DVD VerdictDVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format.Heathers: 20th High School Reunion Edition- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Mac McEntire Quote: "In every scene, the dialogue consistently pops with one memorable line after another. It might be 'heightened' teen speech, but there's an underlying truth to what these characters say."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/heathers20th.php Sex And Death 101- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by David Johnson Quote: "Sure, the themes of love and commitment and the emotional toll of casual sex have all been examined before, but I promise you, you haven't ever seen this kind of approach."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/sexanddeath101.php Gangs Of New York (Blu-Ray)- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Clark Douglas Quote: "Though not Scorsese's best work, Gangs of New York is still an engaging film that doesn't feel too long despite a running time of nearly three hours."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/gangsnybluray.php Only The Valiant- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Michael Rubino Quote: "Only the Valiant does pay off in the end, carried by the great acting of Peck and Chaney. It's not as memorable as other classic Westerns like High Noon or 3:10 to Yuma, but if you're a fan of the genre, it's definitely worth checking out."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/onlyvaliant.php French Postcards- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Christopher Kulik Quote: "French Postcards doesn't require any deep thinking or serious contemplation. It's a simple, sweet little excursion that rides far on the charms of its cast and the beauty of its French scenery."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/frenchpostcards.php Girl On The Bridge- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Ben Saylor Quote: "While its off-kilter vibe might not be for everyone, this unique, romantic film deserves an audience."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/girlonbridge.php Drillbit Taylor: Extended Survival Edition- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Paul Pritchard Quote: "Although only a fool would argue Drillbit Taylor ever reaches the upper echelons attained by, say, Superbad, there's no question that when it's on form, Drillbit Taylor is hysterically funny."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/drillbittaylor.php Baby It's You- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Ben Saylor Quote: "Someone looking for an introduction to Sayles' work would do better to seek out Matewan, Lone Star, or Sunshine State first, but Baby It's You is still an important early film for the writerdirector."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/babyitsyou.php The Busy Body- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Clark Douglas Quote: "A disappointing dud of a comedy."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/busybody.php Sunflower- July 1, 2008 Reviewed by Clark Douglas Quote: "Director Zhang Yang has crafted an authentic story, but also an accessible one. Those who get nervous when hearing the words 'foreign film' can relax. This is a movie audiences all around the world will be able to relate to, particularly fathers and sons who have ever had any level of strain or bitterness in their relationship."http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/sunflower.php |
