 | | 6. Street Fighter-Legend of Chun-Li (Rated & Unrated 2-Disc Edition) new! | | | Starring: Chris Klein Kristin Kreuk Director: Andrzej Bartkowiak | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/30/2009 |  | Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li - DVD Review By: Brian Chen - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/22/2009 10:44 PM | |
Sorry, folks -- the star of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is not the mouth-drippingly voluptuous lead actress Kristin Kreuk. It's actually supporting actor Chris Klein, who may very well be our next Keanu Reeves. Klein must have flash-kicked himself in the brain, because his acting is so outrageously horrid and emotionally vapid he inspires unsolicited laughter. In fact, if Klein had more airtime in the movie, I might have sat through the whole thing. That's right: I walked out (after an hour). And this is the only movie I've walked out of my entire life.

 | | 16. Payback | | | Starring: Mel Gibson Director: Brian Helgeland | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/6/2008 | | Payback - Straight Up: the Director's Cut - DVD By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 4/4/2007 11:28 PM | | The original advertising campaign for Payback was "Get Ready to Root For the Bad Guy," and with good reason. None of the characters in Brian Helgeland's adaptation of Donald Westlake's novel The Hunter are good guys. Even the film's protagonist, Porter (Mel Gibson) is rough around the edges. Actually, that's putting things lightly. The thug isn't above beating the crap out of women, let alone smashing faces and taking on a crime syndicate read the full review | |

 | | 19. Frank Miller's Sin City (Dts) | | | Starring: Mickey Rourke Bruce Willis Director: Frank Miller Robert Rodriguez | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/1/2006 | | Sin City - DVD Review By: Eric Meyerson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/10/2009 5:36 PM | |
You typically have to maintain low expectations for a comic book movie. For every Spider-Man, you get a bunch of Elektras and Daredevils. So really, what can you expect from one with a huge, B-list cast and three directors? Surprise! Sin City is a mega-violent, highly potent vial of noir crack. And judging from the riotous burst of applause at the end of our screening, one that's destined to be a Matrix-style mass-cult classic. Okay, so Sin City isn't really a comic book movie – it's a graphic novel movie. And in spite of the title, the locale isn't the tourist-friendly and brightly-lit Vegas strip but "Basin City," a noir Nowheresville, a mid-century L.A. with snow flurries and dark sewers, enveloped in permanent midnight. read the full review | |

 | | 28. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Helena Bonham-Carter Johnny Depp Director: Tim Burton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/27/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/24/2008 2:14 AM | |
Quite possibly the strangest holiday release since Miramax rolled out its bloodsucking Dracula update in December 2000, Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street reproduces Stephen Sondheim's moody musical as a theatrically macabre vengeance play that gleefully soaks its numbers in gallons of gooey, red stage blood. It's a mesmerizing mess of a film that alternates its high notes with blatant missteps. Yet for all its unmistakable faults, it casts such a complete spell that I'm chomping at the bit to see it again (and again). Where other studios might have demanded proven singers for the parts, Paramount (bravely?) permits Burton to practice extreme nepotism. read the full review | |
