Revamped Criticker Shop

Movie Gifts

For a long time, we’ve had a feature called the “Criticker Shop”. Until now, it’s not shown anything else than popular Amazon DVDs. Kind of worthless, to be honest, and no one ever used it… it was always a sort of place-holder, until we had something better.

So now we’re pleased to introduce the renovated and improved Criticker Shop. There are currently about 100 products, which we’ve hand-selected from various retailers. These are things we think are funny, unusual or awesome — hopefully all three!

If you’re stuck for a gift idea for the cinephiles on your list, check it out! ‘Tis the season for egregious online shopping.

DVD Report – December 8th

This week’s new releases to DVD are a group of films which are all slightly better than average. Shockingly, the most well-received among them is a film directed by Bobcat Goldthwait (yes him), starring Robin Williams, and titled World’s Greatest Dad. Unbelievable. I still don’t think I can bring myself to watch it.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood PrinceAverage Tier 5.81
As Harry Potter begins his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he discovers an old book marked mysteriously “This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince” and begins to learn more about Lord Voldemort’s dark past. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince @ Amazon

Public EnemiesAverage Tier 5.59
The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s. Public Enemies @ Amazon

Julie & JuliaAverage Tier 5.94
Intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible. Julie & Julia @ Amazon

World’s Greatest DadAverage Tier 6.46
A comedy about a man who learns that the things you want most may not be the things that make you happy, and that being lonely is not necessarily the same as being alone. World’s Greatest Dad @ Amazon

Somers TownAverage Tier 6.39
Two teenagers, both newcomers to London, forge an unlikely friendship over the course of a hot summer. Tomo is a runaway from Nottingham; Marek lives in the district of Somers Town, between King’s Cross and Euston stations, where his dad is working on a new rail link. The boys are both infatuated with the same girl, and pass their days bickering over which of them loves her the most. Somers Town @ Amazon
