Wilk - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/18/2007 9:44 PM | | Fracture allows Hopkins to show why he is so highly regarded as an actor. He plays these ultra-smart psychopathic characters with such ease, it is truly scary to watch. And it's not because he's out chopping people up with saws or medieval torture devices. This is not a horror movie. In this movie, he's a plain man who is extraordinarily smart and has a reason for everything he does, step by step. Every twist and turn is methodical, planned out to perfection. read the full review | |

 | | Lost (Complete Third Season) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | User Rating: 5 |  | Lost: the Complete Third Season - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/17/2007 11:07 PM | | While the addition of the Others' culture and history invigorates Lost with a lot of the same questions-without-answers mentality that made the show so great in the first place, the third season is not without its missteps. Particularly horrid is the show's "mountain lion moment," Paulo and Nikki (Rodrigo Santoro and Kiele Sanchez). read the full review | |

 | | 21 (Single Disc) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | User Rating: 4 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | 21 - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/11/2008 8:40 PM | |
With the ongoing popularity of high stakes poker, greenlighting a film like 21 would appear to be a Tinseltown no-brainer. After all, you've got the true story of how a group of MIT students broke the bank in Vegas by applying their highly trained analytical minds toward counting cards, beating Sin City's blackjack tables in the process. It's a mega-dose of Mensa wish fulfillment. But leave it to Hollywood to fiddle with the facts. Ben Mezrich's non-fiction book entitled Bringing Down the House centered on a group of mostly Asian geniuses grifting casinos for all the cash they could. Somehow, that translated into a cast consisting of Kevin Spacey, Jim Sturgess, and Kate Bosworth. read the full review | |

It's hard to remember the whooshing sighs of disappointment from his fans that greeted John Woo in 1996 when, after so many half-steps and mis-starts, he made his big Hollywood debut with the stolen-nuke thriller Broken Arrow. Having left the Hong Kong business on a high with 1992's psychotic near-parody Hard Boiled, Woo did a Jean-Claude Van Damme flick -- 1993's Hard Target, which was heavily botched by studio interference but still contained some brilliant work -- before deciding to go seriously Hollywood. For Broken Arrow, he toned down his trademark mix of ultra-violent flourishes and teary-eyed humanism to concentrate on doing a by-the-book mid-'90s action flick that was generic in the extreme but raked in the money. read the full review | |

McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/21/2008 11:06 PM | | In his latest film, Sunshine, Boyle channels the energy and wonder of classics like Alien and 2001: A Space Odyssey -- all the while keeping his feet firmly planted in his own highly original science fiction creation. It's a true testament to Boyle as a filmmaker that he's able to capture the same sheer vastness of space and time as Kubrick and Scott without ripping them off, but he accomplishes it flawlessly read the full review | |

Forgive me for treading lightly through this Premonition review, but the last time I tried to discuss the film in detail, Sony reprimanded me. The reason I find this so funny is because the out-of-order thriller consciously jumbles its supernatural narrative in an effort to dodge easy explanations. You're going to want to discuss possible theories with those who've seen it, which is exactly what I planned to do while working the Premonition press junket weeks ago. read the full review | |

 | | Shoot Em Up | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | 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 | |
