 | | 6. Knowing new! | | | Starring: Chandler Canterbury Nicolas Cage Director: Alex Proyas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/7/2009 |  | Knowing - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In the list of filmmakers packed with wasted potential, Alex Proyas has to be near the top. While Dark City sparkled with a kind of surreal sci-fi magic, his other efforts -- including the gloppy Will Smith epic I, Robot -- have felt strained and unrewarding. So when you see his name attached to the lasted Nicolas Cage effort (said actor himself a perfect example of the law of continued diminishing returns), one fears a flop coming on. But as luck would have it, Knowing is actually very good. It proves that Proyas is perhaps one mainstream mega-hit away from finally fulfilling his so far unrealized possibilities.

Dr.Who-Complete 4th Series | | | Starring: Catherine Tate David Tennant | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/18/2008 | | Dr. Who: The Complete 4th Series - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/21/2008 10:06 PM | | Doctor Who is a show about the travels of a mysterious time traveler known only as the Doctor. He moves about in his space/time vehicle (known as TARDIS) exploring, righting wrongs, fighting evil, and getting in and out of trouble in his own unique way. He is currently on his tenth incarnation. The Doctor has the ability to regenerate when critically injured. He’s done this nine times since his first appearance back in 1963, making Doctor Who the longest running sci-fi series of all time. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Battlestar Galactica Season 4.0 | | | Starring: Katee Sackhoff Edward James Olmos | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/6/2009 | User Rating: 4.5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.0 - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2009 8:42 PM | | Battlestar Galactica is a series that isn't afraid to change. While I'm not about to go into spoiler territory and openly admit how this half of the season ends, it's sufficient enough to say that it's a paradigm shift that overshadows the revelation of the hidden Cylons, the brewing civil war, and all other dynamic changes the series has undergone. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Star Trek-Original Series-Season 1 (Blu Ray) (7discs) | | | Starring: DeForest Kelley George Takei Director: Donald R. Beck | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | | Star Trek: Season One - DVD Review By: David Bezanson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/17/2009 5:36 PM | |
Just like religion and the U.S. Constitution, science fiction has remained popular while losing much of its meaning. Sci fi has never been bigger than it is today, but unlike the fifties -- when even the lamest creature features carried "messages" about nuclear anxiety or the nobility of space exploration -- today's sci-fi movies and TV series don't have much to say. At best, they are action/drama series with intergalactic settings. The hugely successful Star Trek franchise has been part of that transition. read the full review | |

 | | 25. Push new! | | | Starring: Camilla Belle Chris Evans Director: Paul McGuigan | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/7/2009 | | Push - DVD Review By: David Thomas - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In the first minute of Push, a character utters a line that's all but verbatim: "Save the cheerleader; save the world." With the film's unapologetic intent to lift freely from Heroes and its progenitor X-Men firmly established, we're then treated to virtually nothing new in the ordinary-folks-with-extraordinary-abilities subgenre. Opening credit narration explains that there exist people born with special powers they don't necessarily want, and since the '40s an entity called Division has been trying to round them up and turn them into super-soldiers. There are a handful of abilities, and if you have one, you get a catchy name. Watchers can see the future. Pushers can put thoughts in your head. read the full review | |
