 | | 6. Home Alone | | | Starring: Macaulay Culkin Director: Chris Columbus | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/2/2007 |  | 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 | |

 | | 11. Robin Hood-Prince of Thieves | | | Starring: Kevin Costner Director: Kevin Reynolds | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/14/2004 | User Rating: 3.5 | | Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - DVD Review By: James Brundage - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/15/2009 5:40 PM | |
I have to say that I probably have seen the parody of this film more times than I have seen the movie itself. Somehow, through quirks of fate (namely, a WPST-NJ promotion), I got a free copy of the tape of Robin Hood: Men in Tights and have put up with watching it time after time. So, in the sense of cosmic justice, I figured I should actually watch the movie that spawned the film that has given me so many laughs that it probably didn't deserve. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is yet another example of Hollywood taking a famous story and making it Hollywood-compliant. read the full review | |

 | | 15. To Catch a Thief 2 Discs Centennial Collection | | | Starring: Grace Kelly Cary Grant Director: Alfred Hitchcock | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 | | To Catch A Thief - Centennial Collection (1955) - DVD Review By: El Bicho - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/8/2009 3:46 AM | | Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief is his first film shot in the short-lived widescreen format VitsaVision, his second film shot for Paramount, and the only one that the studio still owns and controls. It finds the director covering very familiar territory, both thematically as it deals with an innocent man trying to clear his name and interpersonally as Hitch had previously worked with actors Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, and John Williams, screenwriter John Michael Hayes, and cinematographer Robert Burks who won an Academy Award for this film. read the full review | |

 | | 26. Clockwork Orange-Special Edition (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Malcolm McDowell Director: Stanley Kubrick | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 10/23/2007 | User Rating: 5 | | A Clockwork Orange: Two-Disc Special Edition - DVD Review By: Felix Vasquez Jr. - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/20/2007 3:54 AM | | Stanley Kubrick set forth a zeitgeist upon which all future gang warfare films would be based on. Which is surprising considering A Clockwork Orange is not about gang warfare at all. It's a science fiction thriller about a predator of humanity who gets a taste of his own medicine a hundred fold once he is rehabilitated into a docile animal of society. Alex DeLarge, almost like Scarface, has become a considerable icon for the neo-sixties chic society of pop culture that has embraced his image of a derby, cane, and accentuated lashes. read the full review | |

 | | 29. To Catch a Thief | | | Starring: Cary Grant Grace Kelly Director: Alfred Hitchcock | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/17/2006 | | To Catch a Thief - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/27/2007 7:26 PM | |
Alfred Hitchcock went a little soft in 1955, giving Cary Grant a largely throwaway role as a reformed cat burglar living incognito in the south of France. Hitch would really put Grant through the ringer in 1959's North by Northwest. Here, though, Grant's enjoying a day in the sun -- and night -- as he tries to track down the villain that's giving him a bad name. You see, John Robie (Grant) is retired. But some young upstart is stealing his M.O. -- and the new cat's eyes are on Robie's new would-be girlfriend, Frances (Grace Kelly), and her mom (Jessie Royce Landis). read the full review | |

 | | 33. Robocop | | | Starring: Nancy Allen Peter Weller Director: Paul Verhoeven | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/22/2007 | | RoboCop - DVD Review By: Mark Athitakis - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/10/2007 9:26 PM | |
RoboCop was released in 1987, and its the sort of film that looks like it was made by somebody who knew America only from what he read in newspapers. Which may be close to the truth; Dutch director Paul Verhoeven had been living in the U.S. for less than a decade when he made this, his first big-budget Hollywood film. The script gleefully takes on every myth told about the U.S. during the Reagan 80s: Cities are dens of evil and full of constant gunplay, authority has been brought to heel by capitalism, technology has crushed our humanity to atoms, the media destroys the morals of children. read the full review | |
