 | | 10. Marley and Me | | | Starring: Jennifer Aniston Owen Wilson Director: David Frankel | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/31/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 2 | | Marley and Me - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/20/2009 5:39 PM | |
Animal films are critical landmines. Step wrong, opinion-wise, and readers will accuse you of being everything from heartless and insensitive to PETA's public enemy number one. Clearly, Old Yeller and other four-footed tearjerkers have made canines the noblest of our beloved domesticated friends. After topping the bestseller's list with his autobiographical memoir Marley and Me, journalist John Grogan is seeing his tale of the world's worst pooch finally make it to the big screen -- and it's time to get out the tar and feathers. Instead of being uplifting and heartwarming, this excruciating effort is 90 minutes of mediocrity followed by 10 minutes of the most manipulative, mean-spirited pap ever put into a movie made for families. read the full review | |

 | | 12. The Kingdom (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Jamie Foxx Jason Bateman Director: Peter Berg | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/12/2009 | | The Kingdom (2007) - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 12/18/2007 12:41 AM | |
Peter Berg's The Kingdom will either rally those in the theater or piss off every single ticket holder in sight. It's gonna be awesome. Indeed, sardonic catcalls of "kill all the towelheads!" were shouted at the press screening I attended while the rest of the theater applauded with rigorous aplomb as Jennifer Garner jammed a knife into a Saudi terrorist's nether regions. This was all preceded by some daft bollock yammering on his cellphone during the opening credits while another patron quietly threatened castration. Only in New York, ladies and gents. Why will people be so divisive, you ask? Well, in The Kingdom, a compound of Americans in the Saudi Arabia capital of Riyadh are bombed. read the full review | |

 | | 17. Office Space (Widescreen Special Edition With Flair!) | | | Starring: Jennifer Aniston Ron Livingston Director: Mike Judge | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/6/2007 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Office Space - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/23/2009 7:46 PM | |
Give Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge enough rope, and he may just hang himself. In his first live-action outing, Judge does a fair job at making sick jokes about corporate America, he just doesn’t seem to make enough of them, ultimately leaving Office Space a bit flat. Straight from Swingers, Ron Livingston makes a surprisingly good Everyman as Peter, so sick of his job (“In a week, I’d say I do 15 minutes of real work.”) that he goes to a hypnotherapist for relaxation treatment. Of course (and the trailer doesn’t tell you this), the therapist dies while Peter is under, leaving him in an ultra-relaxed state without a care in the world. read the full review | |

 | | 21. Break-Up | | | Starring: Jennifer Aniston Vince Vaughn Director: Peyton Reed | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/1/2009 | | The Break-Up - HD DVD By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/2/2007 3:05 AM | | Peyton Reed directs this supposed comedy, starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston. Vaughn is never off, and Aniston always fits into her role as the adorable girlfriend/wife. What they’re given here is nothing more than a long-winded fight that plays out in such a miserable fashion, it’s impossible to pick out the jokes.

 | | 41. Nim's Island (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Gerard Butler Jodie Foster Director: Mark Levin Jennifer Flackett | | Format: DVD Release Date: 6/16/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Nim's Island - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/25/2008 5:56 PM | |
Movies aimed at preteen boys are a dime a dozen, particularly as we approach the summertime when superhero movies compete with science-fiction sequels and bawdy high school comedies for available multiplex screens. Young girls, unfortunately, aren't so lucky. On the rare occasion that Hollywood does decide to throw teen girls a bone, they're spoon-fed skeletal garbage like the dreadful Nancy Drew or a doomed vehicle for Hilary Duff. Asking Kirsten Dunst to sharpen an edge for Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man movies doesn't count. Nim's Island tries to rectify this dire situation, and gets off to a strong start before abandoning its imaginative premise for madcap antics. read the full review | |
