"As one might expect from a piece of Hollywood eye-candy such as this, Transformers looks and sounds amazing. One might even call it drool-worthy." -- Movie Views

Transformers (2007)57%

"Five years after his untimely death, Lee's vision project was finally made. Whether or not it's truely his vision, the world will never know. One thing is for sure though - this is one confusing, self indulgent and often tedious film." -- Movie Views

Circle of Iron (1978)43%

"From a strictly historical perspective, fans of classic cinema will definitely want to pick up this collection. It's got a fine set of films that are very different from today's thrillers both cinematically and politically." -- Movie Views
Posted Apr 19, 2007
 
Mr. Moto Collection - Volume 2 (1938-1939)n/a
/
 
"An honest portrayal of the rise and fall of a one-time American sports icon, even if that status was short-lived." -- Calgary Movies

"Twenty-five years later, Taps still has a way of resonating. A lot has changed in the world since it was released in 1981 but the ideals of honour and loyalty are two timeless themes." -- Calgary Movies

Taps (1981)77%

"One of Will Ferrell's funniest films to date, Talladega Nights really is more than cornball jokes and race car fun. The "Unrated" DVD has tons of extra giggles and gags to keep everyone laughing for a long time." -- Calgary Movies

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)72%

"Fans of the first Saw film will totally dig this two-disc DVD. Not only does the gore run freely, but there's plenty of extras to keep them satisfied and occupied." -- Calgary Movies
Posted Feb 9, 2007
 
Saw II (2005)36%
/
 
"This two-disc collection is also the best presentation of the film to date. Even those who have bought any of the many previous DVD versions will be well served in the upgrade." -- Calgary Movies

Rocky (1976)93%

"For fans of Jackass and those who like to watch people torture themselves in a somewhat controlled environment, this is a great and loaded DVD." -- Calgary Movies

Click (2006)31%

"Free Zone is a powerful film -- definitely not what you'd expect from Natalie Portman. Thought provoking and visually pleasing, this is one you will want to track down." -- Calgary Movies

Free Zone (2006)26%

"Fits the sports movie mold to a fault. It forces the familiar down your throat. However football fans might appreciate a thoughtful "Hollywood" film about their sport. The somewhat extensive list of extras is also mighty enticing." -- Calgary Movies

Goal! (2006)43%

"Strong performances help balance out a sometimes slow moving plot in this serious drama. There's not a lot of extras on the DVD but the film itself is worth a gander." -- Calgary Movies

Heading South (2006)68%

Keeping Up With The Steins (2006)35%

"An interesting film made more interesting by history, this "definitive" edition DVD not only dissects the movie, but also the making of it from many angles. This makes it not only a must-have for horror fans, but also those looking to get a start in indep" -- Calgary Movies
Posted Jan 5, 2007
 
The Last Broadcast (1998)53%

"Even those who aren't [soccer fans] might fancy the traditional sporting story of huge odds and overcoming them. At the very least, some sort featurette would have made the DVD more desirable." -- Calgary Movies
Posted Jan 5, 2007
 
The Miracle Match (2005)n/a
/
 
"If you're a fan of b-movies and boobies, then this DVD's a lot of fun. If not, you wouldn't think twice as soon as you saw the cover anyways." -- Calgary Movies

The Mummy's Kiss - Second Dynasty (2003)n/a

"As far as the movie goes, The Omen is pretty awful. The gimmick date has past and we're all still here. On the DVD production side, the extras are decent but probably not enough to make the complete package more than a renter." -- Calgary Movies

The Omen (2006)26%
