 | | 2. Unborn new! | | | Starring: Gary Oldman Odette Yustman Director: David S. Goyer | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/7/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Unborn - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In a world bereft of rationality, such as that of popular Hollywood, Odette Yustman could play the slightly-younger sister (or, heck, even twin) of somebody like Jessica Alba, and it's fitting that their careers seem to be synching up. Almost a year to the day after Alba started seeing ghosts from a pair of haunted peepers in The Eye, Yustman begins seeing ghosts because -- well, gosh, I don't know why -- in David S. Goyer's sophomore effort as writer/director, The Unborn. Yustman plays Casey Beldon, a college student who suddenly begins seeing scorpions in her eggs, dogs with masks, and all sorts of other crazy things. Her doctor gives her the boring reason: genetic mosaicism, a retinal irregularity usually seen in twins. read the full review | |

 | | 14. Brotherhood-2nd Season Complete | | | Starring: Jason Clarke Annabeth Gish | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/7/2008 | | Brotherhood - Season 2 - DVD Review By: Scott Deitche - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/15/2009 3:56 PM | | It’s a natural to compare Brotherhood to The Sopranos. They are both about organized-crime syndicates, families both criminal and blood, and evoke a real sense of place, made more authentic in Brotherhood by the filming of the show in Providence, RI and surrounding cities. Two regulars from The Sopranos even have parts in Brotherhood: Al Sapienza (Uncle Junior’s soldier, Mickey Palmice) is the Mayor, and Matt Servitto (Agent Harris) is Representative Donatello. But the shows are different enough to stand apart. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Haunting in Connecticut (Unrated Special Edition) coming soon! | | | Starring: Elias Koteas Kyle Gallner Director: Peter Cornwell | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/14/2009 | | The Haunting in Connecticut - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/3/2009 10:48 PM | |
For those of us growing up in the '70s, there was one seminal, supposedly true, scary story. No, it wasn't Helter Skelter or the trumped-up Texas Chainsaw Massacre. No, in high school cafeterias everywhere, we teens were talking about George and Kathy Lutz and their 1977 journey into red-eyed demonic pig terror, The Amityville Horror. The novel was a post-modern masterwork, a complete con passing itself off as irrefutable "fictional" reality. Now comes The Haunting in Connecticut, a similarly-styled exercise culled from a novel, plus an episode of the always trustworthy TV show from the Discovery Channel. Oddly enough, it's another network -- Lifetime -- that sets the tone for this tepid terror tale. read the full review | |

 | | 18. Bedtime Stories | | | Starring: Adam Sandler Director: Adam Shankman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/3/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Bedtime Stories - DVD Review By: David Bezanson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/27/2009 5:36 PM | |
Part of Sandler's "oeuvre" consists of movies like Spanglish and Punch-Drunk Love -- odd hybrids of broad humor and quirk -- and toned-down, frothy mainstream comedies like Click and Bedtime Stories. It would be unfair to accuse Sandler of selling out his artistic vision in these films -- not only because Little Nicky wasn't art, but because the non-manic goofiness of Bedtime Stories may be closer to the real Sandler. And with some script consulting help, someday the real Sandler might make a really good film. Bedtime Stories isn't it, but at least it's mostly aimed in the right direction. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Two Lovers new! | | | Starring: Joaquin Phoenix Gwyneth Paltrow Director: James Gray | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/30/2009 | | Two Lovers - DVD Review By: Norm Schrager - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/22/2009 10:44 PM | |
Joaquin Phoenix has a reputation for diving heartily into roles, and his starring turn in James Gray's Two Lovers is no exception. In the film's first scene, Phoenix's dive is literal: A Brooklyn kid plunging into the bay in an arresting setup that rings of despair and confusion. It's an appropriate introduction to Phoenix's delicate character development, a performance that buoys an impressive romantic drama. And that's a genre we don't see too often anymore: romantic drama. read the full review | |
