Eventually Michael Bay will tire of shooting orgasmically erupting explosions foregrounded by actors running in very, very slow motion, the sheen of heroic sweat on their faces and toned arms highlighted by an always-setting sun. He will tire of stringing together images that are less a story than a chain of ideas for dorm-room posters. The day will come when jamming together toilet humor, shattering machinery, and near-pornographic worship of American techno-military might will hold no more interest. Hopefully that day will come before Transformers 3: You Remember When We Said This Wasn't Over, Optimus Prime? Well, We Were Telling the Truth. Anything's possible. Nobody thought that Woody Allen would ever make a movie outside of New York. read the full review | |

 | | 6. Sweeney Todd (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Johnny Depp Helena Bonham-Carter Director: Tim Burton | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 10/13/2009 | | Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/4/2008 9:44 PM | | Tim Burton is a visionary director. Looking at his body of work from the late 1980s through today, one gets a clear sense of his dark, humorous world view. Burton's films are filled with a sense of the fantastic, the supernatural, and the wondrous. The look of every frame of a Burton film feels as though it has been considered; everything is just where he wanted it to be, the light is perfect, and the colors exact (even if they have to be made exact in post). Unfortunately, there are times when one watches a Burton movie that it feels as though he has sacrificed story for look. Such is the case with the recently released to Blu-ray Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). read the full review | |

 | | 13. Fast & Furious | | | Starring: Michelle Rodriguez Paul Walker Director: Justin Lin | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/28/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Fast and Furious - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/17/2009 4:48 PM | |
Doing its best to further erase whatever pleasant memories (guilty or no) people may still have had from the 2001 original, Fast and Furious reunites The Fast and the Furious cast with much ballyhoo, only to kill one of them off in no time flat and leave viewers fairly unconcerned with what happens to the rest of them. Given that this third sequel is intent on treating the events of the origin film as some sort of holy text, this is probably not the effect that the filmmakers were going for. For the record, Rob Cohen's The Fast and the Furious -- which took the name from a 1955 Roger Corman racing flick, and updated the master's exploitation bent with well-deployed studio gloss -- was a perfectly enjoyable piece of work. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Jet Li-Fearless (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Jet Li Sun Li Director: Ronny Yu | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 | | DVD Review: Jet Li's Fearless By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/18/2006 11:02 AM | | Jet Li's love song to wushu is a very good film. It flirts with the greatness that I hoped it would, but never quite crosses over to the other side. That said, watching it on DVD, I have found myself liking it more than I had when I saw it theatrically. It is a wonderful story of self discovery that had a great impact on a nation. Jet Li has delivered a wonderful film that he hopes encapsulates all that he has hoped to achieve in the genre. It is a highwater mark for martial arts action and drama. read the full review | |

John Tucker Must Die | | | Starring: Jesse Metcalfe Arielle Kebbel | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/12/2007 | | John Tucker Must Die By: Anne Gilbert - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/17/2006 12:32 AM | | John Tucker is a really lucky kid. Not only is he the king of his high school – a real "man's man, ladies' man, man about town" for the under-18 set – but he also has the advantage of being the top dog at the movie version of high school, one filled with an endless stream of hot girls, gobs of money, and no adults in sight. read the full review | |

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 | |
