 | | 5. Taken | | | Starring: Liam Neeson Maggie Grace Director: Pierre Morel | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 |  | Taken - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
Of all the men you would expect to tear through Europe to save his daughter, leaving a trail of dead like Jonestown in his wake, Liam Neeson would be relatively low on the list, coming in somewhere between Chevy Chase and Zero Mostel. Neeson has always been known for playing men of impassioned rhetoric, guys whose tongues are more powerful than their physical prowess. So, watching the man who played Alfred Kinsey, Jean Valjean, and Michael Collins take two large nails and slam them into a another man's thighs before connecting jumper cables to said nails might leave a viewer understandably flabbergasted. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Transporter 3 | | | Starring: Robert Knepper Director: Olivier Megaton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/10/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Transporter 3 - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/27/2009 5:25 PM | |
Remember the Star Trek films theory? You know, the argument that says every even-numbered entry (two, four, six, so on) in the series was great, while every odd numbered movie was mediocre to awful? Well, the Transporter franchise could soon take the place of everyone's favorite serious science fiction romp, except in this case, the conflicting criticisms would be "tolerable" and "oh no, not again." You'd figure that with this third journey into Jason Statham's six pack, we'd have something akin to a guilty pleasure. Instead, all we're offered is a director named "Olivier Megaton," and sadly, both his name and his effort is a dud. read the full review | |

 | | 13. Mr. Bean's Holiday (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Jean Rochefort Rowan Atkinson Director: Steve Bendelack | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/26/2008 | | Mr. Bean's Holiday - DVD Review By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/4/2007 9:56 PM | | This is just a movie for the fun of it and nothing more. It is a fluff film that doesn't hurt anyone and certainly portrays Bean doing what he does best; being ridiculous. Mr. Bean's Holiday doesn't have the substance to fly off store shelves, but in the midst of everything that is out there, if there ever was a film just to watch as a family, eat popcorn, and laugh, this could be it. read the full review | |

 | | 31. Moulin Rouge (Special Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Ewan McGregor Nicole Kidman Director: Baz Luhrmann | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/24/2005 | User Rating: 4.8 | | Moulin Rouge - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/31/2008 3:31 PM | |
As good as the film is, the Moulin Rouge DVD is better, a lavish, two-disc affair replete with extras. Luhrmann appears on two commentary tracks, and (much like The Matrix) a "follow the green fairy" feature takes you to mini-making-of bits in context with the movie. And if all that's not enough, just pop in the second disc, for inside looks at early script drafts (amazing!), deleted scenes (inspiring!), and just about anything else you could want to see -- including the performance of "Lady Marmalade" at the MTV Movie Awards. Outstanding disc. read the full review | |

 | | 36. District B13 (Blu-ray) | | | Director: Luc Besson Pierre Morel | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/25/2007 | | District B13 - DVD Review Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/13/2006 10:58 PM | | What's even more impressive is that 90% of the acrobatics were performed without the aid of wires, CGI, or any other special effects, adding a bone-crunching element of realism to some astonishing chop-socky moments. Mix in a thumping techno soundtrack and you've got yourself an eye-popping, pulse-pounding adrenaline fest timing in at a brisk 85 minutes. read the full review | |
