 | | 2. Lost-4th Season | | | Starring: Dominic Monaghan Evangeline Lilly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/9/2008 | User Rating: 4 |  | Lost - The Complete Fourth Season - DVD Review By: Arlo J. Wiley - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/9/2008 11:01 PM | |
The excellence of Lost certainly hasn't gone unrecognized, however. This year, it was nominated for the Outstanding Drama Series Emmy for the first time since its freshman year. That's how good season four is. In fact, the only misstep is the convoluted, confused "The Other Woman," and even that isn't what you would call a bad episode. There are no creative failures here, only triumphs. It's as strong a season of television as any I've ever seen. read the full review | |

 | | 4. Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest | | | Starring: Johnny Depp Keira Knightley Director: Gore Verbinski | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/15/2008 |  | Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - DVD By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/13/2007 9:51 AM | This is how Hollywood should make all of their sequels. Given the immense success of the first film in 2003, the inevitable Pirates of the Caribbean sequel received an $80 million boost to its budget. The film definitely looks the part. Both immense in scale and fun, Dead Man’s Chest is easily on par with, if not better than, its predecessor.
Johnny Depp owns his character, a sly pirate named Jack Sparrow. Everything about his performance makes him a perfect centerpiece for the film. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Lost (Complete First Season) | | | Starring: Terry O'Quinn Dominic Monaghan Director: Jeffrey Abrams | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | Lost: Season One - DVD Review By: Joel Meares - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/28/2009 1:44 AM | |
Agatha Christie wrote something in excess of 80 novels. Christie was a practiced and a brilliant mystery taleteller, a commercial writer who exploited her full and total grasp of the mystery genre to massive popular success. Each plot was intricately realized, no facet of the mystery introduced that could not be resolved. Such is the enjoyment of good mysteries: a confidence that although clues and complications have confused us for now, in the end the equation will make sense. We should not know the ending, but it should not be impossible to work out. Lost, 2004s hit about a group of plane-wreck survivors milling about on a mysterious island, crashes and burns on its inability to handle the genre Christie had mastered. read the full review | |
