 | | 29. 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 | |

 | | 35. 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 | |

Torchwood-Children of the Earth | | | Starring: John Barrowman Peter Capaldi | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/28/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 2 | | Torchwood: Children of Earth - DVD Review By: Fitz - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 8/13/2009 8:39 AM | | Torchwood is one of those series that probably would have never seen the light of day on American television. But the BBC has managed to create a thoughtful, challenging series that forces viewers to consider sometimes questionable or morally reprehensible acts in the context of science fiction. Since spinning off from the rebooted Doctor Who franchise, Torchwood has survived two seasons and has now come out with the Children of Earth mini-season. To provide a bit of background, Torchwood deals primarily with extraterrestrial incidents in the U.K. read the full review | |
