 | | 2. 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 | |

 | | 3. Transformers 2007 (HD) | | | Starring: Rachel Taylor Shia LaBeouf Director: Michael Bay | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 10/16/2007 | User Rating: 4.8 |  | 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 | |

Superman Returns (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Brandon Routh Director: Bryan Singer | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 11/28/2006 | User Rating: 4 |  | Superman Returns - 2-Disc Special Edition - DVD By: Dan Owen - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/9/2006 7:41 PM | | There's an emotional purity to Superman that no other comic-book property can match (the Jesus Christ allegory isn't an overstatement -- check out the finale), and fans of Superman's legacy will get additional thrills with the numerous in-jokes and references. Above all, Superman Returns swept me up with its performances, effects, engaging story and sense of nostalgia.

 | | 11. Serenity (HD) | | | Starring: Gina Torres Nathan Fillion Director: Joss Whedon | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 8/8/2006 | User Rating: 4.3 |  | Serenity - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/10/2007 9:26 PM | |
Somehow, in the wake of Lucas’ CGI evisceration of his own work and overblown space operas like The Chronicles of Riddick, somebody still knows how to put together an outer-space romp that trades just as heavily on quips and character as it does on conflict and explosions. All the better, there’s barely a movie star in sight. The film in question is Serenity, the by-product of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Joss Whedon’s sci-fi series Firefly. Somehow, Whedon convinced Universal to pony up about $45 million to make and show Serenity to multiplex audiences, 95 percent of whom will have never seen the original series, which lasted on Fox for only 11 episodes back in 2002. read the full review | |

 | | 19. TMNT (HD) | | | Director: Kevin Munroe | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 8/7/2007 |  | TMNT - DVD Review By: Jarad I. Wilk - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/9/2007 7:30 AM | | Director Kevin Munroe has all the ingredients needed to make a successful TMNT adventure - a power-hungry tycoon, ugly bad guys and even uglier monsters, turtles fathered by a Chinese rat in a New York sewer and ninja fights. For me, however, there was something missing from this movie that I, as a kid, always got with the original cartoon series and comic books: Fun. I always remembered having fun and laughing while watching TMNT as a kid. This, however, felt more like I was visiting relatives that I have met before but hadn't seen in 10 years. It was slightly uncomfortable and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to reacquaint myself with them because they were different than I remembered and they smelled kind of funky. Then, of course, they start to fight and everything I was thinking went up in flames, 'cause, heck, it is fun to watch them fight. read the full review | |

 | | 40. 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 | |

 | | 41. Heroes-Season 1 (HD) | | | Starring: Adrian Pasdar Eric Roberts | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Heroes - Season 1 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2007 8:53 PM | | What creator Tim Kring has done with the series shows that he recognizes that TV is a very different medium than film. Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |
