The year is 1985. The Cold War rages on. While serving his fifth consecutive term in the Oval Office, President Richard Nixon contemplates nuclear assault against an aggressive Soviet Union. Elsewhere, an egomaniacal villain unleashes a mysterious threat that promises to decimate several of the world's major cities. Help, meanwhile, is not on the way. The masked superheroes who used to protect our crumbling society are in exile, banned by Congress from practicing what's now believed to be vigilante justice. And our nation's top weapon -- a sky-blue, radioactive superbeing nicknamed Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) -- has fled to Mars following a fight with his longtime girlfriend. read the full review | |

 | | 2. Watchmen (Blu-Ray + Digital Copy) | | | Starring: Billy Crudup Jackie Earle Haley Director: Zack Snyder | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 7/21/2009 | | Watchmen - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Robert M. Barga - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/20/2009 5:10 PM | | It is 1985, America won that war in Vietnam, and Nixon has been elected to his third term. The city of New York is repugnant, with crime, prostitution, and drugs everywhere. In a high-rise in the city of lights, an old man is tossed out of his penthouse. He plummets to the ground, accepts his fate, and dies. Somebody, somewhere, is killing off superheroes. Watchmen weaves an intricate tale of woe, love, war, passion, and humanity. The movie opens with the death of Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who in a previous life was the masked man known as The Comedian. After his former colleague and one of the few still-active heroes, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), hears of the death, he heads over to investigate. Looking around Blake’s room, Rorschach is forced to conclude that somebody came after Blake because he was a hero, not for some other reason. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Trust the Man | | | Starring: Billy Crudup Julianne Moore Director: Bart Freundlich | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/10/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Trust the Man - DVD By: Anne Gilbert - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/26/2007 9:37 PM | |
Something has made Bart Freundlich step away from torrid family melodrama, and thank goodness for it. The writer-director's Trust the Man is a grown-up and intelligent version of a romantic comedy, and for all that it is fluffy and simple entertainment, it's also very good. Julianne Moore, who has kept her talent for comedy a secret, plays Rebecca, a successful (if neurotic) actress who spends much of her time spurning advances from her bored, sex-addicted stay-at-home husband, Tom (David Duchovny). read the full review | |
