 | | 4. Shoot Em Up new! | | | Starring: Clive Owen Paul Giamatti Director: Michael Davis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 |  | Shoot 'Em Up - DVD Review By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2008 7:37 PM | | Given the striking diversity of every of those unique action scenes, it's practically impossible to decide on which battle in the flick is the sharpest and most wicked. Sure, the level of implausibility dramatically rises as the running time nears its end, but every shootout is unique in itself, thus making it a lot harder for any lunatic filmmaker to top Shoot 'Em Up in the near future. read the full review | |

 | | 6. Bourne Identity (HD) | | | Starring: Franka Potente Matt Damon Director: Doug Liman | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 7/24/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | The Bourne Identity - DVD Review By: David Levine - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/13/2007 8:07 PM | |
Last year, Christopher Nolan took memory loss to a new level with his masterful thriller Memento, in which the hero tattoos notes on his body to help him cope with his condition. This year, the amnesiac champion of The Bourne Identity uses brains and brawn as a means of sorting out his memory loss. Doug Liman directs Identity with the same degree of creativity as he demonstrated with Swingers and Go, despite some reportedly epic studio and script squabbles. This time, however, he works on a much grander scale. read the full review | |

Animal films are critical landmines. Step wrong, opinion-wise, and readers will accuse you of being everything from heartless and insensitive to PETA's public enemy number one. Clearly, Old Yeller and other four-footed tearjerkers have made canines the noblest of our beloved domesticated friends. After topping the bestseller's list with his autobiographical memoir Marley and Me, journalist John Grogan is seeing his tale of the world's worst pooch finally make it to the big screen -- and it's time to get out the tar and feathers. Instead of being uplifting and heartwarming, this excruciating effort is 90 minutes of mediocrity followed by 10 minutes of the most manipulative, mean-spirited pap ever put into a movie made for families. read the full review | |

 | | 12. Duplicity | | | Starring: Clive Owen Julia Roberts Director: Tony Gilroy | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/3/2010 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Duplicity - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/14/2009 4:48 PM | |
It doesn't take much to make the life of a spy look great. The travel, expense account, sense of danger, all that role-playing -- it's catnip for most people, whose greatest investment in daily skullduggery tends to be making their boss believe they're actually working. In Duplicity, however, writer/director Tony Gilroy ups the ante by reveling in all of the above while throwing in a keen sense of fun and maybe even a dash of honest-to-god romance. It's a dashing and bright entertainment that aims to please without scraping the floor for your approval. In other words, about as different a world from Gilroy's Michael Clayton as could be imagined. read the full review | |

Night At the Museum (Fullscreen) | | | Starring: Owen Wilson Robin Williams Director: Shawn Levy | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/14/2008 |  | Night at the Museum - DVD By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/26/2007 8:35 AM | | Family fantasy of top notch caliber. When I saw Night at the Museum projected on the big screen, I found myself having a good time in spite of myself. I remember walking into the theater and wanting to enjoy it, but also wanting to not enjoy it too much. Why I had that approach I have no idea. Despite those intentions, my defenses were quickly worn down and I found myself sucked into this delightful family fantasy. read the full review | |

Children of Men (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Clive Owen Julianne Moore Director: Alfonso Cuaron | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/9/2008 |  | 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 | |

Inside Man (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Clive Owen Denzel Washington Director: Spike Lee | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/3/2010 |  | Inside Man - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/1/2009 8:19 AM | | Along with my very late-blooming love for the cinema and my gravitation towards genre films, there are some filmmakers whose films I have never seen. One of those filmmakers is Spike Lee. When I saw Inside Man back in 2006 on the big screen I was finally able to say that I had seen a Spike Lee film. To this date, it remains the only one I have seen. I know, I know, that means there are a lot of quality movies that I have yet to see, a fact I hope to one day rectify. In any case, the heist film has arrived on Blu-ray and marks the first time I have seen the film since its big screen bow. read the full review | |
