Next (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Julianne Moore Nicolas Cage Director: Lee Tamahori | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/6/2008 | User Rating: 2 | | Video Reviews Available: 7 |  | Next - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/26/2007 7:42 PM | | In Next, Nicolas Cage plays a character who can see into the future and adjust what he's doing to change outcomes around. As Cris Johnson says: "Every time you look at [the future] it changes, because you looked at it." It's just a shame that Cage himself doesn't have the ability to avoid some of the bombs of his career. While Next isn't necessarily a career high for Cage, it is entertaining enough to make up for some of his shortcomings - say, to balance out his career for The Wicker Man. read the full review | |

Serenity (Collector's Edition) | | | Starring: Gina Torres Nathan Fillion Director: Joss Whedon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/21/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 5 |  | Serenity - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/10/2007 9:26 PM | |
Somehow, in the wake of Lucas CGI evisceration of his own work and overblown space operas like The Chronicles of Riddick, somebody still knows how to put together an outer-space romp that trades just as heavily on quips and character as it does on conflict and explosions. All the better, theres barely a movie star in sight. The film in question is Serenity, the by-product of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Joss Whedons sci-fi series Firefly. Somehow, Whedon convinced Universal to pony up about $45 million to make and show Serenity to multiplex audiences, 95 percent of whom will have never seen the original series, which lasted on Fox for only 11 episodes back in 2002. read the full review | |

For the first five minutes of Transformers -- a sound-and-fury tornado of effects that could only entertain during summer's dumb-dumb dog days -- you will believe that bombastic blockbuster director Michael Bay was the right choice to helm the project. Peter Cullen, who has voiced heroic robot Optimus Prime since the original Transformers cartoon of 1984, explains the series' legacy as his velvet voice establishes this new movie's driving quest: The search for a hidden cube that is the centerpiece of an age-old war. Geeks will go crazy. read the full review | |
