One needs a groom to stay in the country, the other needs a bride to keep his job. Their plan is simple enough: a quick marriage followed by a quicker divorce. While visiting the to-be in-laws in Alaska, however, these faux-betrotheds soon find themselves questioning their true feelings and the sincerity of this proposal. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Gone with The Wind (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Clark Gable Hattie McDaniel Director: Victor Fleming | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 |  | Gone with the Wind - 70th Anniversay Ultimate Collector's Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/24/2009 8:21 AM | | As gilded and over-the-top as the Old South itself, the Gone with the Wind 70th Anniversary Collector's Edition Blu-ray release is an impressive tribute to one of the best loved films of all time. The Victor Fleming-directed (at least Fleming gets the credit) classic, based on Margaret Mitchell's book of the same name, looks exceedingly good in high definition, and the bonus items (video and otherwise) which accompany the release are sure to please fans. Everyone knows the tale of Gone with the Wind – Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) comes of age as the Civil War breaks out. It forces her to become an adult far sooner than she, and her family, may have wished, but Scarlett somehow manages – usually through conniving, lying, deceit, and other less than ladylike methods – to hold her family and her fortune together. read the full review | |

 | | 24. True Blood-Complete 1st Season | | | Starring: Stephen Moyer Anna Paquin | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | True Blood: Season One - DVD Review By: Don Willmott - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/8/2009 5:39 PM | |
Richly populated with a wide variety of unique characters, not to mention a serial killer and lots of sexy vampires, Bon Temps, Louisiana is a decidedly interesting place in which to spend some time. Alan Ball's True Blood may not quite measure up to the triumph of his Six Feet Under, but it's as good a series as any HBO has put on the air since The Sopranos ended, and it's well worth a renewal or two. Based on a series of novels by Charlaine Harris, True Blood drops us into the weird world of Sookie Stackhouse (the energetic Anna Paquin), a young waitress who has ability to hear people's thoughts, a talent that annoys the hell out of her. read the full review | |

 | | 42. Defiance | | | Starring: Daniel Craig Liev Schreiber Director: Edward Zwick | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Defiance - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/22/2009 5:40 PM | |
Decades after the last shot was fired, filmmakers continue to find intriguing narrative passages into WWII. The latest, Edward Zwick's Defiance, tells the true story of the Bielskis, three Jewish brothers who, in 1941, avoided capture by the Germans and fled to Poland's Lipicanzia Forest. Willing to help as many fellow exiles as possible, Tuvia (Daniel Craig), Zus (Liev Schreiber), and Asael (Jamie Bell) formed what eventually came to be known as the Otriad, a mobile community that grew to encompass 1,200 Jewish refugees. The Otriad provided food, shelter, safety, and a moderate sense of stability. There were rules and guidelines, which bred harmony and conflict. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Gone with The Wind 70th Anniversary Gift Set new! | | | Starring: Leslie Howard Vivien Leigh Director: Victor Fleming | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 |  | Gone With the Wind - DVD Review By: David Bezanson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/6/2009 9:42 PM | |
One of the classic films that defined American cinema, Gone With the Wind is a rare example of a collaboration involving hundreds of talents and egos that turned out great. Dozens of uncredited screenwriters (including F. Scott Fitzgerald, briefly) and hundreds of actors were marshaled by David O. Selznick for this effort. The resulting four-hour epic is, inflation-adjusted, still the highest-grossing movie of all time -- and it deserves to be. For millions of people, Gone With the Wind has helped to define the myth and reality of America’s most tragic (and much-misunderstood) period of history, the Civil War and Reconstruction. read the full review | |
