 | | 3. Coming To America | | | Starring: Eddie Murphy Director: John Landis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/5/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Coming to America - DVD Review By: Eric Meyerson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/28/2007 8:23 PM | |
In 1988, with his stock trading at an all-time high, Eddie Murphy outdid even himself with Coming to America. In the wake of a triptych of movies (The Golden Child, Beverly Hills Cop II, and the standup flick Eddie Murphy: Raw) hated by critics but consumed voraciously by his expanding audience, Murphy ditched the vulgar street-smart routine for African royalty and New York romance. And Coming to America became Murphy's biggest hit at the time in spite of pure, unadulterated wholesomeness. read the full review | |

 | | 7. Defiance | | | Starring: Daniel Craig Liev Schreiber Director: Edward Zwick | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/2/2009 | | 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 | |

 | | 43. Natural | | | Starring: Robert Redford Director: Barry Levinson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/25/2008 | | The Natural - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/23/2007 10:14 PM | |
The film remains, next to Field of Dreams, one of the world's oddest baseball movies. Roy Hobbs (Redford) is a child wunderkind at the game. After playing some ball at a carnival, he's summarily shot in the chest by a femme fatale (Barbara Hershey), who is clearly working for agents that want him not to be the greatest player of all time, which Hobbs says he aims to be.
