 | | 1. Sex And The City (Widescreen) | | | Starring: Cynthia Nixon Kim Cattrall Director: Michael Patrick King | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/23/2008 | User Rating: 4 | | Video Reviews Available: 2 |  | Sex and the City - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/12/2008 3:28 PM | |
Whenever you bring a popular TV series to the big screen, you always face one inevitable difficulty -- will this material play outside the already dedicated fanbase? Does familiarity breed financial rewards, or does the concept's proverbial companion "contempt" expose the limited interests involved. This is the dilemma that faces the four-years-in-the-making Sex and the City: The Movie. While writer/director Michael Patrick King is no longer simply playing to the feverish fanatics who made the series a pay cable success, he does nothing to broaden the scope -- or potential appeal -- of this bit of now tired pseudo-Cinderella shallowness. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Shoot Em Up | | | Starring: Clive Owen Paul Giamatti Director: Michael Davis | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 |  | Shoot 'Em Up - DVD Review By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2008 7:37 PM | | Given the striking diversity of every of those unique action scenes, it's practically impossible to decide on which battle in the flick is the sharpest and most wicked. Sure, the level of implausibility dramatically rises as the running time nears its end, but every shootout is unique in itself, thus making it a lot harder for any lunatic filmmaker to top Shoot 'Em Up in the near future. read the full review | |

 | | 34. Hoax | | | Starring: Eli Wallach Hope Davis Director: Lasse Hallstrom | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/28/2008 |  | The Hoax - DVD Review By: Jay Antani - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/5/2007 5:03 PM | |
Everybody loves a good con artist, a guy who can bluff his way into or out of anything. He's isn't violent, not a gangster, but a smooth-talking charmer whose poker face doesn't flinch no matter how dangerous or delicate the situation gets. Lasse Hallstrm's latest, The Hoax, offers a portrait of such a con artist, a real-life fabulist who makes James Frey (the disgraced "non-fiction" writer behind 2003's A Million Little Pieces) and his shenanigans look like chump change.
Richard Gere, perfectly cast, plays Clifford Irving, a down-and-out writer who in 1971 wrote (and nearly got published) a fake biography of Howard Hughes. read the full review | |
