7/10
     (2008)      "Like Dreamgirls, this film aims to capture not just the essence of music and musicians, but an era as well." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
2/10
     (1979)      "The real reason to buy this version are the star commentaries. They're pretty amazing." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "Camp Rock may not have the energy or originality of High School Musical, but it feels like a more authentic film in many ways because it isn't so over-the-top and the numbers aren't Broadway-contrived." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (1998)      "A surprisingly sweet teen comedy that keeps the sex under the covers and off-screen, opting instead for a John Hughes-style exploration of the teen world. It's a little more intelligent and a little better than the average teen fare, and in Blu-ray it loo" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
3/4
     (1944)      "Part wartime propaganda, part Capra corn, part film noir mystery, and part art house film." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
7/10
     (1991)      "Scorsese & Co. maintain a Nightmare on Elm Street kind of tension. And yes, there are a few slasher moments." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
9/10
     (2005)      "Hoffman is Capote, and he dominates this film just as Capote would have if the flamboyant writer were in it." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
3.5/4
     (1935)      "Captain Blood is still a rollicking good time, one of the stylish gems in the crown of Hollywood's early achievements." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
7/10
     (2003)      "A bittersweet, slow-paced story that is quietly touching." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (2005)      "Though it's not a critic's job to tell readers what to buy or what not to buy, it's hard not to tout this set as a must-have for lovers of American cinema." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (2005)      "Witty, ribald, and wickedly funny." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (2005)      "The script is solid, the actors clearly have fun with it, and the location Venice photography makes you want to phone your travel agent." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
          "some incredible vintage footage, but it’s almost laugh-out-loud funny to see how relatively clean-cut the musicians look" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Takes us closer to the Bond that Fleming created. We see more vulnerable moments in him, more man than superman. And surprisingly, that makes the legend even stronger." [movie review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (2006)      "Though the PCM is MIA, the bonus features make this worth getting." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
5/10
     (1998)      "But Hilary Duff really brings a presence to the role of Wendy that's hard not to like." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (2000)      "I wish that all of the film's 144 minutes were spent alone with Hanks." [movie review]      DVDTown.com   
  
9/10
     (2000)      "Hanks somehow manages to hold us in rapt attention as his Everyman character learns how to build a shelter, spear fish, stoke fires, and cope with isolation." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
7/10
     (1989)      "Casualties of War has a dramatic power that makes it worth watching, despite it's considerable flaws." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
6/10
     (2007)      "Garner must have been thinking of puppies being drowned throughout most of the filming, because in almost every frame she appears as sad-faced, puffy-cheeked, and red-eyed as Renee Zellweger on a bad day." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
5/10
     (2001)      "the cat animation is as clumsy as a bad ventriloquist at a children's party" [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
6/10
     (1996)      "I have to admit that ever since I saw Reeves in Parenthood playing a stoner/surfer-dude boyfriend, I see glimpses of that performance in almost everything he does." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (1976)      "If you’re waxing nostalgic on a limited budget or liked Charlie’s Angels the movies enough to check out just one of the television seasons, this is the one to get" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (1968)      "This unassuming film stays fairly close to the novel as it tells a simple story of a simple man who wanted to be more." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (1989)      "James Burrows is the Midas of sitcoms, and his touch is everywhere to be found in this witty show." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (1986)      "Season Five may not be the show's strongest, but it's still plenty entertaining." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (1988)      "Season Seven is one of the top four seasons from the show's 11-year run." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (1987)      "Included is an episode that's perhaps one of the series' all-time funniest—where Woody and Sam put their bodies on the line for a charity date auction!" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (2009)      "Frears is in no hurry to tell his story, and bids the audience to enjoy the sensation of glimpsing life from a bygone era." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (2009)      "Frears does a fine job of capturing the look of turn-of-the-century France, as well as the essence of Colette's story." [movie review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (1927)      "For most of 140 minutes, Bernard maintains a credible tension and interest that's augmented by the title character: a chess playing automaton" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
8/10
     (2002)      "Sustains its energy and momentum and cleverly continues to weave together a realistic narrative with staged theatrical interpretations." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
6/10
     (2005)      "Decent animation and some humorous moments, but it disappoints because of unappealing characters, a lack of real emotional depth, and too much reliance on contrived feel-good moments." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
9/10
     (1979)      "After 25 years, "The China Syndrome" still has the capacity to scare us toward a safer form of energy production" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
5/10
     (1968)      "an over-the-top musical with forgettable tunes (apart from the title song)" [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
8/10
     (2000)      "Like other magical realist works, Chocolat blends realistic and mystical ingredients in a concoction that's one part drama and one part deadpan comedy" [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
7/10
     (2006)      "As concerts go, this one is really enjoyable, despite two or three play-it-safe songs." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
2.5/4
     (1945)      "It's fluffy as cotton batting, but on a cold winter's night and with a tree trimmed nearby, Christmas in Connecticut still manages to entertain in its own modest way." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
6/10
     (2007)      "What begins with promise gets bogged down in a narrative that's way too familiar. . . . Christmas is Here Again is for kids only." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
9/10
     (1984)      "From the minute Ralphie and his friends press their noses against a department store window to admire the tin toys and BB-guns, viewers are transported to a different period." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
3/10
     (2004)      "Tries to plug into honest emotions, but only comes across as being as plastic as those giant outdoor snowmen." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "just as Lewis's books were better received by children, this film series is certainly more kid-friendly than Peter Jackson's versions of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "The centaurs and fauns look as authentic as the humans, and I've never seen such a realistic CGI lion." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
7/10
     (2002)      "The gentle narratives and highlighted subtitles make these great learn-to-read stories." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
6/10
     (2002)      "Strictly for Disney princesses." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
3.5/4
     (2005)      "The film's considerable strengths are the compelling story itself, Crowe's performance, and a rich evocation of life during the Depression years." [dvd review]      Reel.com   
  
7/10
     (2006)      "There are at least three acts that blend athleticism and grace with such accomplishment that it's hard even for circus haters not to gasp in admiration." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
6/10
     (1949)      "As B-Westerns go, the plot is pretty standard, but Beebe raises the level of realism and gives it a filmic treatment. Too bad the video quality is so poor." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
7/10
     (2008)      "City of Men doesn't pack the same punch as City of God, but the characters are so engaging that viewers are likely to forgive the slender and overly familiar plot." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com   
  
5/10
     (2007)      "You know where this is going and that it's going to end badly. The only question is for whom" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com
