 | | 27. Curious Case Of Benjamin Button | | | Starring: Brad Pitt Cate Blanchett Director: David Fincher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/24/2009 5:36 PM | | Every great filmmaker is allowed one bad film. For David Fincher, his first was his worst. An intelligent director, Fincher cut his teeth on television commercials and music videos before making his feature debut in 1992 with a forgettable and regrettable installment in the Alien franchise. It was all uphill from there. Fincher's next five films arguably are modern classics, each impressively different from its immediate predecessor. Gen X fanboys idolize him for the basement-dwelling aggressions of Fight Club. The director brought flash -- and a needed backbone -- to pulp thrillers like The Game and Panic Room. And cineastes found plenty to appreciate in the meticulous musings of Fincher's cold-case police procedural, Zodiac. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Zodiac (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Chloë Sevigny Jake Gyllenhaal Director: David Fincher | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/13/2009 | | Zodiac - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Aaron Peck - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/29/2009 12:31 PM | | As The Curious Case of Bejamin Button continues to do well at the box office, and with its recent Oscar nominations, it seems fitting that David Fincher’s film Zodiac would get a special Blu-ray release like this. Based on the true story of the unsolved Zodiac murders, Zodiac takes a different approach to the serial killer genre. Instead of focusing on the gruesome murders, Fincher instead focuses on the people involved. The film covers two decades, and delves into the lives and minds of the people involved with investigating the case. read the full review | |

 | | 41. Dreamgirls (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Beyonce Knowles Eddie Murphy Director: Bill Condon | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 5/1/2007 | | Dreamgirls - DVD By: TV and Film Guy - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/30/2007 7:34 AM | | Even so, the movie does provide enough shimmer, enough glitz, and enough good music (on stage, not off) that it is unquestionably fun to sit down and watch. With strong performances by Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, Danny Glover, Jamie Foxx, and others, there is little doubt as to why it was nominated for so many acting awards. I must state though, as has been stated elsewhere, that Jennifer Hudson’s role was not really a supporting one as much as a lead. read the full review | |

 | | 44. Secret Life of Bees new! | | | Starring: Jennifer Hudson Queen Latifah Director: Gina Prince-Bythewood | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/20/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 2 | | The Secret Life of Bees - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/23/2009 7:46 PM | |
Caucasians, apparently, have no soul. Or heart. Or common sense. According to the movies, whenever the majority lacks a moment of personal clarity, they seek solace, advice, and sage-like wisdom from the groups they marginalized for centuries. As a result, some manner of karmic comeuppance is achieved. The latest example of this Bagger Vance-ing of inferred race relations is The Secret Life of Bees. Set in the percolating days of the Civil Rights Movement, this weepy feel-good sampling of you-go-girl saccharine has some real value. But it can't avoid the sugared-sap cliches that have helped to craft this particular motion picture subgenre. read the full review | |
