 | | 1. Twilight (2-Disc Special Edition) | | | Starring: Kristen Stewart Robert Pattinson Director: Catherine Hardwicke | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/20/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Twilight - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/13/2009 5:38 PM | |
Damn you Anne Rice! Even since you introduced that lovelorn supermodel turned bloodsucker Lestat, the vampire has been romanticized all out of proportion. Cold yet compassionate, sexy but spurned, the supposed supernatural monster has gone from corpse to Casanova in the twinkle of a dateless spinster's eye. Now comes Twilight, the latest entry in the continued compromising of the classic Stoker archetype. Aimed directly at the ADD-addled attention span of the average Facebooker, aside from being no fun at all, it stands as one of 2008's most crass commercial statements. read the full review | |

 | | 26. 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 | |

 | | 30. Underworld:rise Of The Lycans | | | Starring: Michael Sheen Rhona Mitra Director: Patrick Tatopoulos | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
Upon first description, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans appears completely unnecessary, even for one of the Underworld movies, which, like the Resident Evil pictures, are well-practiced in the art of spinning inessential straw into inessential off-season box-office gold. Rise of the Lycans is a prequel, seeking to explain in greater detail the mythology-heavy plot turns discussed so endlessly in the very first Underworld movie: How and why vampires and werewolves came to so loathe each other. The reasons, it turns out, are not dissimilar to what I faintly recall as the central conflict from the first film: a vampire named Sonja (Rhona Mitra) is in love with a lycan called Lucian (Michael Sheen). read the full review | |

 | | 32. Stargate Sg1-Season 10 | | | Starring: Amanda Tapping Ben Browder | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/24/2009 | User Rating: 4.7 |  | Stargate SG-1 Season 10 - DVD Review By: Mack Rawden - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/21/2007 8:16 PM | | In all honesty, the twenty-one hours that I spent watching 'Stargate: SG-1 Season 10' was the biggest waste of time I have ever encountered. Here are a short list of things I would recommend that you do rather than buy this DVD: read a book, wash your car, wash someone else's car, check out 'Battlestar Galactica', clean out your gutters, or even let your wife teach you how to scrapbook. Yes, I've sunk to the level of endorsing scrapbooking. It's just that bad. read the full review | |
