 | | 1. Schoolhouse Rock (30th Anniversary Edition) | | | Director: Tom Warburton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/5/2005 | User Rating: 5 |  | Schoolhouse Rock! - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/12/2008 3:28 PM | |
"But I know I'll be a law someday / at least I hope and pray / that I will / but today / I am still / just a bill..." Man, I love that song. And boy does listening to it again on this 30th Anniversary DVD brings the memories back. (Ya know, 1973 to 2002 isn't quite 30 years, but who's counting? Er, counting? Wait a sec...) . As you might expect, this long-anticipated two-disc DVD set includes all 46 original songs made for ABC's Schoolhouse Rock! For the uninitiated, Schoolhouse Rock! was not quite a TV show, not quite a commercial. I was all of two years old when it got started, and frankly I'm not quite sure what these music videos were all about, when they were aired, or why. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Forrest Gump (Special Collector's Edition) | | | Starring: Tom Hanks Director: Robert Zemeckis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/25/2005 | | Forrest Gump - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/23/2009 5:09 PM | |
Run, Forrest, run! It sure seemed great at the time, but Gump is aging, and it's starting to show a wrinkle or too. Recently I sat down to watch the double-disc DVD release, and I still found it fresh and smile-provoking, but boy if it isn't a sickly sweet experience. But what a crazy chain of events Forrest Gump has spawned: a poorly-received book sequel, a restaurant chain, and hordes of imitators -- not to mention a critical backlash. Why? Forrest Gump certainly plays to the sucker inside all of us, a tale of how a person can overcome any obstacle if he only tries hard enough. read the full review | |

 | | 21. Field of Dreams (2-Disc Widescreen Anniversary Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Kevin Costner Director: Phil Alden Robinson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/23/2005 | | Field of Dreams - DVD Review By: Mark Athitakis - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/2/2009 5:39 AM | |
Briefly, the plot of Field of Dreams: A thirty-something man hears voices from a Higher Power, abandons his ties to his family, wanders the earth gathering a passel of believers, suffers the mocking laughter of his townspeople but soon redeems himself, and, finally, is reconciled with his father. Say what you want about Kevin Costner, but you can’t say he never played Jesus Christ. In the ‘90s, Costner’s messianic ambitions – his belief that his aw-shucks Everyman demanded an epic canvas to match his bank account – produced some of the worst films ever made. read the full review | |

 | | 22. Curious Case Of Benjamin Button | | | Starring: Brad Pitt Cate Blanchett Director: David Fincher | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/25/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/24/2009 5:36 PM | | Every great filmmaker is allowed one bad film. For David Fincher, his first was his worst. An intelligent director, Fincher cut his teeth on television commercials and music videos before making his feature debut in 1992 with a forgettable and regrettable installment in the Alien franchise. It was all uphill from there. Fincher's next five films arguably are modern classics, each impressively different from its immediate predecessor. Gen X fanboys idolize him for the basement-dwelling aggressions of Fight Club. The director brought flash -- and a needed backbone -- to pulp thrillers like The Game and Panic Room. And cineastes found plenty to appreciate in the meticulous musings of Fincher's cold-case police procedural, Zodiac. read the full review | |

 | | 37. Back To the Future | | | Starring: Michael J. Fox Director: Robert Zemeckis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/10/2009 | | Back to the Future - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/30/2009 4:47 PM | |
A classic adventure that holds up perfectly today aside from a few green-screen gaffes, Back to the Future is a quintessential '80s flick that combines science fiction, action, comedy, and romance all into a perfect little package that kids and adults will both devour. I know I did when I saw this film as a teenager, anxiously wishing I could zip back in time too to stand up to a bully, right some wrongs, and otherwise fix the mistakes that I made... never mind my parents. Michael J. Fox is perfect in the lead role (though the film was original half-shot with Eric Stoltz in the lead), but Christopher Lloyd ("Damn! Damn damn!") steals the show as Doc Brown, whose Delorean time machine enables all the madcap adventures that follow. read the full review | |
