 | | 4. Dreamgirls (HD) | | | Starring: Jamie Foxx Beyonce Knowles Director: Bill Condon | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 5/1/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | 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 | |

Beck | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | | Star Trek: Season One - DVD Review By: David Bezanson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/17/2009 5:36 PM | |
Just like religion and the U.S. Constitution, science fiction has remained popular while losing much of its meaning. Sci fi has never been bigger than it is today, but unlike the fifties -- when even the lamest creature features carried "messages" about nuclear anxiety or the nobility of space exploration -- today's sci-fi movies and TV series don't have much to say. At best, they are action/drama series with intergalactic settings. The hugely successful Star Trek franchise has been part of that transition. read the full review | |

 | | 27. Across the Universe | | | Starring: Evan Rachel Wood Jim Sturgess Director: Julie Taymor | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/16/2007 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Across the Universe - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/25/2008 8:25 PM | |
Julie Taymor's Across the Universe is a musical that tells its story through a couple dozen Beatles songs and in service of this ambition, it is necessary to forgive a certain degree of yearning nostalgia. The wealth of references and in-jokes -- spare lyrics turning up in dialogue, a rooftop concert, unexpected appearances of Joe Cocker -- may seem cornball or literal, and they sometimes are, but the movie's brand of Beatlemania is unabashedly fannish, too, and understandable in its way. There are plenty of musical acts whose music and lyrics brought to life would not enchant me; don't wake me for the inevitable Light My Fire or Brass in Pocket. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Zodiac (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Chloë Sevigny Jake Gyllenhaal Director: David Fincher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/27/2009 | | Zodiac - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 7/29/2007 9:30 AM | | Fincher doesn't infuse the movie with the visual tricks that fans of Se7en, Fight Club, and Panic Room might expect. Instead everything is played straight with the story, acting, and few moments of suspense intended to carry the day. The scenes where Zodiac meets up with his victims are chilling to watch and turn up the suspense ratchet, but the long wait in between, mostly discussions between the various combinations of cops and reporters, dilutes their impact. read the full review | |
