 | | 10. Changeling | | | Starring: Angelina Jolie John Malkovich Director: Clint Eastwood | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/11/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Changeling - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/6/2009 5:25 PM | |
Fit snug into the mother superior of self-reflexive roles, Angelina Jolie once again finds herself the eye of the storm in Clint Eastwood's epic melodrama Changeling. Armed with her thick, crimson lips, period duds, and that ever-present cloche, Jolie goes all gooey as Christine Collins, a single mother who finds herself a media fulcrum when she denies that a boy returned to her by the LAPD is Walter, her son who had been kidnapped five months prior. read the full review | |

Doing its best to further erase whatever pleasant memories (guilty or no) people may still have had from the 2001 original, Fast and Furious reunites The Fast and the Furious cast with much ballyhoo, only to kill one of them off in no time flat and leave viewers fairly unconcerned with what happens to the rest of them. Given that this third sequel is intent on treating the events of the origin film as some sort of holy text, this is probably not the effect that the filmmakers were going for. For the record, Rob Cohen's The Fast and the Furious -- which took the name from a 1955 Roger Corman racing flick, and updated the master's exploitation bent with well-deployed studio gloss -- was a perfectly enjoyable piece of work. read the full review | |

 | | 21. Hancock (Unrated Single Disc) | | | Starring: Charlize Theron Jason Bateman Director: Peter Berg | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Hancock - DVD Review By: Brian Chen - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/14/2008 4:31 PM | |
It doesn't happen in many movies, but there's something I like to call the "drop-off point" to describe when a movie turns bad very suddenly. The drop-off point of Hancock occurs at the beginning of the third act, and I can't describe it fully without spoiling the ending, but I will say the movie gets bad precisely when the ghetto superhero Hancock (Will Smith) gets thrown out of a window onto a car. read the full review | |

Nip/Tuck: Season 5, Part 1 new! | | | Starring: Dylan Walsh Julian McMahon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Nip/Tuck - Season Five, Part One - DVD Review By: Mary K. Williams - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/16/2009 2:02 PM | | Part one of Season Five shows our Drs. Troy and McNamara packing up and moving from Miami where they are big fish in a small pond to glossy Los Angeles, where they nearly drown in the Pacific (figuratively speaking, of course). Since LA has nearly as many plastic surgeons as it does wannabe actors, our boys Sean and Christian wait in their new ostentatious offices…and play basketball. read the full review | |

This film centers on Ayers’ relationship with L.A. Times reporter Steve Lopez (Downey). Lopez, always in pursuit of a topic for his next column, one day comes across Ayers playing his violin in a city park. Intrigued, Lopez decides to make Ayers his next subject. What follows in the movie is the ups and down of their tumultuous relationship. Ayers must grapple with the balance, what turns out to be a very thin line, between helping Ayers and exploiting him. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Go (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Sarah Polley Taye Diggs Director: Doug Liman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/31/2004 | User Rating: 4.7 | | Go - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/7/2009 7:48 PM | |
Believe it or not, this is a Christmas movie! And here it is, the middle of April, and there’s nothing else I’d rather see. Let me put it this way: Go is the best movie I’ve seen since Fargo. Doug Liman, the man behind the brilliant Swingers, (which, I realized, came out much too long ago, in 1996), has concocted such a film that I’m almost compelled to pay the whopping $8.50 to see it again. Go is a seamier look at life than Swingers, brilliantly deconstructing Gen X life in latter-day Los Angeles, giving a new perspective on rave culture, drug dealers, the lure of Vegas, and even Amway distributorship. read the full review | |
