Heroes-Season 1 | | | Starring: Adrian Pasdar Ali Larter | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Heroes - Season 1 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2007 8:53 PM | | What creator Tim Kring has done with the series shows that he recognizes that TV is a very different medium than film. Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |

The show will air in 2010, but the network has put out a teaser film-version of the pilot episode. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Troy (2-Disc Widescreen) new! | | | Starring: Brad Pitt Eric Bana Director: Wolfgang Petersen | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Troy - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/7/2007 4:44 PM | |
Troy leaves the talking to its triumvirate of Hollywood royalty – Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, and Peter O’Toole. The dying is left up to the chiseled and marketable studs – Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, and Brad Pitt. Whenever a member of the veteran trio interacts with a member of the other on screen, it creates a mismatch of talent not even a Trojan Horse could overcome.

 | | 11. Greys Anatomy-3rd Season | | | Starring: Chandra Wilson Eric Dane | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2008 | User Rating: 5 |  | Grey's Anatomy - Season 3 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/13/2007 6:55 AM | | When I sat down with the DVD set for Season 3, I did so almost begrudgingly. Had it been seasons 1 or 2, I would've been like a kid on Christmas morning, tearing off the plastic wrapping and promptly removing the first disc in preparation for hours of Grey's goodness. I don't think I'm alone in saying that while the first two seasons of this series were totally addicting, the third season was seriously lacking. Seriously. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Madagascar-Escape 2 Africa (Widescreen) | | | Director: Eric Darnell Tom McGrath | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 |  | Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/23/2009 7:46 PM | |
To a film critic, the mainstream is like a ravenous shark with a defective hypothalamus. As long as Hollywood seeds the entertainment waters with chum, the masses will feed and feed until their dead, lifeless eyes roll back in their head. Examples of this baffling binge and purge are released every year -- inexplicable, unexplainable crowd-pleasers like Wild Hogs, Norbit, and Night at the Museum. Now comes Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the even louder, more obnoxious sequel to Dreamworks' loud, obnoxious CG original. This is a film about more: More already dated pop culture references, more digitally-rendered eye candy, more abject pandering to a seemingly easy-to-satisfy demographic. read the full review | |

Madagascar-Escape 2 Africa (Blu-ray) | | | Director: Eric Darnell Tom McGrath | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 2/6/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Robert M. Barga - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 2/13/2009 12:57 PM | | Why is it that every time you have a blockbuster movie, the studio needs to go and make a sequel? When was the last time a sequel was nearly as good as the first? With the sole exception of Toy Story and Toy Story 2, animated movies have never really created good sequels. Shrek 2 was okay, but the third was terrible. Then look at Disney, with all of their straight-to-DVD spin-offs -- are any of those good? DreamWorks is like every other company in Hollywood; they are trying to milk as much out of the same story elements as possible. Guess what? Just like most other sequels, this one falls flat. read the full review | |

 | | 41. Madagascar (Blu Ray) | | | Starring: Ben Stiller Chris Rock Director: Eric Darnell Tom McGrath | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 9/23/2008 |  | Madagascar - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/24/2008 3:49 PM | | Thanks to a solid stable of voice talent, Madagascar is able to overcome its mundane plotting and generic concept to become a fun, lively animated movie. Dreamworks animation can never be underestimated, even in the face of larger studios like Pixar, and it’s films like Madagascar (and of course Shrek) that have made Dreamworks animation a household name. read the full review | |

 | | 44. The Other Boleyn Girl (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Eric Bana Natalie Portman Director: Justin Chadwick | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/10/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Other Boleyn Girl - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/30/2008 4:31 PM | |
If Shakespeare was writing the screenplay for The Other Boleyn Girl, he might have named it Much Ado About Nothing. In truth, a more fitting title would be Much Ado About Something Done Better Dozens of Times Before. The story of how Anne Boleyn seduced Henry VIII into breaking from Rome (and an affair with her sister, Mary) has been the stuff of several cinematic epics. But from the flawed casting choices (two Americans and an Australian play these important British figureheads) to the questionable historical accuracy here, Other is a Harlequin romance with none of the genre's steam or sizzle. With his Queen unable to bear him a son, Henry VIII (Eric Bana) seeks solace in the beds of local noblewomen. read the full review | |
