DADDY LONG LEGS (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 90/100):
"It's a cute little musical, but certainly nothing I would seek out over
other classics of the genre. The story is hackneyed, and I had a hard
time believing a beat of it. The age difference that didn't bother
audiences back in 1955 made me wince more than once. All the jokes about
white slavery didn't help matters much either."

DEAR WENDY (reviewed by Brendan Babish, overall score 83/100):
"For the first hour, the only message Dear Wendy seems to espouse is
that kids, especially those who lack self-confidence, will enjoy the
power that comes with packing heat. Gee, really?"

FELICITY: AN AMERICAN GIRL ADVENTURE (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall
score 90/100):
"Did I mention the movie features horses?"

ICE AGE: THE SUPER-COOL EDITION (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 80/100):
"A lot like the first edition, except with a blue case."

JAMMX KIDS: CAN'T DANCE DON'T WANT TO (VOLUME 1) (reviewed by David
Johnson, overall score 90/100):
"This is a fun, exuberant disc and if you're a) a kid itching to learn
some dope moves to flaunt at your next spring fling or b) a creepy
adult who wants to keep up on all the trends, the JammX Kids should
serve you well."

NEVERLAND (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score 93/100):
"All your favorites from the story are here, but spun into modern images
of decadence and decay. This ain't Disney, kids."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/neverland.php
NEW YORK DOLL (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall score 94/100):
"For Arthur 'Killer' Kane, being a Doll once again was all he lived for.
Seeing his prayers finally answered is a truly uplifting
experience...almost religious, you might say."

NFL SUPER BOWL XL: PITTSBURGH STEELERS CHAMPIONSHIP DVD (reviewed by
David Johnson, overall score 95/100):
"Once the program brings us into the playoffs, the games are dwelt
longer upon and the sweeping score swells. Oh yeah! Get me a steak and
broadsword!"
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/superbowlxl.php
PRIVATE DICKS: MEN EXPOSED (reviewed by Dennis Prince, overall
score 92/100):
"Warning: There are many 'swingy-thingies' in plain sight throughout the
duration of this documentary. Many of you may feel the uncontrollable
urge to look up or look away, fearful that you may be on the verge of
severely transgressing locker room protocol."

SAMBA PARTY WORKOUT 1: BRAZILIAN RHYTHM CELEBRATION (reviewed by David
Johnson, overall score 90/100):
"I know pretty much nothing about the Samba, save it's a dance usually
performed by hot South American women in frilly outfits. I supposed
that's all I would ever have to know to continue through life, but
thanks to Samba master Vanessa Isaac, I now know some simple history
behind Brazil's dance of choice, and perhaps just enough choreography
not to sprain a ligament if I tried a few moves."

STALAG 17: SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall
score 94/100):
"If a German prison camp seems an inappropriate setting for a comedy,
just remember that the long-running television show Hogan's Heroes --
which was inspired by this film -- carried the concept practically into
slapstick."

TEDDY! LIVE IN '79 (reviewed by Bill Gibron, overall score 80/100):
"Even without his disability, Pendergrass would find a modern audience
less than tolerant of his bump-and-grind groove. Yet this is exactly
what makes Teddy! Live in '79 so exciting."
FULL REVIEW: http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/teddylivein79.php
3 EXTREMES (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall score 94/100):
"Fans of Asian horror don't need to be told to check out 3 Extremes.
This combination of directors is too cool to pass up."
