 | | 9. Home Alone | | | Starring: Macaulay Culkin Director: Chris Columbus | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/6/2009 |  | Home Alone - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2008 4:31 PM | |
Back in 1990, Home Alone was a movie sensation. Believe it or not, it earned more than $285 million during its theatrical release, more than Monsters, Inc., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Incredibles. While those films will surely endure, Home Alone has since turned into the butt of numerous jokes. Indeed, Home Alone is now the fallback film for anyone looking to pinpoint the decline of cinema as art. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Heat (Blu-Ray) new! | | | Starring: Robert De Niro Al Pacino Director: Michael Mann | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | Heat - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: David R Perry - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/11/2009 7:51 AM | | Much was made of the mythic pairing of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Heat. To the point where you wondered if people paid as much attention to the film itself as to fulfilling some fanboy wish for the ultimate action movie cast. But it's almost that too; it's both a good film and an acting tour de force. And it's also a key catalog release that is now finally available in high definition. Heat is the story of two career businessmen. One just happens to be a cop, while the other is an expert criminal. But they are both in a similar emotional state. Both are married to their jobs, both have difficulty sacrificing that to build meaningful relationships, and despite the fact that they would both like to change those aspects of their lives, they feel incapable of doing so. read the full review | |

 | | 15. Heat | | | Starring: Robert De Niro Val Kilmer Director: Michael Mann | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/4/2007 | | Heat - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/30/2009 11:42 PM | |
I hate to condone the making of 3-hour long movies, but Heat is one in which you're not going to fall asleep. Comparisons to Casino are going to be inevitable, with both hitting the 180-minute mark and starring Robert De Niro as a crook, but unlike that film, Heat manages to keep the interest level high throughout the whole picture. Heat is the instantly gripping tale of a large-scale heist leader and die-hard loner named Neil McCauley (De Niro). As the film opens, he and his team of brutal, precision thieves (including Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore) knock over (literally) an armored car for a stash of bearer bonds. On the case is Detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), a troubled, angst-ridden veteran of the LAPD. read the full review | |

 | | 26. Bicycle Thieves (Criterion Collection) | | | Starring: Enzo Staiola Director: Vittorio De Sica | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/13/2007 | | Bicycle Thieves - DVD By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/8/2007 12:34 AM | |
Few films have had their titles put under such intense scrutiny as Vittorio De Sica's 1948 neo-realist masterpiece. Originally, the translated title was simply The Bicycle Thief, referencing the perpetrator of the film's titular crime. However, later digging and arbitration led to it being called The Bicycle Thieves or just Bicycle Thieves, which references more to the fact the social realism, poverty and desperation that most of the men in Italy felt at the time. Ostensibly, it meant that we are all bicycle thieves, and we are all capable of doing heartless things to maintain one's own way of life. read the full review | |
