 | | 4. Bruno new! | | | Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen Director: Larry Charles | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/17/2009 |  | Brüno - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/18/2009 8:31 AM | | Following the hit Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen returns with a third character from Da Ali G Show – Brüno. Brüno is a gay Austrian fashion reporter who is fired after disrupting a Milan Fashion week catwalk. His lover then leaves him for another man, and Brüno decides to come to America to become a superstar. He tries unsuccessfully to become an actor and creates an over-the-top talk show, which the focus group hates. During the film he attempts to interview Harrison Ford, who is nastier than has ever been seen before, but he succeeds in interviewing Paula Abdul and other celebrities, as well as various senators. He also tries to make his name as a peace negotiator for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with less than spectacular results. read the full review | |

 | | 11. Once | | | Starring: Glen Hansard Marketa Irglova Director: John Carney | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 |  | Once - DVD Review By: Katey Rich - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/15/2007 1:22 PM | | The tiny-budget Irish musical Once became a surprise hit over the summer, grossing $9 million and making stars out of its main actors, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. A romance that clocks in at 83 minutes, it's a story so simple that its main characters don't even have names; they are referred to in the credits as "The Guy" and "The Girl." Still, Once features charm and talent to spare, and with nine wonderful original songs, a killer soundtrack to boot. read the full review | |

Borat (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen Director: Larry Charles | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/6/2007 | User Rating: 4.2 |  | Borat - DVD By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/9/2007 9:47 AM | | Nearly every segment works as Sacha Baron Cohen’s character travels the country in search of Pamela Anderson, all while filming a “documentary” about America for his impossible to spell country, Kazakhstan. He meets all kinds of Americans: those who threaten him, those who enjoy his company, and a few who arrest him. read the full review | |

 | | 22. Religulous | | | Director: Larry Charles | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/15/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Religulous - DVD Review By: Rich Knight - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 2/24/2009 6:46 PM | | Bill Maher is a genius. No matter what you might have thought of Politically Incorrect or what you currently think of Real Time With Bill Maher, he's a genius, and this is not something I ever thought before watching this movie. The brilliant thing about this documentary, which, as noted in the commentary (more on that later), was NOT included in the Academy's list of best docs of last year, is that it manages to give a clear, defining point against religion and still be completely entertaining. I attribute that to Maher's capability to not be malicious about his beliefs, and to talk to intelligent, passionate, and undoubtably kind people who are willing to put their faith on the line and talk to (And I'm serious about this) a modern day Socrates; one who doesn't pull any punches and most importantly, asks the key question of, "Just how do really you know'" It's the responses that he gets from that question that make this movie stand head over shoulders over any other answer-seeking doc in the past five years or so. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Drumline | | | Starring: Nick Cannon Director: Charles Stone | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/17/2009 |  | Drumline - DVD Review By: David Levine - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/18/2008 7:23 PM | | The film centers around Devon (Nick Cannon), a freshman recruited to attend Atlanta AandT University on a full ride scholarship to play in the school’s marching band. He’s an overachiever with a chip on his shoulder who thinks he knows everything about playing the drums. At tryouts, which look more like boot camp, Devon disrespects his band director Dr. Aaron Lee (Orlando Jones) by refusing to participate with the rest of the group. A power struggle soon ensues between Devon and his drumline section leader Sean (Leonard Roberts) who feels the freshman’s talent threatens his position at the top of the food chain. read the full review | |
