 | | 9. Valkyrie | | | Starring: Tom Cruise Director: Bryan Singer | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 2 |  | Valkyrie (Single-Disc Edition) - DVD Review By: Emily McDonald - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/31/2009 1:27 PM | | Cruise plays good guy, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a German officer plotting to assassinate Hitler. After getting blown up in the opening, Stauffenberg is forced to wear an eye-patch for the rest of the film, a wardrobe necessity that mars Cruise's effortless beauty and no doubt creates an impediment to his acting. Regardless, Cruise shines in his first meaty role in years. He's completely believable as a German Colonel with intense faith in "Sacred Germany". read the full review | |

 | | 10. Lost-4th Season | | | Starring: Dominic Monaghan Evangeline Lilly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/9/2008 | User Rating: 4 |  | Lost - The Complete Fourth Season - DVD Review By: Arlo J. Wiley - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/9/2008 11:01 PM | |
The excellence of Lost certainly hasn't gone unrecognized, however. This year, it was nominated for the Outstanding Drama Series Emmy for the first time since its freshman year. That's how good season four is. In fact, the only misstep is the convoluted, confused "The Other Woman," and even that isn't what you would call a bad episode. There are no creative failures here, only triumphs. It's as strong a season of television as any I've ever seen. read the full review | |

 | | 36. 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 | |

 | | 38. Underworld:rise Of The Lycans | | | Starring: Michael Sheen Rhona Mitra Director: Patrick Tatopoulos | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
Upon first description, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans appears completely unnecessary, even for one of the Underworld movies, which, like the Resident Evil pictures, are well-practiced in the art of spinning inessential straw into inessential off-season box-office gold. Rise of the Lycans is a prequel, seeking to explain in greater detail the mythology-heavy plot turns discussed so endlessly in the very first Underworld movie: How and why vampires and werewolves came to so loathe each other. The reasons, it turns out, are not dissimilar to what I faintly recall as the central conflict from the first film: a vampire named Sonja (Rhona Mitra) is in love with a lycan called Lucian (Michael Sheen). read the full review | |
