 | | 7. Dark City | | | Starring: Kiefer Sutherland Rufus Sewell Director: Alex Proyas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 |  | Dark City (Director's Cut) - DVD Review By: Dan Schneider - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/21/2009 5:02 PM | | Australian filmmaker Alex Proyas’s 1998 film Dark City has been compared to many prior science fiction films, from Metropolis to Blade Runner, but, simply put, it’s better than those films. The comparison to Blade Runner, especially, is inapt, because that film is all style and little substance -- a claim made of Dark City, but, in truth, the film is mostly substance, with style about the edges. Yet, the style is so memorable that viewers and critics have had a hard time realizing it is a film that is original fiction, and not based upon a comic strip, as the urban legend goes. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Underdog coming soon! | | | Starring: James Belushi Alex Neuberger Director: Frederik Du Chau | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2009 | | Underdog - DVD Review By: Jarad I. Wilk - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/31/2007 3:53 PM | | True fans of the Underdog cartoon - meaning people old enough to remember Woodstock (not the bird in the Peanuts cartoons) - will absolutely detest this movie. Why' Pretty much because it's not the cartoon and won't speak to adults the same way it will speak to children. This is a children-friendly movie, with a simple story-line that only a complete idiot would fail to understand, and it rings Disney from beginning to end. read the full review | |

 | | 27. Knowing | | | Starring: Chandler Canterbury Nicolas Cage Director: Alex Proyas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/10/2010 | | Knowing - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In the list of filmmakers packed with wasted potential, Alex Proyas has to be near the top. While Dark City sparkled with a kind of surreal sci-fi magic, his other efforts -- including the gloppy Will Smith epic I, Robot -- have felt strained and unrewarding. So when you see his name attached to the lasted Nicolas Cage effort (said actor himself a perfect example of the law of continued diminishing returns), one fears a flop coming on. But as luck would have it, Knowing is actually very good. It proves that Proyas is perhaps one mainstream mega-hit away from finally fulfilling his so far unrealized possibilities.

 | | 29. Naked Brothers Band | | | Starring: Alex Wolff Joshua Kaye | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/6/2008 | | The Naked Brothers Band Movie - DVD By: Ann Hagman Cardinal - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/2/2007 2:44 PM | | Spinal Tap goes to grammar school. New to DVD this week is Nickelodeon’s The Naked Brothers Band Movie, a mini-mock-rockumentary directed by Polly Draper. Nickelodeon is on all the time in my house and I enjoy some of the shows as much as my ten-year-old son Carlos, but as I had only had cursory glances at the newest offering, The Naked Brothers Band show, I really wasn’t convinced that the movie could reach beyond its tween demographic. read the full review | |

The question most on my mind pre-I, Robot was can any futuristic post-Minority Report sci-fi thriller really stack-up to Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece? If this film is any indication, then the answer is definitely no. While it may not be completely fair to compare the two, there’s no denying that Report clearly set the standard for films with future-minded worlds. If nothing else, Report should have motivated Robot to be a much better film. Robot is inspired by ideas found in Issac Asimov’s anthology of the same name, though screenwriters Jeff Vintar and Akiva Goldsman don’t follow any one specific novel verbatim. read the full review | |
