 | | 4. Underworld:rise Of The Lycans | | | Starring: Michael Sheen Rhona Mitra Director: Patrick Tatopoulos | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - DVD Review By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
Upon first description, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans appears completely unnecessary, even for one of the Underworld movies, which, like the Resident Evil pictures, are well-practiced in the art of spinning inessential straw into inessential off-season box-office gold. Rise of the Lycans is a prequel, seeking to explain in greater detail the mythology-heavy plot turns discussed so endlessly in the very first Underworld movie: How and why vampires and werewolves came to so loathe each other. The reasons, it turns out, are not dissimilar to what I faintly recall as the central conflict from the first film: a vampire named Sonja (Rhona Mitra) is in love with a lycan called Lucian (Michael Sheen). read the full review | |

 | | 11. Frank Miller's Sin City (Dts) | | | Starring: Mickey Rourke Bruce Willis Director: Frank Miller Robert Rodriguez | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/1/2006 | | Sin City - DVD Review By: Eric Meyerson - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/10/2009 5:36 PM | |
You typically have to maintain low expectations for a comic book movie. For every Spider-Man, you get a bunch of Elektras and Daredevils. So really, what can you expect from one with a huge, B-list cast and three directors? Surprise! Sin City is a mega-violent, highly potent vial of noir crack. And judging from the riotous burst of applause at the end of our screening, one that's destined to be a Matrix-style mass-cult classic. Okay, so Sin City isn't really a comic book movie it's a graphic novel movie. And in spite of the title, the locale isn't the tourist-friendly and brightly-lit Vegas strip but "Basin City," a noir Nowheresville, a mid-century L.A. with snow flurries and dark sewers, enveloped in permanent midnight. read the full review | |

 | | 30. Alpha Dog (Fullscreen) | | | Starring: Emile Hirsch Justin Timberlake Director: Nick Cassavetes | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/5/2009 | | Alpha Dog - DVD By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 4/25/2007 10:06 PM | | There's not a single grammatical reason to use the F-bomb more than twice in one sentence, and these guys are spitting them out like watermelon seeds. If there was some more tweaking on the script side of things these young boys could have looked less like posers and more like gangsters. read the full review | |

 | | 43. 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 | |
