 | | 6. Payback (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Mel Gibson Director: Brian Helgeland | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 4/10/2007 |  | Payback - Straight Up: the Director's Cut - DVD By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 4/4/2007 11:28 PM | | The original advertising campaign for Payback was "Get Ready to Root For the Bad Guy," and with good reason. None of the characters in Brian Helgeland's adaptation of Donald Westlake's novel The Hunter are good guys. Even the film's protagonist, Porter (Mel Gibson) is rough around the edges. Actually, that's putting things lightly. The thug isn't above beating the crap out of women, let alone smashing faces and taking on a crime syndicate read the full review | |

 | | 7. 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 | |
