 | | 1. Frank Miller's Sin City (Dts) | | | Starring: Mickey Rourke Bruce Willis Director: Frank Miller Robert Rodriguez | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/1/2006 |  | Sin City - DVD Review By: Eric Meyerson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/10/2009 5:36 PM | |
You typically have to maintain low expectations for a comic book movie. For every Spider-Man, you get a bunch of Elektras and Daredevils. So really, what can you expect from one with a huge, B-list cast and three directors? Surprise! Sin City is a mega-violent, highly potent vial of noir crack. And judging from the riotous burst of applause at the end of our screening, one that's destined to be a Matrix-style mass-cult classic. Okay, so Sin City isn't really a comic book movie it's a graphic novel movie. And in spite of the title, the locale isn't the tourist-friendly and brightly-lit Vegas strip but "Basin City," a noir Nowheresville, a mid-century L.A. with snow flurries and dark sewers, enveloped in permanent midnight. read the full review | |

 | | 11. Children of Men (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Clive Owen Julianne Moore Director: Alfonso Cuaron | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 3/27/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Children of Men - DVD By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/26/2007 7:18 PM | | The best of 2006 arrives on DVD. It is time to see what you missed. Children of Men topped my best of 2006 list, and I am happy to report that it has successfully made the translation to the small screen with its impact intact. Alfonso Cuaron's film thrusts you into a dangerous and brutal world, yet brings hope for the future. This vision of the future is bleak and grim and there is a distinct feeling of hopelessness. Cuarón delivers a daring future world that takes you on a journey through the despair to the dawn of a new hope. read the full review | |

 | | 13. Inside Man (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Clive Owen Denzel Washington Director: Spike Lee | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/2/2009 | | Inside Man - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/1/2009 8:19 AM | | Along with my very late-blooming love for the cinema and my gravitation towards genre films, there are some filmmakers whose films I have never seen. One of those filmmakers is Spike Lee. When I saw Inside Man back in 2006 on the big screen I was finally able to say that I had seen a Spike Lee film. To this date, it remains the only one I have seen. I know, I know, that means there are a lot of quality movies that I have yet to see, a fact I hope to one day rectify. In any case, the heist film has arrived on Blu-ray and marks the first time I have seen the film since its big screen bow. read the full review | |

Shoot Em Up | | | Starring: Clive Owen Paul Giamatti Director: Michael Davis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | | Shoot 'Em Up - DVD Review By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2008 7:37 PM | | Given the striking diversity of every of those unique action scenes, it's practically impossible to decide on which battle in the flick is the sharpest and most wicked. Sure, the level of implausibility dramatically rises as the running time nears its end, but every shootout is unique in itself, thus making it a lot harder for any lunatic filmmaker to top Shoot 'Em Up in the near future. read the full review | |
