While fans and naysayers constantly complain about what he's done to a certain galaxy far, far away, few remember another beloved franchise that George Lucas adopted and then left for dead. In 1986, the writer/director/producer was riding high on the success of his Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. Looking for new material to milk, he came across the beloved Marvel Comic character Howard the Duck. Hiring his buddies from American Graffiti, Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, Lucas hoped that he could jumpstart a new series starring the angry, angst-ridden anthropomorphized mallard. What he got instead was one of the worst big screen bungles ever -- and it's still quite bad some 22 years later. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Iron Man Ultimate Edition (Blu-Ray/2 Discs) | | | Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow Robert Downey Director: Jon Favreau | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 9/30/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Iron Man - Blu-Ray Review By: J.D. McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/1/2008 8:12 PM | | Iron Man is a film that comic book junkies will no doubt love, but it also appeals to those who generally shy away from the superhero genre because it retains a relevance to the world we live in today. War, weapons and terrorism are all hot-button issues surging through the daily news, and Iron Man definitely has a contribution to make to that discussion. read the full review | |

 | | 22. El Dorado | | | Starring: James Caan Robert Mitchum Director: Howard Hawks | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 | | El Dorado - DVD Review By: Paul Brenner - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/16/2009 11:40 PM | |
Howard Hawks's penultimate film is a canny reshuffling of his own Rio Bravo as he performs a loose and extended mediation on his favorite themes of loyalty and professionalism. John Wayne plays Cole Thornton, a gun for hire claiming a job with a land-grabbing cattle baron (Ed Asner). Cole accepts the job until he finds out that his old pal J.P. Harrah (Robert Mitchum, in one of his finest late career performances) is the town sheriff. Cole switches sides but not before being shot by a put-upon rancher's daughter, Joey (Michele Carey), who thinks Cole is still working for Jason. With the bullet lodged near his spine, Cole rejects a risky operation and leaves town looking for work. read the full review | |

 | | 31. Bolt (3-Disc Set Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy) | | | Director: Chris Williams Byron Howard | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 3/20/2009 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Bolt (2008) - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/19/2009 10:10 AM | | It only takes a few minutes in front of Bolt to realize that despite the fact that Disney owns Pixar, the Pixar magic hasn't quite rubbed off on the folks at the Mouse House. But really, was anyone actually expecting something on par with WALL·E? Putting the brilliance that is Pixar out of sight and mind for 90 minutes will go a long way in aiding your enjoyment of Bolt, a pleasant film experience that’s hardly remarkable, but notable for being the first Disney feature to be conceived entirely in 3-D. read the full review | |
