Hall | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/21/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Dexter - The First Season - DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 9/23/2007 6:25 PM | | From the opening note's of Dexter's theme music, the viewer is made aware that they are in for a dark, yet somehow funny tale. Starring Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) as the titular Dexter Morgan, the show focuses on Dexter, a blood-spatter expert that works for the Miami Police Department. Beyond just working for the police though, Dexter happens to be a serial killer. read the full review | |

 | | 13. Maltese Falcon-Special Edition | | | Starring: Humphrey Bogart Mary Astor Director: John Huston | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/3/2006 | | User Rating: 5 | | The Maltese Falcon - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/21/2009 2:42 PM | |
The proof that some films are simply immune to satire or the wear and tear of time is fully contained in the sharp little diamond of cinema that is John Huston's 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon. (Dashiell Hammett's novel was actually filmed twice before, under the same title in 1931 and as Satan Met a Lady in 1936 with Bette Davis.) All the recognizable private detective flick elements are here, from the wisecracking P.I. himself to the femme fatale, scurrilous mugs who are too quick with their guns and too slow with their brains, and the McGuffin itself, a 400-year old statue of inestimable value. read the full review | |

 | | 16. Falling Down | | | Starring: Michael Douglas Director: Joel Schumacher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/11/2007 | | User Rating: 5 | | Falling Down - DVD Review By: Jason McKiernan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/26/2009 8:39 PM | |
Falling Down offers an interesting concept that is handled with the grace of a psycho wielding a baseball bat. The material has potential for greatness, but it is treated with an absolute minimum of subtlety, almost as if the filmmakers are daring us not to roll our eyes. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and to be fair, the hammer-it-home style is The Schumacher Way, but this is supposed to be a serious film about socio-emotional anger, not Batman and Robin. Michael Douglas headlines the film, playing a character that allows him to use his excellent shouting voice in almost every scene. read the full review | |

 | | 30. Saw 5 (Unrated Widescreen) | | | Starring: Costas Mandylor Tobin Bell Director: David Hackl | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/8/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Saw V - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/9/2009 4:44 PM | |
At this point in the Saw series, reviews really don't matter. Frankly, this is one of the few fright franchises where audiences don't care about character development, directorial flair, or narrative invention. Instead, they want more Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, more illogical puzzle kills, and a reverse referencing that makes unimportant characters major players in later installments. To that extent, Saw V is definitely no different. Unfortunately, whatever made the first four films tolerable has been whisked away by unimaginative writing and even more pedestrian direction. read the full review | |

Angel Heart (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Robert De Niro Mickey Rourke Director: Alan Parker | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/6/2007 | User Rating: 4 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Angel Heart - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/13/2009 6:42 PM | |
A decade before Hollywood got obsessed with urban volcanoes, asteroid impacts, and Steve Prefontaine -- offering us multiple movies about each topic -- the Big Bastardized Theme of the year was an inexplicable one: Voodoo. In 1987-88, three major voodoo-themed movies came out, including Angel Heart, The Serpent and the Rainbow, and The Believers. Each was tackled by a major director, and none of them made a huge splash critically or commercially. In fact, they all made pretty much the same amount at the box office -- slightly under $20 million. read the full review | |
