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 | |

 | | 13. Top Gun (2-Disc Widescreen Special Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Kelly McGillis Tom Cruise Director: Tony Scott | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/16/2007 | | Top Gun - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/18/2008 5:45 PM | |
Anyone fondly remembering Top Gun as a prototypical action-packed Jerry Bruckheimer 'nad-fest probably hasn't seen it in awhile. Newly released as a mega-deluxe DVD, it's time to remember what Top Gun really is: From "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" to "Take My Breath Away," it's mushy love story first, fighter-pilots-in-training movie second. Ironically, the early 1990s would bring to light the fact that carousing was what naval pilots seemed to do best: The 1986 Tailhook scandal occured during the same year Top Gun was released.But in its day, Top Gun was nothing less than a pop culture phenomenon. Despite being nearly 20 years old, it's still #80 on the list of all-time U.S. box office champs -- ten spots ahead of The Matrix. read the full review | |

 | | 44. 28 Weeks Later (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Imogen Poots Mackintosh Muggleton Director: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/15/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | 28 Weeks Later... - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/28/2007 8:42 PM | |
The grisly 28 Weeks Later... jettisons the director, cast, and recurring characters from the original film -- Danny Boyle's 2003 nightmare vision 28 Days Later -- and keeps only the franchise's dynamic plot device: a rage virus that, in seconds, turns unsuspecting citizens into violent zombies. It's an effective way to wipe the slate clean before more blood is splattered across it. Spanish filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo structures his picture less like a conventional sequel and more like a "next chapter" in the horror saga, which might explain why this fresh, energized, and clever installment works better than it should. read the full review | |
