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 film’s 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.

 | | 4. Bucket List new! | | | Starring: Jack Nicholson Morgan Freeman Director: Rob Reiner | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Bucket List - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/30/2008 4:31 PM | |
There will likely be people out there who will like The Bucket List. They will like its easy-to-follow premise, the hollow and overplayed jokes that occasionally come rumbling along, and the AARP-approved folksiness. And they'll really like Jack Nicholson, mugging for the camera as though terrified people will forget that he's still that same devilish old scamp he's been for longer than most moviegoers have been alive. This is not to say that the reason The Bucket List is a terrible film is because there are so many people out there predisposed to liking it. read the full review | |

 | | 5. Drag Me To Hell (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Alison Lohman Director: Sam Raimi | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 10/13/2009 | | Drag Me to Hell - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 10/11/2009 4:45 PM | | Drag Me to Hell was a film I was really looking forward to. Ever since I first learned of the production, back when Ellen Page was set to star, this was a movie that was high on my radar. Why? Well, it marked director Sam Raimi's return to the horror genre. Fans have been waiting for this ever since 1992's Army of Darkness, which was the last film Raimi made that was even close to horror. In the 1980s Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson were masters of the horror genre, each of them having a number of cult hits under his belt. Then their fates shifted, Hollywood noticed their talents, and they both became heavy hitters on the blockbuster market with their work on the Spider-man and Lord of the Rings films, respectively. read the full review | |

Animal films are critical landmines. Step wrong, opinion-wise, and readers will accuse you of being everything from heartless and insensitive to PETA's public enemy number one. Clearly, Old Yeller and other four-footed tearjerkers have made canines the noblest of our beloved domesticated friends. After topping the bestseller's list with his autobiographical memoir Marley and Me, journalist John Grogan is seeing his tale of the world's worst pooch finally make it to the big screen -- and it's time to get out the tar and feathers. Instead of being uplifting and heartwarming, this excruciating effort is 90 minutes of mediocrity followed by 10 minutes of the most manipulative, mean-spirited pap ever put into a movie made for families. read the full review | |

 | | 18. Death At a Funeral | | | Starring: Matthew MacFadyen Rupert Graves Director: Frank Oz | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Death at a Funeral - DVD Review By: David Thomas - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/15/2008 5:27 PM | |
Death at a Funeral sees Oz returning quite comfortably to comedy without all the trappings of an A-list cast. It sees him returning to ensemble comedy for the first time since The Muppets Take Manhattan. And while Matthew MacFayden's Daniel may not be Kermit the Frog (although they both end up herding goofy supporting characters), Death at a Funeral is no less satisfying for its trouble – though I don't remember Fozzy Bear ever wandering around naked and tripping on a rooftop.

 | | 31. Saw 5 (Unrated Widescreen) | | | Starring: Costas Mandylor Tobin Bell Director: David Hackl | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/8/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Saw V - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/9/2009 4:44 PM | |
At this point in the Saw series, reviews really don't matter. Frankly, this is one of the few fright franchises where audiences don't care about character development, directorial flair, or narrative invention. Instead, they want more Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, more illogical puzzle kills, and a reverse referencing that makes unimportant characters major players in later installments. To that extent, Saw V is definitely no different. Unfortunately, whatever made the first four films tolerable has been whisked away by unimaginative writing and even more pedestrian direction. read the full review | |

For all the talk of Stranger Than Fiction's clever Kaufmanisms, the most honest and sincere part of the film is about as clever as fireworks on the 4th of July. Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) sits at a small table in a local bakery and is coaxed into eating a freshly baked cookie with a glass of milk for dipping. There's a simplicity to the scene that speaks directly to the emotional core of the film, and speaks even more of Ferrell's talents as an actor. read the full review | |
