 | | 23. Gone Baby Gone | | | Starring: Casey Affleck Michelle Monaghan Director: Ben Affleck | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/11/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Gone Baby Gone - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/1/2008 8:25 PM | |
Numerous articles have been written over the years criticizing Ben Affleck's poor choices pertaining to his acting career. Google Gigli if you care to sample some slams. But Affleck's Gone, Baby, Gone should temporarily reverse the negative flow of copy for it finds the first-time filmmaker making a number of intelligent decision from the director's hot seat. His best decision comes early. By adapting novelist Dennis Lehane's Boston-based thriller, Affleck commits to material that fits him like a glove. Affleck adores his hometown -- warts and all -- and Gone becomes as much an ode to the city as Lehane intended. The Gone plot details a bleak search for a kidnapped child. read the full review | |

 | | 32. Invisible | | | Starring: Justin Chatwin Maggie Ma Director: David S. Goyer | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/28/2008 |  | The Invisible - DVD Review By: J.D. McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 10/31/2007 10:03 PM | | The Invisible is a film that tries to be slick and stylish, using loud atmospheric music and gimmicky direction to convey emotion instead of allowing the characters to present their story. This choice comes off as intrusive and overly stylistic, to the point where we're acutely aware of the film trying to woo us with style in an attempt hide its faults. Unfortunately for Goyer, his film has far too many weaknesses and he merely compounds his mistakes by becoming so active behind the camera. read the full review | |

If you thought the only real place for gravity-defying fight scenes was The Matrix, think again. One of todays most diverse directors, Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility, The Ice Storm), has not only found the perfect venue for such combat the classic samurai movie but has injected his action with poetry and meaning. In Lees Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, stars like Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh gracefully zip through the air in this breathtaking Chinese fable about love, loyalty, and destiny.

It's one of those rare movies that is so delightful, I wanted to start watching it again as soon as the movie was over with, just to enjoy watching it again. read the full review | |
