 | | 17. Braveheart | | | Starring: Mel Gibson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/18/2007 |  | Braveheart - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/21/2009 2:42 PM | |
Mel Gibson deserves a lot more credit than I've been giving him. A few years ago, no one could have conceived that the action star could pull off the lead role in a dazzling, epic, historical adventure-thriller-romance, let alone direct it. But he does, making Braveheart a vastly entertaining and powerful film. Gibson plays Scottish hero William Wallace, a Scotsman with simple roots who finds himself thrust into a role as leader of the Scottish revolt against England in the late 13th century. After the despicable King Edward the Longshanks (Edward I) decrees that English nobles will have the right to sexual relations with all newly-wed Scottish women, the revolution is set in motion. read the full review | |

 | | 46. Bird-Film By Clint Eastwood | | | Starring: Forest Whitaker Director: Clint Eastwood | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/22/2008 |  | Bird - DVD Review By: Katey Rich - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 7/25/2008 10:10 AM | | The film's pitch-black, occasionally murky cinematography makes for rough viewing on a small television, but would be a treat for anyone looking for the way Eastwood's distinct visual style has evolved over the years (and who has a substantial home theater setup). Bird is a classic example of a difficult, arty movie-it was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes-but offers much to enjoy, especially for those with any knowledge of jazz read the full review | |
