 | | 1. Twilight (2-Disc Special Edition) | | | Starring: Kristen Stewart Robert Pattinson Director: Catherine Hardwicke | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/20/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Twilight - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/13/2009 5:38 PM | |
Damn you Anne Rice! Even since you introduced that lovelorn supermodel turned bloodsucker Lestat, the vampire has been romanticized all out of proportion. Cold yet compassionate, sexy but spurned, the supposed supernatural monster has gone from corpse to Casanova in the twinkle of a dateless spinster's eye. Now comes Twilight, the latest entry in the continued compromising of the classic Stoker archetype. Aimed directly at the ADD-addled attention span of the average Facebooker, aside from being no fun at all, it stands as one of 2008's most crass commercial statements. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Unborn new! | | | Starring: Gary Oldman Odette Yustman Director: David S. Goyer | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/7/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Unborn - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In a world bereft of rationality, such as that of popular Hollywood, Odette Yustman could play the slightly-younger sister (or, heck, even twin) of somebody like Jessica Alba, and it's fitting that their careers seem to be synching up. Almost a year to the day after Alba started seeing ghosts from a pair of haunted peepers in The Eye, Yustman begins seeing ghosts because -- well, gosh, I don't know why -- in David S. Goyer's sophomore effort as writer/director, The Unborn. Yustman plays Casey Beldon, a college student who suddenly begins seeing scorpions in her eggs, dogs with masks, and all sorts of other crazy things. Her doctor gives her the boring reason: genetic mosaicism, a retinal irregularity usually seen in twins. read the full review | |

 | | 28. Event Horizon (Blu Ray) | | | Starring: Laurence Fishburne Sam Neill Director: Paul Anderson | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 12/30/2008 |  | Event Horizon - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Michael Prince - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 2/23/2009 10:29 PM | | Event Horizon was released in 1997 and was touted as one of the scariest movies you will ever see. While it does not live up to that bold claim, it does have some thrills and a great atmosphere that translates well onto Blu-ray. The futuristic story in Event Horizon centers on a search and rescue ship, the Lewis and Clark, which is sent to recover the recently discovered vessel, the Event Horizon. The Event Horizon is a revolutionary ship that is equipped with an experimental faster than light (FTL) drive. It disappeared on its maiden voyage when the drive was activated and remained missing for seven years. read the full review | |

 | | 30. The Covenant | | | Starring: Toby Hemingway Chace Crawford Director: Renny Harlin | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/22/2008 | User Rating: 4 |  | The Covenant By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2007 11:44 AM | | I cannot begin to account how many cringe-worthy moments there are in the film. But if you make a drinking game out of every horrible, embarrassing line of dialogue, you'll be unconscious before the film is halfway over. Here are a few gems: (Begin drinking now)"Harry Potter can kiss my ass!", "That guy's puking sure came at an opportune time!" and the classic (take two shots)"I'm going to make you my We-otch!!" J.S. Cardone really needs a dialogue filter. I hope he got one at Christmas. read the full review | |
