 | | 1. Four Christmases new! | | | Starring: Reese Witherspoon Vince Vaughn Director: Seth Gordon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/24/2009 |  | Four Christmases - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/13/2009 6:42 PM | |
Before a single joke is told, Seth Gordon's Four Christmases earns a positive grade for its inspired casting. I'm not talking about Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon, who are asked to do what they've done in previous comedies, and happily oblige. Vaughn, in particular, continues to ride that motor-mouthed ego shtick of his with very humorous results. His condescending personality should have worn out its welcome shortly after Wedding Crashers, yet somehow it still manages to entertain. read the full review | |

 | | 11. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Beverly D'Angelo Chevy Chase Director: Jeremiah Chechik | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/30/2008 | User Rating: 4.5 | | Christmas Vacation - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/23/2009 5:09 PM | |
Entry #3 in the National Lampoon's Vacation series is the last funny installment of the four movies (plus one made-for-TV movie which starred none of the original cast members). This time out the Griswolds aren't on a road trip -- they're spending a big family Christmas at home, filled with senile grandparents, and of course Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) and his white-trash brood. The usual holiday mishaps occur, from lights that won't go on to a Christmas tree that's too tall, but it's the cruel blackness of life that we see in all Vacation movies that makes the film memorable. read the full review | |

 | | 12. Dinosaurs-3rd and 4th Seasons | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/1/2007 | | Dinosaurs - The Complete Third and Fourth Seasons - DVD By: Sombrero Grande - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/1/2007 2:42 AM | | Dinosaurs ran on the ABC network for four seasons in the early 1990s. The elaborate brainchild of Jim Henson, it showcased “live” anthropomorphic dinosaurs living a caricature of our modern suburban lifestyle. Part The Simpsons, part The Flintstones, and part The Muppet Show, Dinosaurs took familiar elements and fused them together into a family sitcom that was unlike anything anyone had seen before or since.

 | | 23. Gone with The Wind (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Clark Gable Hattie McDaniel Director: Victor Fleming | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 | | Gone with the Wind - 70th Anniversay Ultimate Collector's Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/24/2009 8:21 AM | | As gilded and over-the-top as the Old South itself, the Gone with the Wind 70th Anniversary Collector's Edition Blu-ray release is an impressive tribute to one of the best loved films of all time. The Victor Fleming-directed (at least Fleming gets the credit) classic, based on Margaret Mitchell's book of the same name, looks exceedingly good in high definition, and the bonus items (video and otherwise) which accompany the release are sure to please fans. Everyone knows the tale of Gone with the Wind – Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) comes of age as the Civil War breaks out. It forces her to become an adult far sooner than she, and her family, may have wished, but Scarlett somehow manages – usually through conniving, lying, deceit, and other less than ladylike methods – to hold her family and her fortune together. read the full review | |

 | | 30. My Sisters Keeper new! | | | Starring: Alec Baldwin Cameron Diaz Director: Nick Cassavetes | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 | | My Sister's Keeper - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/6/2009 9:42 PM | |
Nick Cassavetes remains an interesting case study. After years spent toiling as an actor in forgettable, masochistic, basic-cable fare like Sins of the Night or the third Delta Force movie -- you know, the one with Mike Norris, not Chuck Norris -- the tattooed New York native with the prestigious bloodline is now carving a niche behind the camera as a male filmmaker who's interested in female-targeted melodramas. His 1996 directorial debut, Unhook the Stars, encouraged two strong actresses (his mother, Gena Rowlands, and an underrated Marisa Tomei) to make the most of an underwhelming character piece. read the full review | |

 | | 44. Evan Almighty (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Wanda Sykes Morgan Freeman Director: Tom Shadyac | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 | | Evan Almighty - DVD Review By: Jarad I. Wilk - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/12/2007 6:38 AM | | Evan Almighty is coined as a film for all ages. It's a 96 minute poop joke. The only people that can tolerate 96 minutes worth of poop jokes, and call it friendly fun, are children, because they don't know any better. Fine, the word poop sounds funny, but I don't need a movie filled with sophomoric attempts at doodie humor. Someone, whether it is screenwriter Steve Oedekerk or director Tom Shadyac, needs to seek help because there is a rather unhealthy obsession with poop displayed in Evan Almighty. read the full review | |
