88/100
 
"Typical of Paul Thomas Anderson's movies, the two disc 'collector's edition' DVD gets fascinating and slightly unconventional treatment."
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
There Will Be Blood (2007)91%
/
88/100
 
"Featuring one of the most complex and interesting lead characters you will ever find in the movies, Paul Thomas Anderson's film marks a big step forward for the director."
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
There Will Be Blood (2007)91%
/
86/100
 
"Regardless of what one thinks of David Lean and his old fashioned style, the results here - save perhaps for the casting of Alec Guinness as a Hindu professor - are exquisite."
Posted Apr 24, 2008
 
A Passage to India (1984)86%
/
86/100
 
"There is a very nice selection of extras on the disc, starting with a full length audio commentary by producer Richard Goodwin."

Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
First Knight (1995)46%
/
72/100
 
"While director Jerry Zucker seems to have been intent on dragging the film to the mushy middle, it's still more entertaining than most comparable Middle Ages-set movies."
Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
First Knight (1995)46%
/
71/100
 
"The Blu Ray version of Walk Hard is a two-disc affair, complete with an extended version of the film that includes an extra 24-minutes of silliness."
Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)74%
/
71/100
 
"Awfully uneven, sometimes not funny at all, but John C. Reilly is so goofily sincere and Jake Kasdan and Judd Apatow include enough comedic gems to make it worthwhile."
Posted Apr 23, 2008
 
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)74%
/
75/100
 
"The large selection of extras is dominated by a bunch of behind-the-scenes featurettes."
Posted Apr 17, 2008
 
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)73%
/
75/100
 
"The story nicely interweaves the legend of the Loch Ness monster with a tale of childhood angst, wartime drama and adventure."

No Country for Old Men (2007)94%
/
88/100
 
"Retains the Coen brothers' trademark quirkiness, and it certainly goes all out. But it's also subtle in ways we haven't seen before."

The Kite Runner (2007)66%

Bee Movie (2007)53%
/
70/100
 
"Without a particularly strong storyline and loaded with only modestly enjoyable gags, it putts along like a familiar old jalopy, reasonably likeable if eminently forgettable."

"Michael Haneke has made a film that's neither smart nor powerful, but instead just miserable and disrespectful of its audience, and nothing more."

Star Trek - The Complete First Season (1966-1967)n/a
