 | | 16. 300 ( HD DVD & Standard DVD Combo ) | | | Starring: Lena Headey Vincent Regan Director: Zack Snyder | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 7/31/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | 300 - HD DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/1/2007 12:08 AM | | The 300 HD DVD release epitomizes the slogan of the format; this movie is the look and sound of perfect, on top of which I'll add the feel of perfect. The disc doesn't leave me wanting in any way. From the movie itself to behind the scenes material, this release is fully loaded. The fact that it's a combo disc, thereby playable on a standard DVD player as well, is just icing on the cake. For every format there's a release that comes out that truly defines the format. For now 300 is the pinnacle of accomplishment on HD DVD. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Appaloosa new! | | | Starring: Renée Zellweger Viggo Mortensen Director: Ed Harris | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Appaloosa - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/2/2009 4:44 PM | |
Unlike its immediate predecessors, which have retooled (Unforgiven), remade (3:10 To Yuma), revered (Open Range), and re-imagined (The Proposition) the genre, Ed Harris' Appaloosa is simply content being a good Western. It's unapologetic of its formula, unwilling to waver in its characterizations, and unhurried in its pace. It tells a story you've heard before -- more than once -- but it handles its business with rugged aplomb. That ought to be enough. But for some reason, it isn't. read the full review | |

 | | 24. Fast & Furious (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Paul Walker Vin Diesel Director: Justin Lin | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 7/28/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Fast & Furious - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Luigi Bastardo - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/27/2009 8:14 AM | | Back in 2001, people were going nuts over this new movie called The Fast And The Furious. At the time, I managed a video store. Customers and employees alike were ranting and raving about this flick. I wasn’t quite sure what was so significant about it, considering that the filmmakers couldn’t even come up with an original title (Roger Corman used the same title in a movie he producer/wrote in 1955). I figured I would hate it for sure, especially seeing as how I was a very cynical and jaded filmgoer (a condition that hasn’t improved) who hadn’t anything new and noteworthy in the world of cinema for several years. read the full review | |

 | | 29. Angels & Demons new! | | | Starring: Tom Hanks Director: Ron Howard | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/24/2009 | | Angels & Demons (Two-Disc Extended Edition) - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/24/2009 12:26 PM | | Angels & Demons is an adaptation of the best selling Dan Brown novel of the same name and reunites director Ron Howard and actor Tom Hanks for their fourth collaboration. Even though Angels is theatrically a sequel to The Da Vinci Code, the novel was published years before Code, which meant Howard, Hanks, and Brown had to play the film as a sequel rather than a prequel, which created an interesting challenge for all involved. During the testing of the Large Hadron Collider, a small amount of anti-matter is created and separated in three canisters for testing. At the same time the Catholic Church is in the middle of both mourning the passing of the Pope and trying to choose his successor. The secret society known as The Illuminati is trying to disrupt the Vatican’s search for a new pope. read the full review | |

 | | 30. Oceans Thirteen (HD) | | | Starring: Brad Pitt George Clooney Director: Steven Soderbergh | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 11/13/2007 | | User Rating: 5 | | Ocean's Thirteen - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/17/2007 5:48 PM | | If Ocean's Thirteen proves anything it's that revenge is more entertaining than self-preservation. It also proves just how dismal a sequel Ocean's Twelve was, taking the characters away from their home in Vegas and tossing them around the world. The third movie in the franchise sees the troupe return to Vegas, and a return to the antics and banter that made Ocean's Eleven so much fun. Truly, this is the sequel the first film deserved. read the full review | |

 | | 31. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen | | | Starring: Shia LaBeouf Josh Duhamel Director: Michael Bay | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/20/2009 | | Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/9/2009 11:09 PM | |
Eventually Michael Bay will tire of shooting orgasmically erupting explosions foregrounded by actors running in very, very slow motion, the sheen of heroic sweat on their faces and toned arms highlighted by an always-setting sun. He will tire of stringing together images that are less a story than a chain of ideas for dorm-room posters. The day will come when jamming together toilet humor, shattering machinery, and near-pornographic worship of American techno-military might will hold no more interest. Hopefully that day will come before Transformers 3: You Remember When We Said This Wasn't Over, Optimus Prime? Well, We Were Telling the Truth. Anything's possible. Nobody thought that Woody Allen would ever make a movie outside of New York. read the full review | |

One needs a groom to stay in the country, the other needs a bride to keep his job. Their plan is simple enough: a quick marriage followed by a quicker divorce. While visiting the to-be in-laws in Alaska, however, these faux-betrotheds soon find themselves questioning their true feelings and the sincerity of this proposal. read the full review | |

For the first five minutes of Transformers -- a sound-and-fury tornado of effects that could only entertain during summer's dumb-dumb dog days -- you will believe that bombastic blockbuster director Michael Bay was the right choice to helm the project. Peter Cullen, who has voiced heroic robot Optimus Prime since the original Transformers cartoon of 1984, explains the series' legacy as his velvet voice establishes this new movie's driving quest: The search for a hidden cube that is the centerpiece of an age-old war. Geeks will go crazy. read the full review | |
