 | | 9. Cloverfield new! | | | Starring: Michael Stahl-David Mike Vogel Director: Matt Reeves | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/22/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 3 |  | Cloverfield - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/21/2008 7:31 PM | |
We should have seen this coming. Team Cloverfield dropped more than enough hints suggesting they knew what they were doing, from the inspired viral marketing campaign to the seeds of a deeper mythology planted on message boards. But with hype meters peaking, cautiously optimistic fanboys willing to entertain the notion that a good movie could be released in January sharpened swords for a potential backlash. With apologies to Public Enemy, believe the hype. Cloverfield director Matt Reeves has created an abnormality, a visceral monster movie that doesn't overly concern itself with its actual monster. The filmmaker certainly doesn't go out of his way to show his beast. Not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't. read the full review | |

 | | 16. Serenity (Widescreen) new! | | | Starring: Gina Torres Nathan Fillion Director: Joss Whedon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/6/2008 | User Rating: 3 | | Video Reviews Available: 15 |  | Serenity - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/10/2007 9:26 PM | |
Somehow, in the wake of Lucas CGI evisceration of his own work and overblown space operas like The Chronicles of Riddick, somebody still knows how to put together an outer-space romp that trades just as heavily on quips and character as it does on conflict and explosions. All the better, theres barely a movie star in sight. The film in question is Serenity, the by-product of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Joss Whedons sci-fi series Firefly. Somehow, Whedon convinced Universal to pony up about $45 million to make and show Serenity to multiplex audiences, 95 percent of whom will have never seen the original series, which lasted on Fox for only 11 episodes back in 2002. read the full review | |

 | | 17. Clockwork Orange-Special Edition (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Malcolm McDowell Director: Stanley Kubrick | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 10/23/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | A Clockwork Orange: Two-Disc Special Edition - DVD Review By: Felix Vasquez Jr. - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/20/2007 3:54 AM | | Stanley Kubrick set forth a zeitgeist upon which all future gang warfare films would be based on. Which is surprising considering A Clockwork Orange is not about gang warfare at all. It's a science fiction thriller about a predator of humanity who gets a taste of his own medicine a hundred fold once he is rehabilitated into a docile animal of society. Alex DeLarge, almost like Scarface, has become a considerable icon for the neo-sixties chic society of pop culture that has embraced his image of a derby, cane, and accentuated lashes. read the full review | |
