 | | 7. Across the Universe | | | Starring: Evan Rachel Wood Jim Sturgess Director: Julie Taymor | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/23/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 11 |  | 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 | |

 | | 11. Jane Austen Book Club | | | Starring: Maria Bello Kathy Baker Director: Robin Swicord | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/23/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 4 | | The Jane Austen Book Club - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/25/2008 8:25 PM | |
You need neither a deep appreciation for author Jane Austen nor an understanding of her six novels to recognize that The Jane Austen Book Club stinks. A chick-lit-flick, Book Club is poorly directed by Robin Swicord from her own inconsistent adaptation of Karen Jay Fowler's novel about five women (and one coerced man) who use Austen's novels as a means to escape their broken lives. They cover one book a month, and we roll our eyes as their individual problems mirror the quandaries found in Austen's chapters. The ladies in Swicords cast are perfectly capable. read the full review | |

Superbad (Widescreen - Unrated) | | | Starring: Jonah Hill Seth Rogen Director: Greg Mottola | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/23/2008 | User Rating: 4 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Superbad (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition) - DVD Review By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/7/2007 6:26 PM | | From what I've learned from interviews and commentaries, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg were 13 years old when they first started working on the script for Superbad. I certainly don't know how it looked back then, but the story seems to have a certain truth to it, and I am sure many people out there will find it easy to somehow relate to what Evan and Seth are experiencing. read the full review | |

The passionate pursuit of the perfect wave once inspired Bruce Brown to film the quintessential surfing documentary The Endless Summer. A loving ode to the unheralded beach-bum community, Brown's rambling tour of our planet's surfing hot spots took audiences on a permanent vacation when it opened in 1966. Forty years later, the art of mastering tubular waves has inspired Surf's Up, an animated fish-out-of-water story that opens in the summer (great) but feels endless (groan). Using penguins as protagonists (yet again), Surf's Up traces a fictional timeline of surfing accomplishments that places serious emphasis on Big Z (Jeff Bridges). read the full review | |

 | | 19. Stomp the Yard (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Columbus Short Meagan Good Director: Sylvain White | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/23/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 4 | | Stomp the Yard - DVD Review By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/17/2007 7:21 AM | | Stomp the Yard faces the dilemma of simply repeating what we've now seen far too many times in movies such as Save the Last Dance or Honey. It centers on a struggling loner who manages to overcome his dark past and finds the necessary courage to face his fears and achieve his goals. Generally there is nothing wrong with such a story, but if the initial concept is sloppily executed and the plot ends lacking any originality, there's not much left to capture our attention. read the full review | |
