 | | 11. Darjeeling Limited | | | Starring: Adrien Brody Jason Schwartzman Director: Wes Anderson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/17/2009 |  | The Darjeeling Limited - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 3/3/2008 9:01 PM | | Anderson's style is clearly visible with some of the abrupt camera pans and movements, but it adds even more character to the movie as it allows the camera to explore part of the Indian environment than you might see in a different director's vision, including things like decorative ceilings. The cinematography, including a judicious use of slow motion, definitely helps the movie acquire an "artsy status," although the film remains accessible thanks to its content read the full review | |

 | | 15. Hollywoodland (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Ben Affleck Adrien Brody Director: Alan Coulter | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/27/2009 | | Hollywoodland - DVD By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 2/7/2007 10:46 PM | | Although the film is advertised as an investigation into Reeves' death, the truth is the story is about both Reeves and Simo and the parallels in their lives. Both men find themselves unhappy with their own place in life despite having some success (Simo worked for a detective firm before and had a family; Reeves had "The Adventures of Superman"). The parallels become absolutely fascinating as both stories unfold and the similarities of the steps the men go through become so obvious, despite being in different career paths read the full review | |

 | | 18. King Kong (2-Disc Special Edition) | | | Starring: Jack Black Kyle Chandler Director: Peter Jackson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 | | King Kong (2005) - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/9/2009 4:44 PM | |
After Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy earned a zillion dollars, a slew of Oscars, and a place at the tip top of the Hollywood pyramid, Jackson was able to write his own ticket. As his follow-up project, Jackson chose to remake King Kong, which had industry observers scratching their heads. Historically, sequels and remakes of the original Kong range from bad to unwatchable, and while Jackson certainly knows effects and storytelling, Kong remakes seem to be cursed endeavors. Voodoo or no, they're probably ill-advised. 1933's Kong is one of those movie archetypes that really shouldn't be messed with. read the full review | |
