Hollow Man: Director’s Cut [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (251)
Seller: Amazon
In Paul Verhoeven's appropriately shallow Hollow Man, Kevin Bacon plays a bad-boy egotistical scientist who heads up a double-secret government team experimenting with turning life-forms invisible. How do we know he's a bad boy? Because he (a) wears a leather overcoat, (b) compares himself to God, (c) drives a sports car, and (d) spies on his comel[Read More]

King Arthur (Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (557)
Seller: Amazon
It's got a round table, some knights, and a noble warrior who rises to become King Arthur, but everything else about this revisionist legend is pure Hollywood. That's not such a bad thing if you enjoyed Rob Roy, Braveheart, Gladiator, and Troy, and there's some intriguing potential in presenting the "real" Arthur (played by Clive Owen) as a 5th-cen[Read More]

Menace II Society (Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (156)
Seller: Amazon
Tyrin Turner may not have broken out into stardom as was initially expected, but his work in Menace II Society is one of the more powerful cinematic debuts. The film, from the brother writer-director team of Allen and Albert Hughes, chronicles life in the Los Angeles 'hood. Similar territory was covered in the equally commanding Boyz N the Hood, bu[Read More]

Any Given Sunday (Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (230)
Seller: Amazon
Any Given Sunday, Oliver Stone's salute-cum-exposé of pro football, belabors some pretty obvious points for nigh onto three hours; but between the frenetic editing, the pounding rap-music beats, and several flashy performances, it's certainly never dull. Al Pacino, coach of the fictional Miami Sharks (the NFL declined involvement in this productio[Read More]

Tropic Thunder (Unrated Director’s Cut + BD Live) [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (356)
Seller: Amazon
It's not really a knock to say that nothing in Tropic Thunder is funnier than its first five minutes, so sly that--especially for people watching in theaters--you don't realize right away they are the opening minutes of the movie. This outrageous comedy begins with a series of fake previews, each introducing one of the main characters in the film-p[Read More]

Bad Santa (Unrated Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (398)
Seller: Amazon
Instantly qualifying as a perennial cult favorite, Bad Santa is as nasty as it wants to be, and there's something to be said for comedy without compromise. The Coen brothers conceived the basic idea and served as executive producers, but it's director Terry Zwigoff (Crumb, Ghost World) who brings his unique affinity for losers and outcasts to the t[Read More]

Gods and Generals (Two-Disc Extended Director’s Cut in Blu-ray Book Packaging)

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (818)
Seller: Amazon
The more you know about the Civil War, the more you'll appreciate Gods and Generals and the painstaking attention to detail that Gettysburg writer-director Ronald F. Maxwell has invested in this academically respectable 220-minute historical pageant. In adapting Jeffrey Shaara's 1996 novel (encompassing events of 1861-63, specifically the Virginian[Read More]

The Wolfman (Two-Disc Unrated Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (276)
Seller: Amazon
The mist rising over the moors feels right, and so does the slant of moonlight coming over a Victorian village-scape. And if the moon is full, this must be The Wolfman, Universal's 2010 attempt to revive one of the crown jewels in its deservedly legendary horror stable. Benicio Del Toro takes on the old Lon Chaney Jr. role of Lawrence Talbot, an Am[Read More]

Halloween II (Unrated Director’s Cut) [Blu-ray]

Overall Rating:
 

Total Customer Reviews: (276)
Seller: Amazon
Rocker turned writer-director Rob Zombie returns to the horror field with this visually ambitious and aggressively brutal follow-up to his 2007 reinvention of John Carpenter’s seminal slasher Halloween. The 1981 sequel to the Carpenter film is completely ignored here (and for good reason) in favor of an extension of the central focus of Zombie’[Read More]
