 | | 14. Batman- The Dark Knight (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Heath Ledger Christian Bale Director: Christopher Nolan | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 12/9/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Dark Knight - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/1/2008 8:06 PM | | It’s hard to fathom a movie with more hype behind it than The Dark Knight. This is the point where the comic book movie has truly come into its own, surpassing the usual boundaries to become something more. It’s impossible to give full credit to anyone here, although names can certainly be tossed out as to who made this more special than it would have been without them. It’s not a perfect film by any stretch, but it’s a great thrill ride. read the full review | |

 | | 22. Terminator | | | Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger Director: James Cameron | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/6/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | The Terminator - DVD Review By: Max Messier - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
I'll never forget the first time I saw James Camerons The Terminator. I must have watched that movie at least 100 times during my youth. But during the 101st viewing, the VHS copy I stole from my uncle Daves video collection was eaten by my crappy old-school, top-loading VHS player. Damn, that sucked. The Terminator stands as a personal favorite. Schwarzenegger was in his prime in the 1980s -- in guilty pleasures like Commando, Raw Deal, Predator, Conan The Barbarian, and The Running Man. But he gave many kids my age something to hang on to during the Reagan years. Schwarzenegger was our generation's John Wayne, a muscle-bound bodyguard extracting his own kind of vengeance from a cold and dangerous world. read the full review | |

 | | 27. Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Single Disc) | | | Starring: Anna Popplewell Ben Barnes Director: Andrew Adamson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/2/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2008 4:31 PM | |
In Clerks II, uber-slacker Randal described the Lord of the Rings trilogy as a series of endless walks. Nothing but nonstop, pointless treks. One has to wonder what his reaction would be to the overwhelming ambulation in the two Chronicles of Narnia films. While The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe had origins and mythos to highlight, Disney's latest entry in the franchise, Prince Caspian, requires a more minimal setup. All returning director Andrew Adamson has to offer as a result is more shoe to footpath action, with the occasional CGI-sparked battle to break up the constant strolling. read the full review | |

 | | 35. The Covenant | | | Starring: Toby Hemingway Chace Crawford Director: Renny Harlin | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/22/2008 | User Rating: 4 |  | The Covenant By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2007 11:44 AM | | I cannot begin to account how many cringe-worthy moments there are in the film. But if you make a drinking game out of every horrible, embarrassing line of dialogue, you'll be unconscious before the film is halfway over. Here are a few gems: (Begin drinking now)"Harry Potter can kiss my ass!", "That guy's puking sure came at an opportune time!" and the classic (take two shots)"I'm going to make you my We-otch!!" J.S. Cardone really needs a dialogue filter. I hope he got one at Christmas. read the full review | |

 | | 40. TMNT | | | Director: Kevin Munroe | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/10/2009 |  | TMNT - DVD Review By: Jarad I. Wilk - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/9/2007 7:30 AM | | Director Kevin Munroe has all the ingredients needed to make a successful TMNT adventure - a power-hungry tycoon, ugly bad guys and even uglier monsters, turtles fathered by a Chinese rat in a New York sewer and ninja fights. For me, however, there was something missing from this movie that I, as a kid, always got with the original cartoon series and comic books: Fun. I always remembered having fun and laughing while watching TMNT as a kid. This, however, felt more like I was visiting relatives that I have met before but hadn't seen in 10 years. It was slightly uncomfortable and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to reacquaint myself with them because they were different than I remembered and they smelled kind of funky. Then, of course, they start to fight and everything I was thinking went up in flames, 'cause, heck, it is fun to watch them fight. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Heroes-Season 1 | | | Starring: Adrian Pasdar Ali Larter | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Heroes - Season 1 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2007 8:53 PM | | What creator Tim Kring has done with the series shows that he recognizes that TV is a very different medium than film. Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |
