 | | 18. Breach (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Chris Cooper Ryan Phillippe Director: Billy Ray | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 6/12/2007 |  | Breach - DVD By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 6/13/2007 | | Breach focuses on Eric O'Neil (Ryan Phillippe), a young man in the Federal Bureau of Investigations who is pushing to become an agent. Instead of the brash upstart character, O'Neil is portrayed as quite a nice guy. He credits his partners when he submits proposals for upgrades to FBI systems instead of taking all the credit for himself and potentially getting on a faster track. He honestly cares about serving his country, so it is with trepidation that he accepts a new assignment as an office clerk for Robert Hanssen, a former American spy on the Soviet Union. read the full review | |

 | | 19. We Are Marshall (HD) | | | Starring: Matthew McConaughey Director: Joseph McGinty | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 9/18/2007 |  | We Are Marshall - DVD Review By: J.D. McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/24/2007 10:25 PM | | With its footballs slicing through the night air while players with outstretched arms leap in slo-mo anticipation, We Are Marshall's biggest fault is that it brings nothing new to the sports genre. Instead it has the speeches, the team infighting and subsequent re-bonding, the proverbial familial support for the bewildered coaches and of course, the inevitable dependence on the final lob to the end zone for its climactic finale. How many times do we need to see it before it becomes annoying' read the full review | |

 | | 25. American Gangster (HD & DVD Combo) | | | Starring: Denzel Washington Russell Crowe Director: Ridley Scott | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 2/19/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | American Gangster - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/8/2008 5:27 PM | |
There's something dead in Denzel Washington's eyes nearly all of the way through Ridley Scott's American Gangster, which takes what should have been a mesmerizing slice of urban historical grit and grinds it into roughly two hours of standard issue cinema. Washington is playing Frank Lucas, a real-life crime boss who for a period lasting from the late 1960s into the following decade, ran Manhattan "from 110th to 155th, river to river." A real slick character who doesn't need to strut his worth on the street, Lucas hates flash like a junkie hates rehab: It reminds him of all he truly is but doesn't want to be. read the full review | |

 | | 36. Fly Away Home (Special Edition) | | | Starring: Anna Paquin Director: Carroll Ballard | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/21/2004 |  | Fly Away Home - DVD Review By: Bradley Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/27/2009 5:36 PM | |
Anna Paquin's first starring role after stealing an Oscar for The Piano is the harmless family movie Fly Away Home. Following in the footsteps of countless family movies before it, Fly Away Home tries too hard to appeal to both children and their parents and ultimately loses much of its appeal to everybody.
In case you missed the movie's trailer, which provides a nice plot synopsis, Fly Away Home is about a teenage girl (Paquin) from New Zealand who moves in with her Canadian father (Jeff Daniels) after her mother dies. The young girl is utterly bored and lonely until she finds a family of young goose eggs (eventually geese) to take care of. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Grey Gardens | | | Starring: Drew Barrymore Jessica Lange Director: Michael Sucsy | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/14/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Grey Gardens (2009) - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/3/2009 10:48 PM | |
Most serious film fans know the story of Grey Gardens: how documentarians Albert and David Maysles were investigating the life of Jackie Kennedy Onassis's sister Lee Radziwill for a film and stumbled upon the unforgettable duo of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Little Eddie; how it took a year of "convincing" before the women would allow them to film in their manor; how the resulting motion picture turned the plight of these discarded society matrons into the stuff of living legend; and how since the movie's success, the Beales' story has been adapted into books, a Broadway musical, and a stage play. read the full review | |
