 | 20 Million Miles to Earth Blu-ray Review posted on Apr 4, '08 Read 115 times | Before CGI raptors, green-screened bullet-cams, and morphing liquid-metal killing machines, there was Ray Harryhausen. A pioneer in stop-motion animation, Harryhausen held generations of wide-eyed kids...... |

 | 21 Blu-ray Review posted on Jul 22, '08 Read 98 times | '21' is a movie of such glittering surfaces and populated by such good-looking people that's easy to be distracted from the paper-thin story underneath. '21' initially tells a compelling tale of a brilliant...... |
 | 27 Dresses Blu-ray Review posted on Apr 23, '08 Read 127 times | More than any other genre, the romantic comedy relies on the chemistry of its stars for success. No matter how original the concept, smart the script, or accomplished the direction, if we don't like the...... |
 | 28 Days Later Blu-ray Review posted on Oct 16, '07 Read 258 times | Let me get this out of the way right up front -- zombies shouldn't run. The undead should be lumbering creatures of instinct that overwhelm their victims, instead of running them down. Slow zombies not...... |
| 3 Days of the Condor (French Import) HD-DVD Review posted on Apr 2, '08 Read 161 times | The 1980s is widely cited by critics as the decade that gave rise to the "fast cut," MTV aesthetic of film editing, but apparently they never saw '3 Days of the Condor.'

 | 88 Minutes Blu-ray Review posted on Sep 3, '08 Read 88 times | Every once in a while, a movie comes along that makes you wonder why anyone involved actually wanted to make it. Here's a film from an accomplished team of filmmakers, that include director Jon Avnet and...... |
 | A Bridge Too Far Blu-ray Review posted on May 21, '08 Read 128 times | If I have one rule for war movies, it's that watching them shouldn't feel longer than actually living through the war itself. Maybe that's my problem with 'A Bridge Too Far,' a rather ponderous, self-indulgent,...... |
 | A Christmas Story (Ultimate Collector's Edition) Blu-ray Review posted on Oct 23, '08 Read 83 times | If ever a movie was rescued by home video, it is 'A Christmas Story.'

 | A Passage to India Blu-ray Review posted on Apr 28, '08 Read 114 times | As legend has it, incomparable director David Lean was so upset by the negative critical reaction to his 1970 'Ryan's Daughter' that he withdrew entirely from filmmaking for the next 14 years to sulk about...... |
 | ABBA: Movie, The Blu-ray Review posted on Mar 27, '08 Read 155 times | For those of you too young to remember (or old enough to want to forget), there was a time in the mid- to late-1970s when the biggest group in the world was not the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, or KISS....... |
 | AC/DC: Live at Donington Blu-ray Review posted on Feb 28, '08 Read 119 times | There's a classic line from 'This is Spinal Tap' that says, "There's a fine line between stupid and clever." Of all the world's heavy metal bands, perhaps none has straddled that distinction more than...... |
