off in your head. Of course, the makers of the new political thriller, Vantage Point, could argue that it was the subject matter, not sloppy filmmaking or underdeveloped characters, that required some temporal displacement. After all, the narrative revolves around the attempted assassination of the U.S. President at an anti-terrorism summit in Spain. The argued novelty of writer Barry Levy's script and director Pete Travis' approach is the Rashomon-styled multiple perspective of the participants. We view this event from every possible point of view except a logical -- or entertaining -- one. read the full review | |

 | | 43. Spiderman 3 (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Tobey Maguire James Franco Director: Sam Raimi | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/24/2008 | | Spider-Man 3: Special Edition - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/1/2007 10:09 PM | | A lot of the story has a "been there, done that" kind of quality. Peter's guilt over Uncle Ben's murder' Check. Harry and Peter in competition for Mary Jane' Check. A basically good person becoming a villain but redeeming himself in the end' Double check. We've seen a lot of this before, and rather than streamlining one good story, Raimi and his co-writers, Ivan Raimi and Alvin Sargent, shoehorn everything into the plot. They never fully form any new characters or take old ones to new areas. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Waltz with Bashir new! | | | Director: Ari Folman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/23/2009 | | Waltz with Bashir - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/11/2009 5:39 AM | |
Despite its blaring phantasmagoria and hallucinatory nostalgia, the central image of Ari Folman's utterly spellbinding Waltz with Bashir is one of brilliant, serene calm. Bathed in street-lamp-yellow glow, three rail-thin soldiers emerge from a starless-black ocean, stark naked, and begin walking onto the shores of West Beirut. Accompanied only by the sustained synths and strings of Max Richter's ominous score, the image reemerges throughout the film, eventually leading to the film's shattering finale. read the full review | |
