 | | 11. Watchmen (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Billy Crudup Jackie Earle Haley Director: Zack Snyder | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/18/2009 |  | Watchmen - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/10/2009 4:48 PM | |
The year is 1985. The Cold War rages on. While serving his fifth consecutive term in the Oval Office, President Richard Nixon contemplates nuclear assault against an aggressive Soviet Union. Elsewhere, an egomaniacal villain unleashes a mysterious threat that promises to decimate several of the world's major cities. Help, meanwhile, is not on the way. The masked superheroes who used to protect our crumbling society are in exile, banned by Congress from practicing what's now believed to be vigilante justice. And our nation's top weapon -- a sky-blue, radioactive superbeing nicknamed Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) -- has fled to Mars following a fight with his longtime girlfriend. read the full review | |

 | | 13. Watchmen (Blu-Ray + Digital Copy) | | | Starring: Billy Crudup Jackie Earle Haley Director: Zack Snyder | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 7/21/2009 | | Watchmen - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Robert M. Barga - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/20/2009 5:10 PM | | It is 1985, America won that war in Vietnam, and Nixon has been elected to his third term. The city of New York is repugnant, with crime, prostitution, and drugs everywhere. In a high-rise in the city of lights, an old man is tossed out of his penthouse. He plummets to the ground, accepts his fate, and dies. Somebody, somewhere, is killing off superheroes. Watchmen weaves an intricate tale of woe, love, war, passion, and humanity. The movie opens with the death of Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who in a previous life was the masked man known as The Comedian. After his former colleague and one of the few still-active heroes, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), hears of the death, he heads over to investigate. Looking around Blake’s room, Rorschach is forced to conclude that somebody came after Blake because he was a hero, not for some other reason. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Mentalist-Complete 1st Season | | | Starring: Simon Baker | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/22/2009 | | The Mentalist: The Complete First Season - DVD Review By: Amanda - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 9/28/2009 2:45 PM | | With the massive flood of police procedurals on the prime time television, they tend to run together for me. Unfortunately, when a new procedural debuts on broadcast, it always manages to look like a clone (or composite) of others. That's the trap The Mentalist first fell into for me - it looked like just another run-of-the-mill police procedural poised to repeated the same concepts of CSI, NCIS , Criminal Minds, etc. with slightly different characters to fool viewers into thinking it was different. Then one evening I was flipping channels and came across The Mentalist. There was nothing else on, so I thought I'd turn it on as background noise while I worked on my computer. It ended up becoming far more than that. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Zodiac (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Chloë Sevigny Jake Gyllenhaal Director: David Fincher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/27/2009 | | Zodiac - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 7/29/2007 9:30 AM | | Fincher doesn't infuse the movie with the visual tricks that fans of Se7en, Fight Club, and Panic Room might expect. Instead everything is played straight with the story, acting, and few moments of suspense intended to carry the day. The scenes where Zodiac meets up with his victims are chilling to watch and turn up the suspense ratchet, but the long wait in between, mostly discussions between the various combinations of cops and reporters, dilutes their impact. read the full review | |
