One needs a groom to stay in the country, the other needs a bride to keep his job. Their plan is simple enough: a quick marriage followed by a quicker divorce. While visiting the to-be in-laws in Alaska, however, these faux-betrotheds soon find themselves questioning their true feelings and the sincerity of this proposal. read the full review | |

Mad Men Season 2 | | | Starring: John Slattery Christina Hendricks Director: Tim Hunter Alan Taylor | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/14/2009 | | Mad Men - Season 2 - DVD Review By: Tim Rainey - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/3/2009 5:12 PM | | We live in a digital age where every movie, television show, book, and video game are hyped up as much as possible. We’re bombarded with ads and praise for things that rarely deserve it. Hype’s a double-edged sword -- everyone wants their product to be known but too much hype can lead to higher expectations than the property can deliver on. AMC’s original show Mad Men has received such high acclaim and is one of the rare shows to truly earn it. But what is it about this show that draws in audiences and earns heaps of Emmy nominations? What is it exactly that makes this show tick? read the full review | |

Heroes-Season 1 | | | Starring: Adrian Pasdar Ali Larter | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | Heroes - Season 1 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2007 8:53 PM | | What creator Tim Kring has done with the series shows that he recognizes that TV is a very different medium than film. Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |

 | | 12. Return To Me | | | Starring: David Duchovny Minnie Driver Director: Bonnie Hunt | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/15/2008 | | Return to Me - DVD Review By: Robert Strohmeyer - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/27/2009 5:36 PM | |
Let’s cut to the chase; the Weekly World News could have given us a better story about a man and a woman united by a heart transplant. It’s not for lack of talent, either, that this flick stumbles. If anything, Return to Me hosts almost as overqualified a cast as Brian De Palma’s lame duck blockbuster, Mission to Mars. The real problem here seems to be lack of directorial focus. After a career of feature film supporting roles, television walk-ons and cartoon voiceovers, Bonnie Hunt somehow convinced MGM to let her sit in the folding chair. The result is a charming romantic comedy tragically bogged down by the uncomfortable avoidance of its central plot point. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Confessions of a Shopaholic coming soon! | | | Starring: Hugh Dancy Isla Fisher Director: P.J. Hogan | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Confessions of a Shopaholic - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/11/2009 5:39 AM | |
Hollywood has found a new cash cow, though the use of the latter term might get more than a few supposedly chauvinistic critics in trouble. The modern woman, sick of the same old sloppy rom-com rationalizations, has decided to go gourmand. Like Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, she wants it all and she wants it now. Oh course, back in the '70s, said little girl was considered a brat. Today, she is the reigning glamour queen of conspicuous consumption. A perfect example of this ideal is Rebecca Bloomwood. The heroine of P.J. Hogan's adaptation of Sophia Kinsella's Confessions of a Shopaholic, this spunky career gal wants a cushy job, a suave boyfriend, an understanding best bud, and an unlimited credit line. read the full review | |

 | | 43. Bolt (3-Disc Set Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy) | | | Director: Chris Williams Byron Howard | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 3/20/2009 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Bolt (2008) - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/19/2009 10:10 AM | | It only takes a few minutes in front of Bolt to realize that despite the fact that Disney owns Pixar, the Pixar magic hasn't quite rubbed off on the folks at the Mouse House. But really, was anyone actually expecting something on par with WALL·E? Putting the brilliance that is Pixar out of sight and mind for 90 minutes will go a long way in aiding your enjoyment of Bolt, a pleasant film experience that’s hardly remarkable, but notable for being the first Disney feature to be conceived entirely in 3-D. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Shortbus | | | Starring: Raphael Barker Director: John Cameron Mitchell | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/13/2007 | | Shortbus - DVD By: Don Willmott - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/2/2007 6:07 PM | |
John Cameron Mitchell 's thesis in Shortbus harkens back to E.M. Forster's classic exhortation: "Only connect." In Mitchell's world, however, a big part of connection is sexual connection, and a big part of sexual connection is the ability to give and enjoy earth-shattering orgasms. Mitchell's characters are in search of sexual connection, and it's a shocking, hardcore search that brings intensely graphic (and real) sex to mainstream cinema for the first time. To put it another way: Oh. My. God. read the full review | |

Code Name: The Cleaner. BloodRayne. Grandma's Boy. White Noise. Elektra. Are We There Yet? These are not preliminary selections for the inaugural class of an as-yet-unfounded Hollywood Hall of Shame. They are instead the most recent cinematic abominations to have been released in the early weeks of the new year, dating back to 2005. My colleagues and I regularly joke that if a studio hopes to bury a movie in the cold, efficient style of the mob hiding Jimmy Hoffa, they release it in early January (late August is a suitable alternative). read the full review | |
