I'm Not There | | | Starring: Christian Bale Cate Blanchett Director: Todd Haynes | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/30/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 4 |  | I'm Not There (Two Disc Collector's Edition) - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/15/2008 2:32 PM | | The musical biopic has been all the rage in recent years, so much so that there has already been a fairly decent parody of the genre, Walk Hard. Writer/director Todd Haynes decided that iconic singer/songwriter Bob Dylan would be less well served by a straightforward linear retelling of his life story. Haynes, instead, puts together a film about Dylan in the style of a Dylan song; poetic, time shifting, ever changing, stream of consciousness... read the full review | |

 | | 10. The Good German | | | Starring: Cate Blanchett George Clooney Director: Steven Soderbergh | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/15/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Good German - DVD By: Alexandra Calamari - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/25/2007 11:47 PM | | The Good German begins promisingly enough in a typical noir style - the inciting death launches the characters into a mystery they can't escape and the shadowy femme fatale constantly undermines the hero. But as the storyline becomes increasingly complicated, it becomes nearly impossible to follow, worsened by the useless narration that switches in perspective from Tully, to Jake to Lena. read the full review | |

 | | 16. Babel (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Brad Pitt Cate Blanchett Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 2/20/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Babel - DVD By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 2/19/2007 11:16 PM | | Babel was advertised as a play on the story from which it derives its name. The idea pushed in advertisements was a barrier of language, causing communication problems for the couple who need medical attention after that run in with the bullet, among others. The idea seemed to be that no matter who we are, there is somewhere in the world we don't fit in because of language. It's an interesting theme and ties in nicely with the film's title. Sadly, it's not what the movie is about at all. read the full review | |

Notes on a Scandal | | | Starring: Cate Blanchett Judi Dench Director: Richard Eyre | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/17/2007 | | Video Reviews Available: 3 | | Notes on a Scandal - DVD By: Edward Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 4/16/2007 10:13 PM | | Dench's Barbara is a perfectly realized character. A lifetime of loneliness (she is the stereotypical cat-lady) has made her so desperate for connection that she doesn't recognize her own obsessive behavior as unusual. That obsession, mixed with loneliness and a genuine dislike for most people, make her dangerous to anyone who makes the mistake of letting her get to close. It's a masterful performance. read the full review | |
