Nolan (Memento). Christian Bale and Michael Caine from Nolan's Batman Begins join X-man Hugh Jackman for a turn of the century Victorian mystery about a pair of obsessed magicians committed to the destruction of one another. Since this is a Christopher Nolan film, the twisted tale is twisted into the most non-linear shape possible, and leads us unconvincingly from the mystery genre into outright and outrageous fantasy. read the full review | |

 | | 2. X-Men 3-Last Stand (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Ian McKellen Famke Janssen Director: Brett Ratner | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/3/2006 | User Rating: 3.7 | | X-Men: The Last Stand - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 4/10/2009 5:36 PM | |
Last Stand has as many characters as a deck has cards. The thrill of seeing Vinnie Jones in the Juggernaut suit or Kelsey Grammer as the blue-haired Beast is squashed once you ultimately realize they contribute nothing to the story. Co-screenwriters Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn can’t address each character in detail – the movie would run an additional three hours. As a result, some are killed off quickly, others are forgotten for long stretches, and all, save for Wolverine and Storm, have their potential wasted. read the full review | |

 | | 7. Van Helsing (Full Screen) | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Kate Beckinsale Director: Stephen Sommers | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/18/2007 | | Van Helsing - DVD Review By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/4/2009 5:42 PM | |
Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker receive zero writing credit for Stephen Sommers’ lopsided Van Helsing, and you can hear the immortal authors breathing a sigh of relief from beyond the grave. The novelists’ legendary creatures may receive prominent placement in Universal Studio’s big-budget rollercoaster ride, but the half-baked ideas propping up the mediocre monster mash belong solely to writer/director Sommers – for better or for worse. Van Helsing ends up as a high-concept adrenaline rush that never stops generating lesser concepts over its elongated 145-minute run time. read the full review | |

 | | 8. Fountain (Widescreen) coming soon! | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Rachel Weisz Director: Darren Aronofsky | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | | 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.

Australia | | | Starring: Nicole Kidman Hugh Jackman Director: Baz Luhrmann | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/12/2010 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Australia - DVD Review By: Luigi Bastardo - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 3/26/2009 2:03 AM | | With Australia, writer/director Baz Luhrmann has given us a hopelessly romantic and towering epic depicting the lives and loves of several individuals during some very extraordinary circumstances. Nicole Kidman (also the star of Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge) arrives in the land of Oz to visit her wealthy cattlemen hubby. To her surprise, she learns that her husband has been killed, and she is now the proud owner of several hundred hunks of beef, including co-star Hugh Jackman. Unable to bear children of her own, Nicole develops a mothering relationship with a half-Aborigine/half-Caucasian lad (played by newcomer Brandon Walters--who serves as the movie’s main storyteller and central focus point) and eventually falls for the rugged, muscle-bound and handsomer than handsome Mr. Jackman (and who could resist, really?). read the full review | |

Based on the Laura Zigman novel, Animal Husbandry, Someone Like You is a romantic comedy about a late night TV talent coordinator named Jane (Ashley Judd), whose luck in love is predictably bad. So predictable is her misfortune, in fact, that she has devised a pervasive theory on the subject, revolving around the notion that men are like cattle. read the full review | |

Well, comic book freaks can take a breather, as another sci-fi fantasy hits the big screen, this time in the long-awaited, highly-anticipated, it-better-be-good X-Men. Without too much regret, I can say that X-Men will be palatable to fans and newbies alike. It's not a great film, but it will probably follow the arc of the Superman and Batman movies -- tons of sequels of variable quality until an abrupt and dismal end a decade later. The film is largely focused on introducing the very idea of the X-Men to the audience. read the full review | |

Van Helsing (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Kate Beckinsale Director: Stephen Sommers | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 9/15/2009 | | Van Helsing - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Luigi Bastardo - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 9/17/2009 3:43 AM | | The titular character, one Gabriel Van Helsing, is a monster killer. He is employed by Vatican City, which doubles as an early form of MI6 and even has its own gadget department run by the monks, who invent many highly sophisticated items for the 19th Century. An automatic-firing crossbow with clips. Handheld spinning sawblade thingies (with their own secret power source). A solar bomb. The rest of the 19th Century is also pretty advanced and has such amazing articles as moving pictures. No, I don’t mean the cinema — I mean pictures that move. But, of course, the other kind of moving pictures must have been pretty popular then, too: how else does one explain Van Helsing’s constant John Woo-style of gunplay? read the full review | |

Scoop | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Julian Glover Director: Woody Allen | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/5/2009 | | Scoop Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/1/2006 10:46 PM | | There is a real energy between Allen and Johansson that makes it fun to watch a Woody Allen comedy again. The director is in his 70s now so it is unlikely that audiences have much more than a decade left to enjoy his antics. My hope is that his Allen has come full-circle. Hopefully Scoop is a happy hint of what lies ahead in the conclusion of his career, his witty pleasure and liveliness that's now forty-years-old. read the full review | |
