 | | 6. Up (4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack) new! | | | Director: Peter Docter | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 |  | Up - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/10/2009 4:23 PM | | With the kind of winning streak that Pixar’s got going for it, it’s almost impossible to temper expectations before experiencing their latest film. As of yet, it’s also unnecessary; the studio’s combination of technical wizardry and masterful storytelling has produced a remarkable string of films that have achieved commercial success and critical acclaim with equal universality. Far be it from Pixar’s tenth feature, Up, to break the mold, and indeed, it’s one of the studio’s most touching and accomplished works to date. Not many could’ve spun gold from a story with a cranky octogenarian as its protagonist, but Pixar never panders with its storytelling, and that ends up creating a piece of art that effectively touches all ages on different emotional levels. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Fountain (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Rachel Weisz Director: Darren Aronofsky | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | User Rating: 5 | | The Fountain - DVD By: Daniel J. Stasiewski - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/14/2007 1:36 PM | | The film is one that spans a millennium. From the story of a Spanish conquistador (Hugh Jackman) sent to the Mayan territories in search for the Tree of Life to a narrative involving a man (Jackman again) traveling to a nebula in search of the Mayan underworld, the film’s ambitious scale is unbelievable. Yet the romance at the center of it all, a contemporary love story about a research scientist (once again, Jackman) trying to cure cancer to save his dying wife (Rachel Weisz), grounds the film. The combination results in revelations and heartbreaking truths about mankind.

 | | 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 | |

 | | 20. Wizard of Oz-70th Anniversary | | | Starring: Bert Lahr Billie Burke Director: King Vidor Victor Fleming | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/29/2009 | | The Wizard of Oz - 70th Anniversary Two-Disc Special Edition (1939) - DVD Review By: The Masked Movie Snobs - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 9/29/2009 7:43 PM | | It's intimidating to sit down to write a review of The Wizard Of Oz. I put it right up there with reviewing The Beatles or Huck Finn. What do you say that hasn't already been said? How do you find an angle on something in its seventh decade? For full disclosure, I have to admit that this movie has been in my Top 5 films ever since I was probably five- or six-years-old. Movies have come and gone and this film has never wavered. When we got a VCR, it was the first film I taped off of TV and watched and rewatched. When it was released on VHS, I had the deluxe edition. And back again for another version for the 50th Anniversary. In 1999, I was put my money down for a bare bones DVD version for the 60th Anniversary. Just back in 2005, I purchased the three-disc Collector's Edition on DVD. Now, Warner Bros. has gone into full Oz-mode again for the 70th Anniversary of the film. read the full review | |

 | | 36. Battlestar Galactica: The Plan (Blu-ray) new! | | | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 10/27/2009 | | Battlestar Galactica - The Plan - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Josh Lasser - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 10/28/2009 10:13 AM | | So the audience of Battlestar Galactica was repeatedly told – they Cylons have, strike that, had, a plan. That plan, that masterstroke of genius, was to destroy the 12 Colonies and all have humanity along with them . As we all know however, Commander — later, Admiral — Adama (Edward James Olmos) and the fleet he managed to create and hold together working alongside President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) helped foil the Cylons' plan. But, what exactly was the Cylons' plan, what were the specifics of it and how did they adapt once their instantaneous victory was not assured? What did they hope to achieve from destroying humanity? To answer those questions, fans have now been given a look at the Cylons' side of story with Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. read the full review | |

 | | 41. Inside Man (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Clive Owen Denzel Washington Director: Spike Lee | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 1/3/2010 | | Inside Man - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Chris Beaumont - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 6/1/2009 8:19 AM | | Along with my very late-blooming love for the cinema and my gravitation towards genre films, there are some filmmakers whose films I have never seen. One of those filmmakers is Spike Lee. When I saw Inside Man back in 2006 on the big screen I was finally able to say that I had seen a Spike Lee film. To this date, it remains the only one I have seen. I know, I know, that means there are a lot of quality movies that I have yet to see, a fact I hope to one day rectify. In any case, the heist film has arrived on Blu-ray and marks the first time I have seen the film since its big screen bow. read the full review | |
