 | | 7. To Catch a Thief 2 Discs Centennial Collection | | | Starring: Grace Kelly Cary Grant Director: Alfred Hitchcock | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 |  | To Catch A Thief - Centennial Collection (1955) - DVD Review By: El Bicho - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/8/2009 3:46 AM | | Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief is his first film shot in the short-lived widescreen format VitsaVision, his second film shot for Paramount, and the only one that the studio still owns and controls. It finds the director covering very familiar territory, both thematically as it deals with an innocent man trying to clear his name and interpersonally as Hitch had previously worked with actors Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, and John Williams, screenwriter John Michael Hayes, and cinematographer Robert Burks who won an Academy Award for this film. read the full review | |

 | | 10. To Catch a Thief | | | Starring: Cary Grant Grace Kelly Director: Alfred Hitchcock | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/17/2006 |  | To Catch a Thief - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/27/2007 7:26 PM | |
Alfred Hitchcock went a little soft in 1955, giving Cary Grant a largely throwaway role as a reformed cat burglar living incognito in the south of France. Hitch would really put Grant through the ringer in 1959's North by Northwest. Here, though, Grant's enjoying a day in the sun -- and night -- as he tries to track down the villain that's giving him a bad name. You see, John Robie (Grant) is retired. But some young upstart is stealing his M.O. -- and the new cat's eyes are on Robie's new would-be girlfriend, Frances (Grace Kelly), and her mom (Jessie Royce Landis). read the full review | |

 | | 17. Idiocracy coming soon! | | | Starring: Luke Wilson Dax Shepard Director: Mike Judge | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/14/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | Idiocracy - DVD By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/22/2007 10:55 PM | | Idiocracy has a lot to offer as far as social commentary goes and Mike Judge keeps up his opinion without pausing to worry about what others will think. That's what makes him so good. But, unlike his other film and the lasting effect of Office Space and its cast of characters, Idiocracy won't be so loved and memorable. It's a good film for the time that it is running, but after the movie is over, it is not so endearing. Idiocracy is definitely a film to watch, but not necessarily a DVD to buy. read the full review | |

 | | 30. To Catch a Thief | | | Starring: Cary Grant Grace Kelly Director: Alfred Hitchcock | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/8/2007 |  | To Catch a Thief - Paramount Centennial Collection - DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/16/2009 10:18 PM | | A slight, but nevertheless enjoyable entry into the Alfred Hitchcock canon, To Catch a Thief is an escapist comic romance masquerading as a caper film. It has some of the trappings of more serious Hitchcock thrillers, such as hidden identities and a stakeout plot, but its concerns are mostly feather light – the witty repartee of Cary Grant and Grace Kelly along with the sparkling French Riviera that went a long way in securing the film’s cinematography Oscar. There’s no question Hitchcock had an eye for comedy, but much of To Catch a Thief’s success is due to the innuendo-packed script by John Michael Hayes, who also penned the screenplay for Rear Window. read the full review | |

 | | 31. Let's Go To Prison (Unrated Widescreen) | | | Starring: Dax Shepard Will Arnett | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/9/2008 |  | Let's Go to Prison - DVD By: Jesse Hassenger - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/23/2007 6:47 PM | |
I can attest first-hand that there are certain facts about Let's Go to Prison that might make it seem worthwhile. It was directed by Bob Odenkirk, the "Bob" half of the sometimes brilliant sketch comedy show Mr. Show with Bob and David; it was written by other sketch-comedy veterans, driving forces behind The State and, more recently, Reno 911; and it stars Will Arnett from Arrested Development, a show that was not sketch comedy but still favored by comedy connoisseurs. Other loose-collective comedies of this time period, like Talladega Nights or The 40-Year-Old Virgin, pool comedy's best and brightest to thoroughly entertaining results. read the full review | |

 | | 34. Employee of the Month (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Dax Shepard Dane Cook Director: Greg Coolidge | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/5/2008 |  | Employee of the Month - DVD By: Scott Gwin - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/22/2007 11:02 PM | | The movie does score points for its mockery of the bulk-rate/low-price business model. An elderly woman struggles to drag a pine coffin off the second shelf, not because her husband is dead, but because she can't pass up the price. Golden moments like that are overshadowed by lame attempts at "intelligent" humor. People literate enough to recognize the humor in two brothers named Glen Ross and Glen Gary aren't likely to find it all that funny. read the full review | |
