 | | 18. M Butterfly | | | Starring: Jeremy Irons John Lone Director: David Cronenberg | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/26/2009 |  | M. Butterfly - DVD Review By: Paul Brenner - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/17/2009 8:40 PM | |
In Mel Brooks' The Producers, the characters played by Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel pay a visit to the Park Avenue home of eccentric theatrical director Roger De Bris, who greets them in a flowing peignoir. "Max," Wilder querulously points out to Mostel, "He's wearing a dress." "No kidding?" Mostel remarks dryly. Mostel may just as well be the audience surrogate for M. Butterfly, particularly for an audience with fond memories of David Henry Hwang's operatic romance and theatrical tragedy in its stage incarnation. David Cronenberg's film adaptation (with a script by Hwang) is a failure for many of the reasons that the stage production was a success, but the film is additionally hampered by Cronenberg's '90s lurch towards conventionality. read the full review | |

 | | 28. State of Play | | | Starring: Bill Nighy David Morrissey | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/26/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | DVD Review: State of Play (2003 BBC Miniseries) By: Dusty Somers - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/30/2009 3:25 AM | | Before Ben Affleck was politician Stephen Collins and Russell Crowe was his reporter buddy Cal McCaffrey, there were David Morrissey and John Simm originating the roles in the 2003 BBC miniseries State of Play. Six years later, there’s no doubt most American audiences probably won’t even realize the film remake’s origins, and like most American adaptations of British programming – even the good ones – the original demands to be seen. This highly complex, thoroughly dense, and consistently gripping six-part TV series represents the best of thinking person’s entertainment. read the full review | |

 | | 43. Ace Ventura Jr-Pet Detective | | | Starring: Emma Lockhart Josh Flitter Director: David Mickey Evans | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 | | Ace Ventura Jr: Pet Detective - DVD Review By: Fitz - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 2/28/2009 8:40 PM | | When I first heard about Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective, I was very concerned. After Jim Carrey's hilarious turn in 1994's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and again in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls in 1995, how could you introduce a kid movie into the series? Well, it turned it out it wasn't as bad as I thought. Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective features Josh Flitter as young Ace Ventura Jr., Emma Lockhart as his school-age crush Laura, and Austin Rogers as braniac A-Plus. read the full review | |
