 | | Monsters Vs Aliens | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | Monsters vs. Aliens - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/18/2009 5:43 PM | |
It's a title that promises much more than it could ever truly deliver. It plays on B-movie fans' wildest dreams but offers them something much less successful. It comes from Dreamworks, which means it will either be completely faithful to its unusual source material (a la Kung Fu Panda's homage to the films of Asian martial arts experts the Shaw brothers) or rely on the tired, post-Shrek formula of animation artistry meshed with tired pop culture quips. So what, exactly, does the latest CG spectacle Monsters vs. Aliens truly have to offer? Sadly, it's a little bit of moviemaking magic surrounded by loads and loads of scripted stupidity. read the full review | |

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 | |

 | | A Scanner Darkly new! | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | A Scanner Darkly By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/23/2006 7:45 PM | | Drama is exactly what A Scanner Darkly is. Despite a vaguely futuristic setting (seven years in the future really isn't that far, is it') and advertising that sometimes makes the film appear to be an animated Matrix tale, the film bears little resemblance to traditional science fiction (although you have to love the irony that Substance "D" is a red pill, continuing the science fiction idea that you should always question the consequences of swallowing any red pill). read the full review | |
