 | | Across the Universe new! | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 4 |  | Across the Universe - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/25/2008 8:25 PM | |
Julie Taymor's Across the Universe is a musical that tells its story through a couple dozen Beatles songs and in service of this ambition, it is necessary to forgive a certain degree of yearning nostalgia. The wealth of references and in-jokes -- spare lyrics turning up in dialogue, a rooftop concert, unexpected appearances of Joe Cocker -- may seem cornball or literal, and they sometimes are, but the movie's brand of Beatlemania is unabashedly fannish, too, and understandable in its way. There are plenty of musical acts whose music and lyrics brought to life would not enchant me; don't wake me for the inevitable Light My Fire or Brass in Pocket. read the full review | |

 | | Top Gun (2-Disc Widescreen Special Edition-Dts) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | | Top Gun - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/18/2008 5:45 PM | |
Anyone fondly remembering Top Gun as a prototypical action-packed Jerry Bruckheimer 'nad-fest probably hasn't seen it in awhile. Newly released as a mega-deluxe DVD, it's time to remember what Top Gun really is: From "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" to "Take My Breath Away," it's mushy love story first, fighter-pilots-in-training movie second. Ironically, the early 1990s would bring to light the fact that carousing was what naval pilots seemed to do best: The 1986 Tailhook scandal occured during the same year Top Gun was released.But in its day, Top Gun was nothing less than a pop culture phenomenon. Despite being nearly 20 years old, it's still #80 on the list of all-time U.S. box office champs -- ten spots ahead of The Matrix. read the full review | |

 | | Bourne Identity (HD) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | | User Rating: 5 | | The Bourne Identity - DVD Review By: David Levine - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/13/2007 8:07 PM | |
Last year, Christopher Nolan took memory loss to a new level with his masterful thriller Memento, in which the hero tattoos notes on his body to help him cope with his condition. This year, the amnesiac champion of The Bourne Identity uses brains and brawn as a means of sorting out his memory loss. Doug Liman directs Identity with the same degree of creativity as he demonstrated with Swingers and Go, despite some reportedly epic studio and script squabbles. This time, however, he works on a much grander scale. read the full review | |

 | | Once coming soon! | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Once - DVD Review By: Katey Rich - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/15/2007 1:22 PM | | The tiny-budget Irish musical Once became a surprise hit over the summer, grossing $9 million and making stars out of its main actors, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. A romance that clocks in at 83 minutes, it's a story so simple that its main characters don't even have names; they are referred to in the credits as "The Guy" and "The Girl." Still, Once features charm and talent to spare, and with nine wonderful original songs, a killer soundtrack to boot. read the full review | |
