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 | |

 | | 30. 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 | |

 | | 42. Guide To Recognizing Your Saints | | | Starring: Robert Downey Director: Dito Montiel | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/4/2007 |  | A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints - Limited Edition - DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/2/2009 11:20 PM | | It’s not surprising that A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is getting a DVD re-release less than two years after the initial release hit shelves. The 2006 Sundance hit (it won Best Ensemble and Best Director) never reached much of an audience, only playing in 60 theaters at its widest release, and its original DVD run probably didn’t do much better. Normally, I wouldn’t look too favorably on a re-release that doesn’t include any additional content, but if this one introduces more people to A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, it’ll be worthwhile. read the full review | |
