Out on DVD this week:
1) Transporter 2 – RENT: Fans of Jason Statham will definitely want to check out the sequel to his U.S. breakout film, but it’s nothing worth owning. The special features are brief and not very interesting, but it’s an enjoyable popcorn flick perfectg for a rainy day.
2) Hustle & Flow – BUY: Terrence Howard proves that he’s the next Denzel Washington with his performance in this Sundance favorite, while the DVD offers tons of behind-the-scenes material that is actually worth watching.
3) Red Eye – RENT: I never got a chance to see Wes Craven’s latest entry, but fellow Bullz-Eye critic David Medsker gave it rave reviews and I can’t help but trust his opinion.
4) The Constant Gardnener – RENT: Yet another political thriller that’s not all that thrilling, but it’s a good story nonetheless.
Also out on DVD this week are re-releases of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Dead Poets Society,” “Good Morning Vietnam,” and “The Return of the Pink Panther.” And availble now in stores are the latest installments of the Disney Treasures rollout that includes volume two of “The Chronological Donald,” “Disney Rarities,” and “The Adventures of Spin & Marty.” These two disc sets are perfect for kids and any fan of Disney’s early work.
