It was the year of the behemoth box set, the multi-disc triumph that tried to give long suffering fans everything their demanding little digital hearts ever desired. Here are PopMatters' 30 picks for the best DVDs of the year. PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2007  Film DVD ReviewThe Holiday (2006)by Matt Mazur[19.Mar.07] :. Even though the nostalgic aspects are mildly graceful, the contemporary characters' every move is still riddled with cliché and schmaltz.  Film DVD ReviewThe Dean Martin Double Feature (1960)by Brian Holcomb[27.Feb.07] :. These films are perfect for a rainy weekend at home; almost four hours of light nonsense you won’t have to think about at all.  Film ReviewThe Holiday (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[8.Dec.06] :. The Holiday pretends its happy endings are premised on the women realizing their capacities as leading ladies. Really, what they're doing is finding the "right" men.  TV DVD ReviewConey Islandby Michael Buening[22.Mar.06] :. Coney Island deals with the darkness beneath the parks' bright surfaces with discretion, resisting the urge to play every clown image for maximum Carnival of the Soul eeriness.  Film DVD ReviewHow to Steal a Million (1966)by Kevin Jagernauth[3.Jan.05] :. When Simon enters the picture, it doesn't take much (a few batted eyelashes and Audrey Hepburn in a nightie) for him to overlook her father's crimes. Making the Misfits (2001)by Jonathan Kiefer[18.Mar.03] :. There's a cautionary tale in the notion that life sometimes imitates art enough to destroy both, and this piece might have striven harder to assess which is the greater American tragedy. |
