"Folks in the current economy just haven’t warmed to the whole Blu-ray concept just yet. So while they are still commercially viable (even though they are waning in popularity), there are still a number of special edition DVDs funneling into the market. As the holiday approaches, it can be confusing for consumers as they toggle between choosing the “Special Dynamic Super Edition” or the “Ultimate Collectors Shiny Happy Edition” of the same films that have been released, re-released, and re-re-released. I am not going to include the latest films that have perhaps just been released this year in theaters and are receiving their big DVD debuts, but rather the digital roads less traveled, providing a range of options for all to fit every price range for DVD films and box sets released in 2008. As you are striking off names of cinephiles from your holiday gift list, consider some of the following options: For the kids/family: All kids will clamor for the Wal ... "

"To fully be able to enjoy Dark City, you have to buy the whole package. To begin with, it's Film Noir at it's moist noirish. It's futuristic as well. It's got lots of stylish, weird characters. It's not a romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant. It's not Ingmar Bergman. It's magic, like a good movie should be. Allow yourself to enter the City or stand by the gates, trying to look over the walls from outside. This is a fine piece of art that happens to be set in the future. Unlike The Matrix, which is a decent movie set in the future. What's it all about? See for yourself. "

"The pacing is so slow on this film, I can honestly say in the handful of times that I've watched (including it's theatrical run), I've only seen the ending once. If I have insomnia, this is the film I pop in. I don't know why, but I fall asleep EVERY TIME I see this film. Don't get me wrong, the story is fascinating and the cinematography is wonderfully dark, I just can't keep my eyes open long enough to finish the damn thing in one sitting. "

"This is one of the only movies that my husband actually likes. I have no idea as to why because it was so freaking boring. This movie gets drawn out way too far, yet doesn't even end up anywhere you'd actually want it to be. Yeah, the ending totally pissed me off. Jennifer Connelly was also a much better actress in "Labyrinth", and the other actors have definitely protrayed better roles as well. "

"OK. This one is gonna be hard for me. I'm calling this my Blade Runner Memorial list, and I'm gonna include Alien as a horror film (maybe I should call this my Ridley Scott memorial list). In fact to keep this interesting I'm going to leave off all of the obvious picks 2001, Close Encounters, Star Wars etc. 1. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956) - Truly scary even by today's standards. I never tire of this film. The 1978 version is actually quite good, but the original will always top my list. 2. Dark City (1998) - Dark, Smart, and unlike anything you have seen before, Dark City is hugely Inspired by but not a rip off of Metropolis. One of the best and most underrated films of the past ten years. 3.The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) - Often imitated but never equaled. It still remains one of America's most powerful and important films. 4. Minority Report (2002) - An all to easily forgotten and overlooked film. Minority Report is a Masterpiece of Storytelling and Style. A ... "

"Dark City (1998) is a superbly crafted science fiction movie. Superior aliens, pale faced and dressed in tough black leather, find that their civilization is failing, so they take over a city to conduct experiments on earthlings to see if they can discover what makes people tick and then harness that power to save their civilization. The powerful alien minds make the entire city fall asleep at 12 midnight. A human doctor (Keifer Sutherland) who has gone over to the alien side erases people’s memories and injects them with new sets of memories. But right at the start, he makes a small mistake: While injecting a young man named John (Rufus Sewell), the young man moves, knocks the needle away, and is left with no memory but with the aliens’ mental powers. Enter John’s wife, Emma (Jennifer Connelly), who is estranged because three weeks previous she had an affair. But did she really? Is she really his wife? Is her name even Emma? But the salient question is whether Jo ... "
