 | | 16. Curious Case Of Benjamin Button | | | Starring: Brad Pitt Cate Blanchett Director: David Fincher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/24/2009 5:36 PM | | Every great filmmaker is allowed one bad film. For David Fincher, his first was his worst. An intelligent director, Fincher cut his teeth on television commercials and music videos before making his feature debut in 1992 with a forgettable and regrettable installment in the Alien franchise. It was all uphill from there. Fincher's next five films arguably are modern classics, each impressively different from its immediate predecessor. Gen X fanboys idolize him for the basement-dwelling aggressions of Fight Club. The director brought flash -- and a needed backbone -- to pulp thrillers like The Game and Panic Room. And cineastes found plenty to appreciate in the meticulous musings of Fincher's cold-case police procedural, Zodiac. read the full review | |

 | | 17. Apocalypto (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Dalia Hernandez Mayra Serbulo Director: Mel Gibson | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/10/2010 | User Rating: 4 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Apocalypto - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/20/2007 11:11 AM | | Mel Gibson presents an amazing recreation of the Mayan world for Apocolypto; at least, the viewer would have to think so, not really knowing much about that world. The obvious effort and skill that went into sets, hair, make-up, and costumes on what looks like thousands of lead and background characters is impressive. The technical and artistic crew has much to be proud about. They should also be a little pissed that Gibson-the-director turned their work into an uncensored episode of 'Cops: The Mayan Beat.' read the full review | |

Troy leaves the talking to its triumvirate of Hollywood royalty – Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, and Peter O’Toole. The dying is left up to the chiseled and marketable studs – Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, and Brad Pitt. Whenever a member of the veteran trio interacts with a member of the other on screen, it creates a mismatch of talent not even a Trojan Horse could overcome.

 | | 43. An American Affair | | | Starring: Gretchen Mol Director: William Sten Olsson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/28/2009 | | An American Affair - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/23/2009 1:48 AM | |
John F. Kennedy -- the name itself seems cloaked in an air of mystery and myth. He went from privilege to politician, President of the United States to the victim of an assassin's bullet and the center of an ongoing, decades-long conspiracy cottage industry. He's no longer just a man, but a collection of iconic American ideals -- good and bad -- all rolled into one. So when you use this legendary figure as the basis for your cliched coming of age storyline, you need to tread lightly. His import will overpower almost any narrative design. Unfortunately, An American Affair is so absurd and convoluted that even JFK's legacy can't subdue its preposterousness. read the full review | |
