 | | 1. Bank Job (Widescreen) new! | | | Starring: Jason Statham Director: Roger Donaldson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/15/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 5 |  | The Bank Job - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/4/2008 7:34 PM | |
Based on some unspeakable, super classified bank robbery that took place in 1971 London, the investigation of which yielded no recovered money nor any arrests, Roger Donaldson's The Bank Job throttles its engines and tosses in just enough criminal bottom-dwellers to keep the viewers' minds away from the fact that it's still just another heist flick with a cockney accent and a taste for pints.
Names changed (get this) to protect the guilty, the whole mess breaks out when political revolutionary Michael X (Peter De Jersey) snaps some shots of Princess Margaret getting double teamed by two young men on a secluded island. read the full review | |

 | | 6. Lost (Complete Third Season) | | | Starring: Dominic Monaghan Evangeline Lilly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/2/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 6 |  | 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 | |

 | | 7. Vantage Point (Single Disc Widescreen) new! | | | Starring: Forest Whitaker Matthew Fox Director: Pete Travis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/1/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 3 |  | 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 | |

 | | 11. No Country For Old Men (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Javier Bardem Josh Brolin Director: Joel Coen Ethan Coen | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 3/11/2008 |  | No Country For Old Men - DVD Review By: Scott Gwin - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 3/10/2008 9:48 PM | | No Country For Old Men, based on the Cormac McCarthy novel and the latest collaboration by the Coen brothers, is a messy film that doesn't shy away from the nasty, bitter subject matter that it undertakes. You witness the first murder, a vicious and heinous event, in the first four minutes. The second arrives within the first five. The title of the movie explains the premise, though a better description for the movie might be "no movie for weak stomach". read the full review | |
