 | | 6. 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. Underworld (2-Disc Extended Cut, Unrated) | | | Starring: Kate Beckinsale Director: Len Wiseman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 |  | Underworld - DVD Review By: Annette Cardwell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/3/2009 5:39 AM | |
Underworld’s trailer makes it looks wonderfully slick and dark in the tradition of The Matrix and Blade; but after seeing it, you’ll realize that everything that seemed dazzling was simply stolen and then abused – from its Dark Shadows-meets-Matrix costumes to its Blade weaponry to its Nine Inch Nails video backdrops. Nothing about Underworld is original; it’s a hackneyed, patched-together goth-kid fantasy that I’m convinced was written a 15-year-old boy who wears black eyeliner (think the Saturday Night Live skit “Goth Talk”). read the full review | |

 | | 15. Alpha Dog (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Sharon Stone Emile Hirsch Director: Nick Cassavetes | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 5/1/2007 |  | Alpha Dog - DVD By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 4/25/2007 10:06 PM | | There's not a single grammatical reason to use the F-bomb more than twice in one sentence, and these guys are spitting them out like watermelon seeds. If there was some more tweaking on the script side of things these young boys could have looked less like posers and more like gangsters. read the full review | |

 | | 16. 3 Days of the Condor | | | Starring: Cliff Robertson Faye Dunaway Director: Sydney Pollack | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/11/2006 |  | Three Days of the Condor - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/1/2009 8:39 PM | |
In Sydney Pollack's strange spy thriller Three Days of the Condor, Robert Redford plays a playful and somewhat geeky analyst for the C.I.A. He spends his days reading books, journals, and any manner of written correspondence that is published or publicly available, searching for codes, keywords, and country names to cross-reference with Langley. He has a code name, Condor, which he has no particular use for until the day he returns from a lunch run to find his entire department murdered. Suddenly, he is on the lam, indulging in ramshackle espionage plots and rubbing elbows with foreign assassins. He's not a spy but he plays one pretty well. read the full review | |

 | | 41. Marine | | | Starring: Kelly Carlson John Cena Director: John Bonito | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/10/2008 |  | The Marine - DVD By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 2/17/2007 6:12 PM | | What doesn't work on the disc is the set of WWE promotional clips. These are shots which range from thirty seconds to a minute long that aired on television during WWE shows to promote the film. That's fine, but given the repetitiveness of the clips, hitting the Play All option is brutal. These definitely work best spaced out over periods of time and beer. Come to think of it, it's quite possible the same could be true for the movie as well. Call your local Budweiser representative and ask about home delivery. read the full review | |
