 | | 2. Saturday Night Fever 30th Anniversary Collectors Edition | | | Starring: John Travolta Director: John Badham | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/18/2007 |  | Saturday Night Fever - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/24/2009 5:36 PM | |
Time and the selectiveness of memory has recorded Saturday Night Fever as a fun romp about disco and little more. Check out the reviews online -- they talk about how great the Bee Gees music is, John Travolta's dance moves, his hairdo, and his Brooklyn swagger. If the plot is mentioned at all, it's the meta-version, about how Travolta's Tony Manero wants to break free of his stifling Brooklyn residence, oppressive family, and blue-collar job -- maybe an escape to the big city across the river? read the full review | |

 | | 3. Wild Hogs | | | Starring: John Travolta Martin Lawrence Director: Walter Becker | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/15/2008 | User Rating: 5 |  | Wild Hogs - DVD Review By: Daniel Solomon - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/11/2007 11:39 AM | | Even though it's not my place to tell people what they should and should not watch, I feel that I am within my rights to strongly urge that a film never be viewed by anyone. There are things in this world that must be considered absolutes, like "murder is wrong," and "don't eat poop." I can say definitively that Wild Hogs belongs in that category. It is not just a badly-written, badly-acted, badly-made comedy, it is bad. Bad like the Devil is bad. read the full review | |

 | | 10. Taking Of Pelham 123 (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: John Travolta Denzel Washington Director: Tony Scott | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/3/2009 |  | The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009) - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/10/2009 8:16 AM | | Featuring a star-packed cast led by Denzel Washington and John Travolta, the film follows the hijacking of a New York City 6 train, the Pelham 1 2 3. It is one of those films where the bad guys, in this case led by the enigmatic Ryder (John Travolta), have everything planned to the last detail, every eventuality worked out. That is, they have every eventuality worked out except for there being someone with a little too much knowledge, too much intelligence, and too much guts working the other side of the hostage negotiation. read the full review | |

 | | 16. Face/Off | | | Starring: John Travolta Nicolas Cage Director: John Woo | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/11/2007 |  | Face/Off - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/11/2007 9:28 PM | |
It's hard to remember the whooshing sighs of disappointment from his fans that greeted John Woo in 1996 when, after so many half-steps and mis-starts, he made his big Hollywood debut with the stolen-nuke thriller Broken Arrow. Having left the Hong Kong business on a high with 1992's psychotic near-parody Hard Boiled, Woo did a Jean-Claude Van Damme flick -- 1993's Hard Target, which was heavily botched by studio interference but still contained some brilliant work -- before deciding to go seriously Hollywood. For Broken Arrow, he toned down his trademark mix of ultra-violent flourishes and teary-eyed humanism to concentrate on doing a by-the-book mid-'90s action flick that was generic in the extreme but raked in the money. read the full review | |

 | | 34. Hairspray (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Nicole Blonsky John Travolta Director: Adam Shankman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Hairspray (2007) - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2009 5:42 PM | |
As Hairspray opens, director Adam Shankman's camera parts the clouds and peers down from the heavens on beautiful Baltimore. A star is born. Maryland's blue-collar port city deserves top billing in the Hairspray credits, for it is as much a central character to the story as John Travolta's portly and protective housewife or Michelle Pfeiffer's catty television producer. Immediately, the music kicks in. The day-to-day sounds of the bustling town melt with Marc Shaiman's infectious doo-wop score and the camera swoops toward the modest bedroom of typical teen Tracy Turnblad, who is played to perfection by newcomer Nikky Blonsky. Another star is born. read the full review | |
