 | | 4. Falling Down | | | Starring: Michael Douglas Director: Joel Schumacher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/11/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Falling Down - DVD Review By: Jason McKiernan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/26/2009 8:39 PM | |
Falling Down offers an interesting concept that is handled with the grace of a psycho wielding a baseball bat. The material has potential for greatness, but it is treated with an absolute minimum of subtlety, almost as if the filmmakers are daring us not to roll our eyes. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and to be fair, the hammer-it-home style is The Schumacher Way, but this is supposed to be a serious film about socio-emotional anger, not Batman and Robin. Michael Douglas headlines the film, playing a character that allows him to use his excellent shouting voice in almost every scene. read the full review | |

Nick Cassavetes remains an interesting case study. After years spent toiling as an actor in forgettable, masochistic, basic-cable fare like Sins of the Night or the third Delta Force movie -- you know, the one with Mike Norris, not Chuck Norris -- the tattooed New York native with the prestigious bloodline is now carving a niche behind the camera as a male filmmaker who's interested in female-targeted melodramas. His 1996 directorial debut, Unhook the Stars, encouraged two strong actresses (his mother, Gena Rowlands, and an underrated Marisa Tomei) to make the most of an underwhelming character piece. read the full review | |

 | | 24. 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 | |

 | | 44. Full House-Complete 6th Season | | | Starring: Ashley Olsen Candace Cameron | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/7/2007 | | User Rating: 5 | | Full House - The Complete Sixth Season - DVD By: Damian Penny - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/17/2007 3:26 PM | | It is what it is: a hokey, child-friendly sitcom from the makers of Family Matters and The Hogan Family. According to Barry Williams's book Growing Up Brady, Sherwood Schwarz was upset with CBS's decision to air The Bradys on Fridays at 8:00PM against Full House, anchor of ABC's successful "TGIF" lineup of family-friendly sitcoms. "Full House is what we were," he told network executives, to no avail. read the full review | |
