 | | 3. Guardian (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Ashton Kutcher Kevin Costner Director: Andrew Davis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/26/2008 | User Rating: 4 |  | The Guardian - DVD By: Edward Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/23/2007 9:14 PM | | Costner strikes the right note of gruff and compassion in the Coast Guard's "A" school, and Kutcher is better than expected when required to drop the smart-ass act and come out with his own deep driving secret. Their relationship comes off as more natural than some in this type of movie, but it's at the service of a story that can almost be laid out by the viewer five minutes after the DVD is put in the player. read the full review | |

 | | 6. Wall-E (Single Disc) | | | Director: Andrew Stanton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/18/2008 | User Rating: 4.5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | WALL-E - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/7/2008 4:31 PM | |
WALL-E, the studio's ninth full-length feature and second from director Andrew Stanton, catapults to the head of Pixar's illustrious class. The enchanting tale of a lonely robot's quest for companionship is one of the studio's finest films, an absolute masterpiece that continues Pixar's initial promise to transport us to infinity and beyond. Yet even that label limits the film's staggering accomplishments. WALL-E seamlessly melds wondrous science-fiction, big-screen romance, and adolescent heart. One of the year's best films, WALL-E likely will go on to be considered one of the greatest animated movies ever created.

 | | 9. Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Single Disc) | | | Starring: Anna Popplewell Ben Barnes Director: Andrew Adamson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 12/2/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2008 4:31 PM | |
In Clerks II, uber-slacker Randal described the Lord of the Rings trilogy as a series of endless walks. Nothing but nonstop, pointless treks. One has to wonder what his reaction would be to the overwhelming ambulation in the two Chronicles of Narnia films. While The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe had origins and mythos to highlight, Disney's latest entry in the franchise, Prince Caspian, requires a more minimal setup. All returning director Andrew Adamson has to offer as a result is more shoe to footpath action, with the occasional CGI-sparked battle to break up the constant strolling. read the full review | |

 | | 27. Wall-E (3-Disc with Digital File) | | | Director: Andrew Stanton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/18/2008 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | WALL-E - Three-Disc Special Edition - DVD Review By: Blake Matthews - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/24/2008 1:37 PM | | The film can definitely be viewed as a commentary about mankind and our overindulgences and need for excess; however, the kids will love all the robots. In fact I watched it with my almost two-year-old who was running around saying “WALL·E!” just like WALL·E does when identifying himself to various robots and lifeforms. So the movie is fun for the whole family and works on multiple levels, but it's primarily a fun movie about robots. What more could kids and sci-fi lovers want? read the full review | |

 | | 44. Hamlet 2 | | | Starring: Catherine Keener Steve Coogan Director: Andrew Fleming | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/14/2009 |  | Hamlet 2 - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 12/12/2008 4:33 PM | |
Andrew Fleming's Hamlet 2, a hot potato at this year's Sundance Film Festival which was purchased by Focus Features, takes nothing seriously and that should be taken both literally and pervasively. The humor has an illimitable ardor for defecating on political correctness but it has a similar indifference toward any sort of continuity in filmmaking, storytelling, or style. Written by Fleming and Pam Brady, the film brandishes the sort of overtly offensive, partisan political taunting gags and guffaws that one might find on Comedy Central's South Park, the show Ms. Brady writes for regularly. read the full review | |
