 | | 1. Appaloosa new! | | | Starring: Renée Zellweger Viggo Mortensen Director: Ed Harris | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Appaloosa - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/2/2009 4:44 PM | |
Unlike its immediate predecessors, which have retooled (Unforgiven), remade (3:10 To Yuma), revered (Open Range), and re-imagined (The Proposition) the genre, Ed Harris' Appaloosa is simply content being a good Western. It's unapologetic of its formula, unwilling to waver in its characterizations, and unhurried in its pace. It tells a story you've heard before -- more than once -- but it handles its business with rugged aplomb. That ought to be enough. But for some reason, it isn't. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Family Guy-Vo7 | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 |  | Family Guy, Volume 7 - DVD Review By: The Masked Movie Snobs - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/20/2009 3:25 PM | | To be honest here, I have just gotten into this show a little over nine months ago, before then I tried but it never seemed to click. It took a few episodes, along with the Trix Rabbit pulling some Bruce Lee moves to get some cereal, to get to really see the genius behind the drawings. I’m not yet a regular viewer so getting a chance to review this three-disc set was an offer I couldn’t pass up. I have to admit there are still times when I find myself wondering about the joke that just passed over my head, but there are those rare moments that send me into a roar with tears pouring out of my eyes while my stomach hurts from laughing so hard I can’t breath. read the full review | |

 | | 10. On the Road With Charles Kuralt-Set 1 new! | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/27/2009 |  | On The Road With Charles Kuralt - DVD Review By: Greg Barbrick - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 10/14/2009 10:42 AM | | Beginning in 1967, On The Road With Charles Kuralt ran for an unprecedented quarter century. The show elevated Charles Kuralt into a beloved national icon, and won a slew of awards. The premise of On The Road was deceptively simple. Kuralt and his crew traveled the United States in a motor home, looking for interesting, offbeat stories. Over the course of 25 years, On The Road hit all 50 states, and managed to go through six motor homes. All told, the show produced over 500 segments. This three-disc set marks the first appearance of On The Road on DVD. read the full review | |

While visiting the to-be in-laws in Alaska, however, these faux-betrotheds soon find themselves questioning their true feelings and the sincerity of this proposal. read the full review | |

 | | 21. Simpsons Season 12 | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/18/2009 |  | The Simpsons - The Twelfth Season - DVD Review By: Nick Venable - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/23/2009 5:50 PM | | It's a season where Marge finally develops more of a sense of humor, even in shows where she's not involved in the plot. A perfect example of this fuddy-duddiness comes in one episode when a waitress hands her a tall glass of Long Island Iced Tea, and Marge, giggling, remarks, "Ooh, they should call this a Large Island Iced Tea." And everyone else deadpans. It's a stupid joke on page, but works really well with Julie Kavner's voicework. read the full review | |

 | | 36. History of Violence (Platinum Series) new! | | | Starring: Viggo Mortensen William Hurt Director: David Cronenberg | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | A History of Violence - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/30/2009 4:47 PM | |
Those well schooled in the history of cinema (or who’ve just seen a movie or two in their time) cannot help but look at the scenes of idyllic content occupying most of the beginning of A History of Violence without knowing that something bad is coming to bust up this happy family unit. Of course, they’re helped along by the fact that the film opens on a chillingly calm scene – composed almost entirely of one tracking shot – in which a pair of laconic crooks on the lam execute a number of people in a small motel with about as much emotion as they’d use to pick up their dry cleaning. read the full review | |

It's one of those rare movies that is so delightful, I wanted to start watching it again as soon as the movie was over with, just to enjoy watching it again. read the full review | |

Tournament | | | Starring: Alain Goulem | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/30/2007 |  | The Tournament - DVD By: Tim Gebhart - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 2/21/2007 1:17 AM | | This wonderful CBC Television mock documentary series on youth hockey shows the humor and irony in sports parents. Sports are often seen as something that can transcend national and cultural boundaries. The Tournament, a mock documentary series that ran on CBC Television in 2004 and 2005, proves there's something else that also may be universal — hockey parents. read the full review | |
