 | | 20. Batman and Robin (2-Disc Special Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger Chris O'Donnell Director: Joel Schumacher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/10/2009 |  | Batman and Robin - DVD Review By: Jeremiah Kipp - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/27/2009 5:25 PM | |
This fourth episode in the Batman series isn’t a movie so much as a theme park. It wasn’t scripted so much as run through the Hollywood script mill, where every line of dialogue is reduced to a catchphrase. “Allow me to break the ice,” says Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), “My name is Freeze. Learn it well. For it’s the chilling sound of your doom.” That groaner is representative of pretty much every line of Batman’s arch-nemesis. He later posits such zingers as, “Tonight, hell freezes over!” and “You’re not sending me to the cooler!” This is not character development so much as paint-by-numbers screenwriting, where you can imagine the gang sitting around wondering what incorrigible pun they’ll come up with next. read the full review | |

Minnesota is a very cold state. Because of that, the populace is susceptible to a number of maladies the come with the chilly climate, one of which is hypothermia, the symptoms of which, thanks to the Rene Zellweger/Harry Connick Jr. romantic comedy, New in Town, a moviegoer can experience in the comfort of a heated movie theater and not have to be troubled to take a biplane to Duluth. When hypothermia is first experienced, you gasp, your skin begins to cool, your muscles tense and shiver, and your blood pressure increases. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Batman Returns (2-Disc Widescreen Special Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Michael Keaton Michelle Pfeiffer Director: Tim Burton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/10/2009 |  | Batman Returns - DVD Review By: James Brundage - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/27/2009 5:25 PM | |
It was the end of an era. The year was 1992 and the movie was Batman Returns. It marked the end of the Batman franchise as a series of good movies. It was, friends, the last great Batman. Gotham was dark and so was the script. Darkly comic, darkly romantic, and darkly dramatic. This tale told of Michael Keaton as Batman in a love/hate relationship with Catwoman, of a freak raised by penguins, of a power hungry industry giant who sought to leave the legacy of a polluting power plant. The Penguin: a man raised by what became his namesake, seeks to discover the identity of his parents, and then exact vengeance upon the world. read the full review | |
