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 | |

 | | 6. Bucket List | | | Starring: Jack Nicholson Morgan Freeman Director: Rob Reiner | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/19/2008 | | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | The Bucket List - DVD Review By: Chris Barsanti - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/30/2008 4:31 PM | |
There will likely be people out there who will like The Bucket List. They will like its easy-to-follow premise, the hollow and overplayed jokes that occasionally come rumbling along, and the AARP-approved folksiness. And they'll really like Jack Nicholson, mugging for the camera as though terrified people will forget that he's still that same devilish old scamp he's been for longer than most moviegoers have been alive. This is not to say that the reason The Bucket List is a terrible film is because there are so many people out there predisposed to liking it. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Wanted (Widescreen) | | | Starring: James McAvoy Morgan Freeman Director: Timbor Bekmambetov | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/14/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Wanted - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2008 4:31 PM | |
A scrawny, self-loathing office drone gets plucked from his humdrum existence by a steely, gun-wielding super babe, is mentored by a Zen warrior with limitless intelligence but limited patience, then endures harsh physical training to prepare for a deadly mission only he can complete. What sounds an awful lot like The Matrix is actually Wanted, an adaptation of Mark Millar's 2004 comic book miniseries by style-conscious Kazakh filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov. read the full review | |

 | | 28. Wanted (2-Disc Widescreen) | | | Starring: James McAvoy Morgan Freeman Director: Timbor Bekmambetov | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/14/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Wanted (2-Disc Special Edition) - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/29/2008 9:39 PM | | I really feel badly that I didn't hate Wanted. It's a movie that deserves to be hated. It's ultra violent with pretensions of deep social commentary that it never comes close to realizing. Frankly, it's pretty silly and rather than saying "whoa" at some of the visuals, I should have just laughed. I wanted to hate Wanted, but it was just barely eeked over the line into thrilling fun. read the full review | |

Best of the Electric Company | | | Starring: Mel Blanc Morgan Freeman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/7/2006 | | DVD Review: The Best Of The Electric Company - Volume 2 By: El Bicho - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/21/2006 2:19 AM | | For those of us born between the years of 1967 and 1972, this collection is a throwback to the days when all we had to worry about were the monsters under our beds. At that time, Childrens Television Workshop, creators of Sesame Street, were focused on making learning fun and accessible. Yet The Electric Company wasn't just for kids because the producers, cast, and crew made sure that the parents who watched were entertained as well. read the full review | |
