New Movie Reviews: Eagle Eye, Miracle at St. Anna, and Nights in Rodanthe
Think your cell phone is safe? Shia LeBeouf and director D.J. Caruso would like to disagree, offering the action thriller Eagle Eye to prove their point. Spike Lee observes the African-American experience during WWII in the glacial drama Miracle at St. Anna. And Diane Lane and Richard Gere reteam for the convincingly romantic soap opera Nights in Rodanthe. Also in theaters: Diane Keaton effectively destroys her career in the Dax Shepard comedy Smother. Sam Rockwell stars in the diseased adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel Choke. Northern Californian marijuana farmers grow a heart in Humboldt County. And Tim Robbins, Michael Pena, and Rachel McAdams plays Iraq War soldiers with no home to return to in The Lucky Ones. Be sure to catch reviews of other recent Theatrical Films: The Duchess, My Best Friend’s Girl, Lakeview Terrace, Ghost Town, Burn After Reading, Righteous Kill, The Women, The Family That Preys, Towelhead, Sukiyaki Western Django, Yella, The House Bunny, Tropic Thunder, Igor, and Battle in Seattle.

New DVD Reviews: Cool Hand Luke, Bridges, and Plaisir
Cool Hand Luke With all the (justified) buzz surrounding Iron Man and the new Godfather set, some excellent discs have been lost in the mix. Be sure to check out the DVD Talk Review Database for reviews of the DVDs you may have missed including: Cool Hand Luke [ 2nd review]- the kind of film that reinvigorates your sense of the artform, that proves that motion pictures can be more than star turns, CGI, and directorial bravado; The Bridges of Madison County - an understated and moving romance based on Robert James Waller's over-the-top novel bestseller; and Le Plaisir - Criterion Collection - a movie works its magic quietly and once you've had time to absorb its depth, it's a film you'll return to again and again. Other recent reviews include: Kabluey, Privilege, and The Earrings of Madame de... - Criterion Collection.  Visit the DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week and the ability to browse reviews by studio.
