 | | 4. 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 | |

 | | 11. Clerks II | | | Starring: Brian O'Halloran Jeff Anderson Director: Kevin Smith | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/27/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Clerks II By: Joel Meares - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/22/2006 8:52 PM | | Kevin Smith is a deceptively good filmmaker. Often criticized for a filmic paralysis that has seen his style advance very little from the amateurish and unpolished production of the original Clerks, he has maintained a very plain and unaffected style of storytelling that serves him and us very well. In Clerks II, the plainness of his production lends the film an effortlessness and reality that compounds the humor of Smith's script and underscores the banality of the world he captures. read the full review | |

 | | 33. Dumb and Dumber (Unrated Platinum Series-Dts) | | | Starring: Jim Carrey Jeff Daniels Director: Peter Farrelly | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/4/2007 |  | Dumb and Dumber - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/28/2008 7:33 PM | |
When exactly we became obsessed with diarrhea and premature ejaculation can never really be pinpointed, but Peter and Bobby Farrelly are prime suspects. He was more than happy to shovel the laughs that come from every humiliation, every bodily function and every unnatural act in the book, and why the hell not? We loved it in the '90s and we love it even more today. More than ever, we have Dumb and Dumber to blame for being a spark that ignited a flaming fart of laughter.

 | | 43. Never Back Down | | | Starring: Amber Heard Djimon Hounsou Director: Jeff Wadlow | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/29/2008 |  | Never Back Down - DVD Review By: Blake French - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/18/2008 5:45 PM | |
As Jake has an emotional breakdown and reveals his inner demons, his mentor listens with an attentive ear... as he browses the shelves for lettuce. That's right, the pivotal scene of Never Back Down takes place in the produce aisle of a grocery store. Did the filmmakers think audiences would take this movie seriously when the drama peaks as the characters are shopping for spinach and romaine? Effective drama can happen in a grocery store. Many priceless movie moments have taken place in unexpected locations. But Never Back Down doesn't bring earnestness and truth to this scene; it just feels awkward and clueless. There's also a scene where Jake breaks out his newly learned karate moves when a car behind him honks at a stop sign. read the full review | |
