The Departed (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio Matt Damon Director: Martin Scorsese | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 2/13/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 2 |  | The Departed (Two-Disc Special Edition) - DVD By: Edward Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 2/17/2007 6:55 PM | | The cat and mouse game played by the two leads under the eye of Nicholson and using cell phones as a key plot point is masterful and in Scorsese's assured hands, scenes pop off the screen with tension. He also uses classic rock songs in his trademark manner, impressively setting time, place, or mood. However, his use of "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" a ferocious song by the celtic punk band The Dropkick Murphys during the title card sequence (following an 18 minute prologue) really kicks the movie into high gear and is a brilliant choice. read the full review | |

Shoot Em Up (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Paul Giamatti Clive Owen Director: Michael Davis | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 12/31/2007 |  | 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 | |
