 | | 9. Transformers-Complete First Season 25th Anniversary Edition new! | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 |  | Transformers: The Complete First Season (25th Anniversary Edition) - DVD Review By: The Masked Movie Snobs - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/29/2009 8:15 AM | | Where previous DVD releases left something to be desired (remastered picture, but art missing, characters with the wrong colors, bad audio, and other subtle changes), this collection restores the original broadcast masters, complete with commercial bumpers and next episode previews. While this occasionally leads to some “soft” animation, as the original masters were not of the same quality as the remastered ones, Shout! Factory has color corrected these masters and blended them with the restored masters to present Transformers in a way not seen since these episodes were first broadcast. In addition, the sound is superb, as new stereo masters have been created from the original audio. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Dr.Who-Complete 4th Series | | | Starring: Catherine Tate David Tennant | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/18/2008 | | Dr. Who: The Complete 4th Series - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/21/2008 10:06 PM | | Doctor Who is a show about the travels of a mysterious time traveler known only as the Doctor. He moves about in his space/time vehicle (known as TARDIS) exploring, righting wrongs, fighting evil, and getting in and out of trouble in his own unique way. He is currently on his tenth incarnation. The Doctor has the ability to regenerate when critically injured. He’s done this nine times since his first appearance back in 1963, making Doctor Who the longest running sci-fi series of all time. read the full review | |

 | | 13. Dukes of Hazzard-Complete 7th Season | | | Starring: Catherine Bach Tom Wopat | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/5/2006 | | The Dukes of Hazzard - The Complete Seventh Season - DVD By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/11/2007 12:27 PM | | Here it is, the one all you Dukes fans have been waiting for -- the final season is here. Actually, I am surprised that it lasted seven years. I mean, I loved the show as a kid and in syndication, but it is kind of silly, and suffers from cookie cutter-style plotting. Still, Warner Bros. has done a nice job of delivering the final 17 episodes on six disks. The set is a little slim on the extras, but the episodes are rendered nicely. The season starts with one of the best episodes of the run, "Happy Birthday, General Lee." This episode flashes back eight years and recounts just how the 1969 Dodge Charger came to be in the possession of Dukes. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Knowing coming soon! | | | Starring: Chandler Canterbury Nicolas Cage Director: Alex Proyas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/7/2009 | | Knowing - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In the list of filmmakers packed with wasted potential, Alex Proyas has to be near the top. While Dark City sparkled with a kind of surreal sci-fi magic, his other efforts -- including the gloppy Will Smith epic I, Robot -- have felt strained and unrewarding. So when you see his name attached to the lasted Nicolas Cage effort (said actor himself a perfect example of the law of continued diminishing returns), one fears a flop coming on. But as luck would have it, Knowing is actually very good. It proves that Proyas is perhaps one mainstream mega-hit away from finally fulfilling his so far unrealized possibilities.

 | | 18. Transformers 2007 (HD) | | | Starring: Rachel Taylor Shia LaBeouf Director: Michael Bay | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 10/16/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Transformers - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/5/2007 5:03 PM | |
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 | |

 | | 20. Burn Notice-Season 2 new! | | | Starring: Bruce Campbell Gabrielle Anwar | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 | | Burn Notice, Season Two - DVD Review By: Fitz - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/22/2009 9:04 AM | | Imagine if you will a television series with the dry wit of House, the improvised gadgetry of MacGyver, and the spy games of the Bourne Identity. Then you might have an idea of what Burn Notice is like before you watch it. I have to admit when season one started airing on the USA Network, I avoided it, thinking it would be formulaic and boring. But I caught myself watching when season two began airing last summer. And then it was too late for me. I'd been ensnared by the witty dialog, clever contraptions, and a great pairing of writers and actors. At that point I went to Hulu and began watching all the episodes I'd missed from season one. And then I made sure I caught all of season two when it aired. I was hooked. read the full review | |

 | | 27. Push coming soon! | | | Starring: Camilla Belle Chris Evans Director: Paul McGuigan | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/7/2009 | | Push - DVD Review By: David Thomas - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In the first minute of Push, a character utters a line that's all but verbatim: "Save the cheerleader; save the world." With the film's unapologetic intent to lift freely from Heroes and its progenitor X-Men firmly established, we're then treated to virtually nothing new in the ordinary-folks-with-extraordinary-abilities subgenre. Opening credit narration explains that there exist people born with special powers they don't necessarily want, and since the '40s an entity called Division has been trying to round them up and turn them into super-soldiers. There are a handful of abilities, and if you have one, you get a catchy name. Watchers can see the future. Pushers can put thoughts in your head. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Valkyrie | | | Starring: Tom Cruise Director: Bryan Singer | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 2 | | Valkyrie (Single-Disc Edition) - DVD Review By: Emily McDonald - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/31/2009 1:27 PM | | Cruise plays good guy, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a German officer plotting to assassinate Hitler. After getting blown up in the opening, Stauffenberg is forced to wear an eye-patch for the rest of the film, a wardrobe necessity that mars Cruise's effortless beauty and no doubt creates an impediment to his acting. Regardless, Cruise shines in his first meaty role in years. He's completely believable as a German Colonel with intense faith in "Sacred Germany". read the full review | |

 | | 34. Batman- The Dark Knight (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Heath Ledger Christian Bale Director: Christopher Nolan | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 12/9/2008 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Dark Knight - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/1/2008 8:06 PM | | It’s hard to fathom a movie with more hype behind it than The Dark Knight. This is the point where the comic book movie has truly come into its own, surpassing the usual boundaries to become something more. It’s impossible to give full credit to anyone here, although names can certainly be tossed out as to who made this more special than it would have been without them. It’s not a perfect film by any stretch, but it’s a great thrill ride. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Street Fighter Extreme Edition (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme Director: Steven E. deSouza | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 2/10/2009 | | Street Fighter - Extreme Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 2/10/2009 10:18 AM | | When it comes to truly terrible movies, you’ve got the ones that fall into the "so bad, it’s good" category and those that are more the "so bad, it’s so, so bad" type. Street Fighter, based, in fact, on the second installment of the video game franchise (like the source material means anything for this kind of thing), falls somewhere between the two, but it’s definitely leaning toward the “no, it really is that bad” side. read the full review | |
