 | | 3. Fountain (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Rachel Weisz Director: Darren Aronofsky | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | The Fountain - DVD By: Daniel J. Stasiewski - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/14/2007 1:36 PM | | The film is one that spans a millennium. From the story of a Spanish conquistador (Hugh Jackman) sent to the Mayan territories in search for the Tree of Life to a narrative involving a man (Jackman again) traveling to a nebula in search of the Mayan underworld, the film’s ambitious scale is unbelievable. Yet the romance at the center of it all, a contemporary love story about a research scientist (once again, Jackman) trying to cure cancer to save his dying wife (Rachel Weisz), grounds the film. The combination results in revelations and heartbreaking truths about mankind.

Heroes-Season 1 | | | Starring: Adrian Pasdar Ali Larter | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/28/2007 | User Rating: 5 |  | Heroes - Season 1 - DVD Review By: Kelly West - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2007 8:53 PM | | What creator Tim Kring has done with the series shows that he recognizes that TV is a very different medium than film. Obviously, a TV series has to have a story compelling enough to carry the show through a 20-something episodes. Unlike a movie, which is only a couple of hours long, a TV series needs to find a balance between delivering regular conclusions so that the viewers feel satisfied, while also setting up new twists and developments, which will keep the viewers wanting to come back. read the full review | |

 | | 20. Star Trek VIII: First Contact | | | Starring: Brent Spiner Patrick Stewart Director: Jonathan Frakes | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/22/2009 |  | Star Trek: First Contact - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/11/2009 5:42 PM | |
People tend to measure the quality of a Star Trek movie in relation to those near it in the cycle. Compared to episodes before (5 and 7) and those that followed (9 and 10), this eighth installment of the unkillable series is surprisingly watchable. Jonthan "Riker" Frakes is at the helm this time, taking the Next Generation crew on its first mission without the original series cast. The setup comes fast, as Frakes trots out one of the series' most reliable villains: The Borg. Building from the mythology set up in the series, Picard (a former Borg captive) has a serious axe to grind, and when Starfleet ends up in a skirmish with an invading Borg ship, he defies orders and engages them in battle. read the full review | |

This is the one with the whales. That's right. The Romulans and Klingons are put aside for one episode in order to create an enemy from a faraway world, suggesting that humpback whales are not native to earth -- that they're an alien species that communicates with the whales of earth through some unknown method. When the space whales haven't heard from their earthbound pals (we're told they were driven to extinction centuries in the movie's past), they decide to pay a visit. The unintended consequence is the destruction of the power systems of everything in its path. read the full review | |

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.

Williams - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/24/2007 9:28 AM | | Beginning with a horrific bombing of the New Orleans Canal Street Ferry, Déjà Vu is a visually intense movie. Reminiscent somewhat of the sci-fi plot, images and film techniques of Spielberg’s Minority Report, Tony Scott employs a combination of a high definition Genesis, Time Track, and Lydar cameras to create Déjà Vu. read the full review | |
