 | | 1. Burn Notice-Season 2 new! | | | Starring: Bruce Campbell Gabrielle Anwar | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 |  | Burn Notice, Season Two - DVD Review By: Fitz - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/22/2009 9:04 AM | | Imagine if you will a television series with the dry wit of House, the improvised gadgetry of MacGyver, and the spy games of the Bourne Identity. Then you might have an idea of what Burn Notice is like before you watch it. I have to admit when season one started airing on the USA Network, I avoided it, thinking it would be formulaic and boring. But I caught myself watching when season two began airing last summer. And then it was too late for me. I'd been ensnared by the witty dialog, clever contraptions, and a great pairing of writers and actors. At that point I went to Hulu and began watching all the episodes I'd missed from season one. And then I made sure I caught all of season two when it aired. I was hooked. read the full review | |

 | | 5. Lost-4th Season | | | Starring: Dominic Monaghan Evangeline Lilly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/9/2008 | User Rating: 4 |  | Lost - The Complete Fourth Season - DVD Review By: Arlo J. Wiley - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/9/2008 11:01 PM | |
The excellence of Lost certainly hasn't gone unrecognized, however. This year, it was nominated for the Outstanding Drama Series Emmy for the first time since its freshman year. That's how good season four is. In fact, the only misstep is the convoluted, confused "The Other Woman," and even that isn't what you would call a bad episode. There are no creative failures here, only triumphs. It's as strong a season of television as any I've ever seen. read the full review | |

 | | 25. Happening | | | Starring: John Leguizamo Zooey Deschanel Director: M. Night Shyamalan | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/17/2009 |  | The Happening - DVD Review By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/12/2008 12:59 PM | | The writer-director-subgenius once again robs the grave of Rod Serling in The Happening with another 30 minute Twilight Zone story played out in his characteristic s-l-o-w style to cross the feature length finish line. You can just imagine the Serling narration: "The time is the present. The place: the city of brotherly love. The cast of characters: humanity, which now faces judgement from the very environment they took for granted." For no apparent reason and without warning, people all over the world begin to spontaneously commit suicide. read the full review | |

Night Train (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Danny Glover Leelee Sobieski Director: Brian King | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 7/7/2009 |  | Night Train - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: David R Perry - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/7/2009 2:46 AM | | A train conductor (Glover) is on duty during a late night trip before the Christmas holidays. The train is nearly empty, with just a few passengers spread throughout the cars. Right before departure, a man rushes to catch the train, unable to speak from the cold, and carrying a package. While seated in the rear car with a drunken salesman (Zahn) and a medical student returning home for the holidays (Sobieski), the mysterious man silently dies. The two other passengers and the conductor, unsure what to do about the deceased, uncover the package he was carrying, and when their curiosity gets the best of them, open it. What they see inside begins to fuel a destructive greed that could doom them all. read the full review | |
