 | | 5. Ugly Truth new! | | | Starring: Gerard Butler Katherine Heigl Director: Robert Luketic | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 |  | The Ugly Truth - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Chelsea Doyle - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/17/2009 4:53 PM | | It's always interesting when a film gets universally panned by critics and yet makes a crazy amount of money at the box office. Sometimes this is because the film just had a big first weekend before anyone heard the word of mouth reviews, but sometimes it is genuinely because mainstream audiences loved it and ignored the critics altogether. The Ugly Truth is a classic example. It came out in July and got hit hard by critics, but it made almost $200 million dollars in theaters. Could it be because of the widespread appeal of stars Katherine Heigl and Gerald Butler? Or that sometimes critics can be snotty and expect romcoms to be more than they are? Whatever the reason, the film will most likely do just as well now that it is out on DVD and Blu-ray. It's not hard to understand why. read the full review | |

 | | 7. Heartbreak Kid (HD) | | | Starring: Ben Stiller Director: Bobby Farrelly Peter Farrelly | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 1/8/2008 |  | The Heartbreak Kid - DVD Review By: Jarad I. Wilk - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/6/2008 9:49 PM | | The Heartbreak Kid reunites Stiller with the whacky minds of the Farrelly Brothers, the creators of the 1998 smash-hit There's Something About Mary. The gross-out, unpredictable and off-the-wall humor of the Farrelly's is still present, but the heart that always seems to find its way into their movies is nowhere to be found. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Secondhand Lions (Platinum Series) | | | Starring: Michael Caine Robert Duvall Director: Tim McCanlies | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/12/2006 | User Rating: 5 |  | Secondhand Lions - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/20/2009 6:42 PM | |
Like a similar creature that patrols a certain Yellow Brick Road, Tim McCanlies’ Secondhand Lions is in dire need of a shot of courage. It’s scary to think of how much better this king of the jungle could’ve been had it possessed the sharp teeth of its animal namesake and took a serious bite out of the plump themes of family greed, lost love and misspent youth. What we’re left with are recycled kitten swipes taken by a family-friendly charmer that’s content to coast by on the casting coup of landing Michael Caine and Robert Duvall under one cinematic roof. read the full review | |

 | | 13. Music And Lyrics (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Drew Barrymore Director: Mark Lawrence | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 |  | Music and Lyrics - DVD By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/10/2007 12:55 PM | | The best parts of Music and Lyrics are Hugh Grant's witty one-liners about life as a formerly famous 80's pop star. As Drew Barrymore pitches him set-up lines he knocks them out of the park one after the other. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie doesn't quite match up to Grant's comic performance. We've seen this all before and by the time the final kiss rolls around, we're already moving our minds onto something else. read the full review | |
