 | | 6. 7th Heaven-8th Season Complete | | | Starring: Catherine Hicks Mackenzie Rosman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/3/2009 |  | 7th Heaven: The Eighth Season - DVD Review By: Jordan Richardson - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/8/2009 10:46 AM | | People watch television for different reasons: some like to be titillated, some like to be amused, some like to be educated, and some like to have an even-tempered, simplistic experience before venturing off to bed with a nice glass of milk. For those in the latter category, 7th Heaven is pure rapture. The show follows the alarmingly huge Camden family as they live, laugh, and love their way through their eventful, oft-complicated lives. The family’s patriarch is the Reverend Eric Camden (Stephen Collins). He is, of course, the senior minister at Glen Oak Community Church. Eric’s wife Annie (Catherine Hicks) helps hold it down on the home front. read the full review | |

 | | 8. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Beverly D'Angelo Chevy Chase Director: Jeremiah Chechik | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/30/2008 | User Rating: 4.5 |  | Christmas Vacation - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/23/2009 5:09 PM | |
Entry #3 in the National Lampoon's Vacation series is the last funny installment of the four movies (plus one made-for-TV movie which starred none of the original cast members). This time out the Griswolds aren't on a road trip -- they're spending a big family Christmas at home, filled with senile grandparents, and of course Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) and his white-trash brood. The usual holiday mishaps occur, from lights that won't go on to a Christmas tree that's too tall, but it's the cruel blackness of life that we see in all Vacation movies that makes the film memorable. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Shortbus | | | Starring: Raphael Barker Director: John Cameron Mitchell | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/13/2007 |  | Shortbus - DVD By: Don Willmott - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/2/2007 6:07 PM | |
John Cameron Mitchell 's thesis in Shortbus harkens back to E.M. Forster's classic exhortation: "Only connect." In Mitchell's world, however, a big part of connection is sexual connection, and a big part of sexual connection is the ability to give and enjoy earth-shattering orgasms. Mitchell's characters are in search of sexual connection, and it's a shocking, hardcore search that brings intensely graphic (and real) sex to mainstream cinema for the first time. To put it another way: Oh. My. God. read the full review | |
