 | | 3. Planes Trains and Automobiles | | | Starring: John Candy Steve Martin Director: John Hughes | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/22/2005 | User Rating: 5 |  | Planes, Trains and Automobiles - DVD Review By: Pete Croatto - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/9/2009 11:09 PM | |
In 1987 John Hughes took a huge risk. The man who had spent three years profiling the lives of teenagers did the unthinkable: He wrote and directed two movies featuring adults: She’s Having a Baby and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. She’s Having a Baby is a pleasant comedy, but PTA is an absolute gem and one of the 1980s' most overlooked movies, a mixture of human drama and dizzying goofiness that qualifies it for timeless status. I should know. A co-worker and I continually quote lines from this 17-year-old movie. At this point we could audition for a remake. read the full review | |

 | | 10. My Cousin Vinny | | | Starring: Marisa Tomei Joe Pesci Director: Jonathan Lynn | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/22/2008 | | My Cousin Vinny - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/24/2009 7:48 PM | |
The comedy My Cousin Vinny is, more or less, a fish-out-of-water story involving a newly-certified Brooklyn attorney's attempts to keep his young cousin (Ralph Macchio) and his friend (Mitchell Whitfield) out of the electric chair when they are wrongly accused of murdering a gas-station clerk while on a road trip through Alabama. The attorney of the title, played with verve and nice timing by Joe Pesci, has a hellcat fiancee named Mona Lisa (Marisa Tomei) and they fight constantly. Together, they are unkempt, generally without class and generally substitute all adjectives with curse words. A few decades earlier, they would have been played by Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. read the full review | |

 | | 17. Dumb and Dumber (Unrated Platinum Series-Dts) coming soon! | | | Starring: Jim Carrey Jeff Daniels Director: Peter Farrelly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/8/2009 | | Dumb and Dumber - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/28/2008 7:33 PM | |
When exactly we became obsessed with diarrhea and premature ejaculation can never really be pinpointed, but Peter and Bobby Farrelly are prime suspects. He was more than happy to shovel the laughs that come from every humiliation, every bodily function and every unnatural act in the book, and why the hell not? We loved it in the '90s and we love it even more today. More than ever, we have Dumb and Dumber to blame for being a spark that ignited a flaming fart of laughter.

 | | 22. Tommy Boy (Blu Ray) | | | Starring: Chris Farley David Spade Director: Peter Segal | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 12/16/2008 | | Tommy Boy - Holy Schnike Edition - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Robert M. Barga - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/9/2008 6:56 PM | | Tommy Boy, one of the funniest movies of the '90s, has come out in a brand new format. Thirteen years after its initial release, the movie is finally available in Blu-ray High Definition and comes packed with extra features to make it worthwhile. The film, which only got a 46% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, has amassed a cult following giving it an 83% from the community. The combination of three talented comedic actors (David Spade, Chris Farley, and Dan Aykroyd) makes this an absolutely hilarious movie. The audience also fell in love with the character of the self-depreciating fat man. The Tommy Boy Blu-ray releases on December 16, just in time for Christmas shopping. read the full review | |

 | | 26. Race To Witch Mountain | | | Starring: Alexander Ludwig AnnaSophia Robb Director: Andy Fickman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/4/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Race to Witch Mountain - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/24/2009 7:48 PM | |
The '70s were not a good time for Disney. Not only were their animated "masterworks" failing to live up to their flawless ancestry, but their live action efforts -- Super Dad, Castaway Cowboy -- were truly testing audience patience. In 1975, British director John Hough, responsible for the genre hit The Legend of Hell House, was hired to adapt Alexander Key's 1968 novel Escape to Witch Mountain into a feature film. The story of two children possessing paranormal powers, and the extraterrestrial origins of said skills, became one of the company's few hits of the day. read the full review | |
