 | | 7. Re-Animator | | | Starring: Barbara Crampton Bruce Abbott Director: Stuart Gordon | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/20/2007 |  | Re-Animator (Limited Edition) - DVD By: Brian Holcomb - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 3/23/2007 8:18 PM | | This is one of the greatest films ever made. Period. There's no need to be guilty when expressing the great pleasure this film inspires. It's breathless, outrageous, erotic, gory, jaw-dropping, genre-busting,
groundbreaking, ridiculous, shocking, and altogether exhilarating filmmaking. If you somehow missed it or only caught the R rated version produced for Blockbuster, drop that Lord of The Rings DVD you're
going to watch for the 700th time and give this disc a spin. It'll leave you laughing and screaming like a punch-drunk hyena. read the full review | |

The year is 1985. The Cold War rages on. While serving his fifth consecutive term in the Oval Office, President Richard Nixon contemplates nuclear assault against an aggressive Soviet Union. Elsewhere, an egomaniacal villain unleashes a mysterious threat that promises to decimate several of the world's major cities. Help, meanwhile, is not on the way. The masked superheroes who used to protect our crumbling society are in exile, banned by Congress from practicing what's now believed to be vigilante justice. And our nation's top weapon -- a sky-blue, radioactive superbeing nicknamed Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) -- has fled to Mars following a fight with his longtime girlfriend. read the full review | |

 | | 22. Watchmen (Blu-Ray + Digital Copy) | | | Starring: Billy Crudup Jackie Earle Haley Director: Zack Snyder | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 7/21/2009 |  | Watchmen - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Robert M. Barga - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/20/2009 5:10 PM | | It is 1985, America won that war in Vietnam, and Nixon has been elected to his third term. The city of New York is repugnant, with crime, prostitution, and drugs everywhere. In a high-rise in the city of lights, an old man is tossed out of his penthouse. He plummets to the ground, accepts his fate, and dies. Somebody, somewhere, is killing off superheroes. Watchmen weaves an intricate tale of woe, love, war, passion, and humanity. The movie opens with the death of Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who in a previous life was the masked man known as The Comedian. After his former colleague and one of the few still-active heroes, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), hears of the death, he heads over to investigate. Looking around Blake’s room, Rorschach is forced to conclude that somebody came after Blake because he was a hero, not for some other reason. read the full review | |

 | | 23. Lost (Complete First Season) | | | Starring: Terry O'Quinn Dominic Monaghan Director: Jeffrey Abrams | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | Lost: Season One - DVD Review By: Joel Meares - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/28/2009 1:44 AM | |
Agatha Christie wrote something in excess of 80 novels. Christie was a practiced and a brilliant mystery taleteller, a commercial writer who exploited her full and total grasp of the mystery genre to massive popular success. Each plot was intricately realized, no facet of the mystery introduced that could not be resolved. Such is the enjoyment of good mysteries: a confidence that although clues and complications have confused us for now, in the end the equation will make sense. We should not know the ending, but it should not be impossible to work out. Lost, 2004’s hit about a group of plane-wreck survivors milling about on a mysterious island, crashes and burns on its inability to handle the genre Christie had mastered. read the full review | |

 | | 37. Dr.Seuss-How the Grinch Stole Christmas Combo Pack | | | Starring: Christine Baranski Jim Carrey Director: Ron Howard | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 10/13/2009 |  | How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 10/14/2009 6:01 PM | | The Grinch is a jerk. Stealing Christmas in one thing, but in this live action adaptation, he puts a kids life in danger. As he first visits the town of Whoville, he hands a hacksaw to children, telling them to “run fast with it.” No wonder the citizens are terrified of this odd being. There are other bizarre oddities in this unnecessary Dr. Seuss adaptation. As babies are flown into Whoville, a man opens the door to see his new child and states to his wife, “It looks just like your boss!” Funny… in another movie. read the full review | |

 | | 39. Burn Notice-Season 2 | | | Starring: Bruce Campbell Gabrielle Anwar | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 |  | Burn Notice, Season Two - DVD Review By: Fitz - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/22/2009 9:04 AM | | Imagine if you will a television series with the dry wit of House, the improvised gadgetry of MacGyver, and the spy games of the Bourne Identity. Then you might have an idea of what Burn Notice is like before you watch it. I have to admit when season one started airing on the USA Network, I avoided it, thinking it would be formulaic and boring. But I caught myself watching when season two began airing last summer. And then it was too late for me. I'd been ensnared by the witty dialog, clever contraptions, and a great pairing of writers and actors. At that point I went to Hulu and began watching all the episodes I'd missed from season one. And then I made sure I caught all of season two when it aired. I was hooked. read the full review | |

 | | 41. Burn Notice-Season 2 (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Gabrielle Anwar Jeffrey Donovan | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 |  | Burn Notice - Season Two - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/25/2009 12:16 PM | | Burn Notice, typically described as a comedy-thriller, is less jocular, but more entertaining than you might expect. The second season of the USA Network series is solid summer fare, delving into the tired fictional world of spies and espionage with a fairly fresh approach that keeps the series extremely watchable as it moves at a fast pace. Jeffrey Donovan (Changeling) stars as former government operative Michael Westen. Westen’s been issued a burn notice, and dumped in Miami, leaving him without money or an identity. He’s forced to rely on any friendly figures he can find — ex-girlfriend Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar, The Tudors), FBI informant Sam (Bruce Campbell, My Name is Bruce) and his chain-smoking, clingy mother, Madeline (Sharon Gless, Queer as Folk). read the full review | |
