 | | 1. Fountain (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Rachel Weisz Director: Darren Aronofsky | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/8/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 8 |  | The Fountain - DVD By: Daniel J. Stasiewski - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/14/2007 1:36 PM | | The film is one that spans a millennium. From the story of a Spanish conquistador (Hugh Jackman) sent to the Mayan territories in search for the Tree of Life to a narrative involving a man (Jackman again) traveling to a nebula in search of the Mayan underworld, the films ambitious scale is unbelievable. Yet the romance at the center of it all, a contemporary love story about a research scientist (once again, Jackman) trying to cure cancer to save his dying wife (Rachel Weisz), grounds the film. The combination results in revelations and heartbreaking truths about mankind.

Heroes-Season 1 | | | Starring: Adrian Pasdar Ali Larter | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 3 |  | Heroes - Season 1 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2007 8:53 PM | | What creator Tim Kring has done with the series shows that he recognizes that TV is a very different medium than film. Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |

 | | 3. A Scanner Darkly (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Robert Downey Keanu Reeves Director: Richard Linklater | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 4/10/2007 |  | A Scanner Darkly - DVD By: Anne Gilbert - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 12/8/2006 5:54 PM | |
Linklater returns to the same technique once again (and for the last time, from what he has said, due to rampant production difficulties) for a much more literal acid trip. Based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name, A Scanner Darkly is a feature-length PSA on the evils of drugs and the potentially-as-damaging efforts to ferret them out of society. read the full review | |

Prestige | | | Starring: Christian Bale Hugh Jackman Director: Christopher Nolan | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/10/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 21 |  | The Prestige - DVD By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 2/25/2007 4:54 PM | | It's Batman Vs. Wolverine in the latest puzzler from the mind bending director Christopher
Nolan (Memento). Christian Bale and Michael Caine from Nolan's Batman Begins join X-man Hugh Jackman for a turn of the century Victorian mystery about a pair of obsessed magicians committed to the destruction of one another. Since this is a Christopher Nolan film, the twisted tale is twisted into the most non-linear shape possible, and leads us unconvincingly from the mystery genre into outright and outrageous fantasy. read the full review | |
