 | | 22. El Dorado | | | Starring: James Caan Robert Mitchum Director: Howard Hawks | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 |  | El Dorado - DVD Review By: Paul Brenner - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/16/2009 11:40 PM | |
Howard Hawks's penultimate film is a canny reshuffling of his own Rio Bravo as he performs a loose and extended mediation on his favorite themes of loyalty and professionalism. John Wayne plays Cole Thornton, a gun for hire claiming a job with a land-grabbing cattle baron (Ed Asner). Cole accepts the job until he finds out that his old pal J.P. Harrah (Robert Mitchum, in one of his finest late career performances) is the town sheriff. Cole switches sides but not before being shot by a put-upon rancher's daughter, Joey (Michele Carey), who thinks Cole is still working for Jason. With the bullet lodged near his spine, Cole rejects a risky operation and leaves town looking for work. read the full review | |

 | | 24. Ice Age- The Meltdown (Widescreen) | | | Starring: John Leguizamo Ray Romano | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/6/2007 |  | Ice Age: The Meltdown By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/17/2006 12:32 AM | | I hated Ice Age. The prehistoric road-trip comedy arrived in theaters on the heels of the superior Shrek and paled in comparison. Even judged on its own merits, Age moved like a two-ton glacier, suffered from a by-the-numbers screenplay that failed to take one risk, and overdosed on sadistic slapstick humor last utilized by the animators of Tom and Jerry. read the full review | |

 | | 25. Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show | | | Starring: Shelley Long Director: Jeff Kanew | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/22/2009 |  | The Larry Sanders Show: Not Just the Best of... - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/23/2007 8:57 PM | |
It's a cliche now to complain that HBO has the best original programming on television, but never has that been more true than in the case of The Larry Sanders Show, which ran for six seasons from 1992 to 1998 and was nominated for (and won) countless Emmys and every other award under the sun. The show is pure genius and pure simplicity: Larry Sanders (Garry Shandling) is a late night talk show host on an unspecified network in the post-Carson era. Each week we were treated to the behind-the-scenes antics that go on before such a show can get on the air five nights a week: At its slapstick simplest we have Carol Burnett fleeing spiders by climbing on Larry's back. read the full review | |
