 | | 3. Do the Right Thing (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Danny Aiello Spike Lee Director: Spike Lee | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/30/2009 |  | Do the Right Thing - 20th Anniversary Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/29/2009 10:47 AM | | Visceral, challenging, immediate, and uncomfortable, Do the Right Thing hasn’t lost any of its bite over the last 20 years. Often considered Spike Lee’s masterwork — I’d say it’s definitely in the top three — it will likely endure better than any of his other films. The racial questions the film provokes are still relevant now even if the circumstances surrounding most issues of race aren’t quite as inflamed as in the film. Lee himself certainly thinks the questions still need to be asked. Do the Right Thing works because despite the over-the-top nature of many of the events (even this is debatable), it’s not purely a message movie. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Pride and Prejudice (Mini Series) (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Colin Firth Director: Simon Langton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/25/2003 | User Rating: 4.4 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Pride and Prejudice (1995) - DVD Review By: David Bezanson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/3/2009 5:36 PM | |
Most film adaptations of classic books are inferior to the books they are based on. This is partly because the written word allows more nuance than the camera, but also because great books don't always have enough plotting or action to make great movies, and film adaptations often overcompensate by rewriting the book in a quest to make it more cinematic. The most obvious recent example (speaking of quests) is The Lord of the Rings: Peter Jackson omitted key scenes, changed others, and generally jacked up Tolkien's fanatically-loved bestseller for no good reason. read the full review | |

 | | 14. Madea Goes To Jail new! | | | Starring: Derek Luke Keshia Knight Pulliam Director: Tyler Perry | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 | | Madea Goes to Jail - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/5/2009 5:39 PM | |
For playwright and filmmaker Tyler Perry, the character of Mabel "Madea" Simmons has always been his entertainment trump card, his anarchic ace in the hole, so to speak. The loud-mouthed, gun-toting, pot-smoking grandma with a wealth of attitude and a penchant for pop culture cross-references has always been his audience window, his way for even the most jaded member of his revival like crowd to connect to his "Go with God" morality tales. Over the last few years, however, Perry (who plays the bossy battleaxe in full blown comic drag) has tried to wean his fan base off of Madea. She was absent from his last film (The Family that Preys) and had only a minor cameo in Meet the Browns. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Reader | | | Starring: Kate Winslet Ralph Fiennes Director: Stephen Daldry | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/14/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Reader - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/3/2009 5:36 PM | |
Reader reunites Daldry with his The Hours screenwriter, David Hare, and the two collaborate on another aloof, literary period picture. The action transitions between 1995 and 1958, when 15-year-old Michael Berg (David Kross) first comes under the spell of Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet), the stern but attentive woman who paid him a bit of kindness after the boy was felled by Scarlet Fever. Their kinky relationship is fueled by carnal and intellectual curiosity. read the full review | |
