 | | 2. Ice Age- The Meltdown (Widescreen) | | | Starring: John Leguizamo Ray Romano | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/14/2008 |  | 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 | |

 | | 14. Top Gun (2-Disc Widescreen Special Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Kelly McGillis Tom Cruise Director: Tony Scott | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/16/2007 | | Top Gun - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/18/2008 5:45 PM | |
Anyone fondly remembering Top Gun as a prototypical action-packed Jerry Bruckheimer 'nad-fest probably hasn't seen it in awhile. Newly released as a mega-deluxe DVD, it's time to remember what Top Gun really is: From "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" to "Take My Breath Away," it's mushy love story first, fighter-pilots-in-training movie second. Ironically, the early 1990s would bring to light the fact that carousing was what naval pilots seemed to do best: The 1986 Tailhook scandal occured during the same year Top Gun was released.But in its day, Top Gun was nothing less than a pop culture phenomenon. Despite being nearly 20 years old, it's still #80 on the list of all-time U.S. box office champs -- ten spots ahead of The Matrix. read the full review | |

 | | 17. Trading Places | | | Starring: Eddie Murphy Dan Aykroyd Director: John Landis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/5/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Trading Places - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/2/2007 6:03 AM | |
Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd have made some bad movies in their day, but Trading Places is one of their respective bests.
Now legendary, the film has been referenced and homaged to an extent matched by few other recent films. It's a classic story: Greedy Phildadelphia commodity brokers Randolph and Mortimer Duke (the inimatable Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) bet the sum of $1 on a "scientific experiment," namely that they can depose their successful managing director Louis (Aykroyd) and replace him with a common street bum named Valentine (Murphy).

 | | 43. 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 | |
