Vantage Point (Single Disc Widescreen) new! | | | Starring: Forest Whitaker Matthew Fox Director: Pete Travis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/1/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 3 |  | Vantage Point - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/20/2008 7:32 PM | |
When you hear that a film has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years (since 2006, apparently), certain reactionary red flags go off in your head. Of course, the makers of the new political thriller, Vantage Point, could argue that it was the subject matter, not sloppy filmmaking or underdeveloped characters, that required some temporal displacement. After all, the narrative revolves around the attempted assassination of the U.S. President at an anti-terrorism summit in Spain. The argued novelty of writer Barry Levy's script and director Pete Travis' approach is the Rashomon-styled multiple perspective of the participants. We view this event from every possible point of view except a logical -- or entertaining -- one. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Serenity (Collector's Edition) | | | Starring: Gina Torres Nathan Fillion Director: Joss Whedon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/21/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 5 | | 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 | |
