As a “Star Trek” parody, much of Star Wreck’s humor depends on cheesy wordplay or random sight gags, and it isn’t as guffaw-inspiring as one might hope. Seeing as how the film is Finnish, perhaps something is lost in the translation. On the other hand, Star Wreck is one of the most lovingly ambitious “Trek” tributes one is likely to see.

Mel Gibson’s epic of the life of Scottish hero William Wallace has scarcely looked this good outside of a theater. A beautiful 1080p transfer brings the 1995 best picture Oscar winner to life in high-definition.

The scope of the project is ambitious, and as a documentary the film is a success. Since it was filmed for Imax, 'Dinosaurs Alive!' plays best on bigger screens. (Street Date 10/6/09)

Sure, 'Hide and Creep' is extremely low budget and is dragged down by substandard acting. But drab humor, good one-liners and bloody violence more than make up for any flaws. (Street Date 10/6/09)

'My Life in Ruins' takes Nia Vardalos from her big fat Greek family to a group of big fat tourists in Greece, where she plays ex-pat tour guide Georgia. The result is a grandma-approved, by-the-numbers comedy. (Street Date 10/6/09)

Despite the revolving door of characters, season nine holds up well against previous seasons, with some excellent stories.
