 | | 3. 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 | |

 | | 17. Zodiac (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Chloë Sevigny Jake Gyllenhaal Director: David Fincher | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/13/2009 | | Zodiac - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Aaron Peck - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/29/2009 12:31 PM | | As The Curious Case of Bejamin Button continues to do well at the box office, and with its recent Oscar nominations, it seems fitting that David Fincher’s film Zodiac would get a special Blu-ray release like this. Based on the true story of the unsolved Zodiac murders, Zodiac takes a different approach to the serial killer genre. Instead of focusing on the gruesome murders, Fincher instead focuses on the people involved. The film covers two decades, and delves into the lives and minds of the people involved with investigating the case. read the full review | |

 | | 29. 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 | |
