 | | 3. Superman Returns (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Brandon Routh Director: Bryan Singer | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 11/28/2006 | User Rating: 4 |  | Superman Returns - 2-Disc Special Edition - DVD By: Dan Owen - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/9/2006 7:41 PM | | There's an emotional purity to Superman that no other comic-book property can match (the Jesus Christ allegory isn't an overstatement -- check out the finale), and fans of Superman's legacy will get additional thrills with the numerous in-jokes and references. Above all, Superman Returns swept me up with its performances, effects, engaging story and sense of nostalgia.

 | | 11. Serenity (HD) | | | Starring: Gina Torres Nathan Fillion Director: Joss Whedon | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 8/8/2006 | User Rating: 4.3 | | Serenity - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/10/2007 9:26 PM | |
Somehow, in the wake of Lucas’ CGI evisceration of his own work and overblown space operas like The Chronicles of Riddick, somebody still knows how to put together an outer-space romp that trades just as heavily on quips and character as it does on conflict and explosions. All the better, there’s barely a movie star in sight. The film in question is Serenity, the by-product of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Joss Whedon’s sci-fi series Firefly. Somehow, Whedon convinced Universal to pony up about $45 million to make and show Serenity to multiplex audiences, 95 percent of whom will have never seen the original series, which lasted on Fox for only 11 episodes back in 2002. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Star Trek XI coming soon! | | | Starring: Eric Bana Zachary Quinto Director: Jeffrey Abrams | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 | | Star Trek (2009) - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/6/2009 9:42 PM | |
With one film, J.J. Abrams has made Star Trek younger, flashier, sexier, and funnier than it has been in decades. True, it may also be less intelligent, but Abrams’s reboot more than makes up for it with sheer exhilaration. By altering the franchise's storied past, he ignites a fevered barn-burner that's geared toward today's action junkies but also sets the stage for what could be a long and prosperous future. read the full review | |

 | | 18. 12 Monkeys (HD) | | | Starring: Madeleine Stowe Brad Pitt Director: Terry Gilliam | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 10/24/2006 | | 12 Monkeys - HD DVD Review By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/14/2007 7:48 AM | | 12 Monkeys is still superb sci-fi, engrossing to the end. There’s a wonderful twist in characters as Cole begins to believe he’s crazy and his psychiatrist has to convince him he’s right. Brad Pitt was nominated for an Oscar for his stand-out portrayal of a mental patient.

 | | 22. Bucket List new! | | | Starring: Jack Nicholson Morgan Freeman Director: Rob Reiner | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Bucket List - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/30/2008 4:31 PM | |
There will likely be people out there who will like The Bucket List. They will like its easy-to-follow premise, the hollow and overplayed jokes that occasionally come rumbling along, and the AARP-approved folksiness. And they'll really like Jack Nicholson, mugging for the camera as though terrified people will forget that he's still that same devilish old scamp he's been for longer than most moviegoers have been alive. This is not to say that the reason The Bucket List is a terrible film is because there are so many people out there predisposed to liking it. read the full review | |

 | | 32. 40 Year Old Virgin (Unrated) (HD) | | | Starring: Catherine Keener Steven Carell Director: Judd Apatow | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 5/22/2007 | | The 40 Year-Old Virgin - DVD Review By: Josh Tyler - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/31/2007 12:31 PM | | From the title you'd think The 40 Year-Old Virgin is a movie about sex, and yes that's certainly a part of it. But at its core, Virgin is really about friendship. The friendship between Andy and the other guys at SmartTech is the heart of this film, but when it starts out Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) is a loner. He's not a loser really, he's simply living a quiet, lonely life. He fills his time with hobbies like videogames and action figure collection and why not, he has nothing better to do. He's alone, but he's not miserable. Not exactly. But in a way it's only because he doesn't know what he's missing. read the full review | |

 | | 35. Up (4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack) new! | | | Director: Peter Docter | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | Up - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/10/2009 4:23 PM | | With the kind of winning streak that Pixar’s got going for it, it’s almost impossible to temper expectations before experiencing their latest film. As of yet, it’s also unnecessary; the studio’s combination of technical wizardry and masterful storytelling has produced a remarkable string of films that have achieved commercial success and critical acclaim with equal universality. Far be it from Pixar’s tenth feature, Up, to break the mold, and indeed, it’s one of the studio’s most touching and accomplished works to date. Not many could’ve spun gold from a story with a cranky octogenarian as its protagonist, but Pixar never panders with its storytelling, and that ends up creating a piece of art that effectively touches all ages on different emotional levels. read the full review | |
