 | | 3. 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 | |

 | | 4. Beverly Hills Chihuahua | | | Starring: Piper Perabo Director: Raja Gosnell | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/3/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Beverly Hills Chihuahua - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/20/2009 5:25 PM | |
Of all the misguided movie genres, the modern family film is the most disingenuous. While it argues that it's merely providing "quality" entertainment to those underserved by Hollywood's obsession with sex and violence, the truth is that most G- to PG-rated fare is far more insidious. Applying a sugar-coated Saturday morning superficiality to what's supposed to pass for pleasantries, the Tinsel Town machine still finds a way to manufacture out all the fun. Disney's disappointing live action comedy Beverly Hills Chihuahua can be accused of a great many faults -- indirect racism, single digit IQ writing, past-tense pop culture awareness -- but one thing it cannot claim is an ability to reach beyond its typical tween demographic. read the full review | |

 | | 14. 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 | |

 | | 41. Pitch Black-Chronicles of Riddick (Full Screen-Dts) | | | Starring: Cole Hauser Vin Diesel Director: David Twohy | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/23/2005 | | Pitch Black - DVD Review By: Max Messier - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/20/2009 5:39 PM | |
Mama, could you leave the hall light on tonight? One thing I love to see in a film is definition of character without the need for a windy, Oscar speech or the death of a loved one that prompts an "emotional release." The only genre that gives you that type of character is the Western. The Western is littered with good men with bad hearts and bad men who struggle for a clean conscience. The words of these men carry a heavy emotional burden and clearly define and expose the true nature of the person. Pitch Black is one of the best films I have seen in a very long time, and it carves its roots from the essence of a Western, providing amazing clarity with a direct narrative prose. read the full review | |
