DVD Review: Sicko

Michael Moore has a knack for devising compelling theses on the state of American society and its maladies, but unfortunately he all too often undermines them with his style of argument.

DVD Review: Offside

Though set at a stadium and all about soccer, Offside offers only fleeting glimpses of the game; the big match takes place off-screen, watched by the soldiers obliged to guard the women through metal bars.

DVD Review: Damages: The Complete First Season

Damages can best be described as The Devil Wears Prada meets Basic Instinct, and not in a good way.

DVD Review: Missionary Man

Dolph Lundgren is still alive and kicking.

DVD Review: American Gangster

To me, American Gangster seemed like it could be this year’s Departed, but without the swagger and panache.

DVD Review: Golden Door

This film about an Italian family immigrating to America comes to us from a joint French and Italian effort, so obviously things are bound to get interesting. And weird.

DVD Review: The Hunting Party

Richard Gere and Terrence Howard go in search of a Bosnian warlord.

DVD Review: Elizabeth: The Golden Age

This film is a dreadful bore and a gigantic, glaring disappointment.

DVD Review: The Lookout

Even though this is a heist movie it’s a more effective character study.

DVD Review: Margot at the Wedding

Margot at the Wedding is not a bad movie, it’s an ill-advised one.

DVD Review: The Game Plan

The Rock goes head-to-head with fatherhood.

DVD Review: The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume 2: The War Years

Adult fans like me will want something closer to old school Indiana Jones action.

DVD Review: Saturday Night Live - The Complete Second Season

Season 2 on DVD lives up to the release of season one in 2006.

DVD: The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Its not a film about King Kong, but instead is a humorous documentary on another famous Kong, the 80s arcade game relic—Donkey Kong—and those who have spent their lives trying to master it.

DVD: Family Guy: Blue Harvest

After years of doing Star Wars references on the hit animated FOX show Family Guy, the production team finally threw caution to the wind and did their own episode devoted exclusively to Star Wars.

DVD: Bring It On: In It to Win It

Seriously? You cannot actually believe there is a market for this stuff, can you?

Return to House on Haunted Hill

A Shakespearean re-write and a cast of Academy Award winners couldn’t save this pile - well ok, maybe that.

The Brothers Solomon

It’s hard not to not like the Brothers Solomon, the actual characters, not the movie… not.

DragonLance: Dragons of the Autumn Twilight

DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the first film adaptation from the popular role-playing game Dragonlance, which is derived from the pop-culture gem Dungeons and Dragons.

Sunshine

If you’re like me, you missed Sunshine in theaters, maybe because it looked a little bit like 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is the only movie that ever made me want to cut my wrists to avoid watching the remaining 48 hours of it (felt that long).

American Pie Presents: Beta House

As the second direct-to-DVD sequel to the theatrical blockbusters, American Pie: Beta House at the very least delivers in the T&A department…

Jackass 2.5

Penis biting snakes, flipping golf carts, and pooing in a plumbing store. If these things interest you, then Jackass 2.5 is your DVD.

Captain N and the New Super Mario World

A poorly thought out animation “experience” from the early 90s that saw a variety of Nintendo licensed characters battling other various Nintendo licensed characters.

Superbad (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition)

With multiple storylines, a funky theme song and animated credits, Superbad would have made a good T.V. show. Imagine Freaks and Geeks with South Park crudeness.

The Bourne Ultimatum

The third title in a series is like middle age for movies. By now audiences know what to expect.

Zodiac (2 Disc Director’s Cut)

David Fincher’s Zodiac may not the film his fans and critics expected — but it was certainly good.

The Chronological Donald Duck Vol. 3

The shorts collected in The Chronological Donald: Volume Three are uneven, ranging from the lovely to the disposable.

Once

Two strangers find love through music — will we find love through DVD?

Harry Potter Interactive Game

With the exception of an archive release that was made for laserdisc originally (like Dragon’s Lair), I’ve always found DVD games to be awkward and hard to play.

The Heartbreak Kid

The plot is ridiculous, the characters largely unlikable, and the comedy is forced.
