Out on DVD this week:
1) King Kong – BUY: An average DVD for an average film. Don’t get me wrong. I liked Peter Jackson’s epic just as much as everyone else, but by the end of the film, it just doesn’t stick with you the same way the “LOTR” trilogy did.
2) Memoirs of a Geisha – RENT: A great film that didn’t get the recognition it deserved. With that being said, however, I’m not exactly sure anyone needs to see it more than once.
3) Stay – PASS: This movie makes absolutely no sense. Renting it would make even less.
4) Get Rich or Die Tryin’ – PASS: Is 50 Cent the next Daniel Day Lewis? Hardly. So why is Jim Sherridan wasting his time with this no-talent hack? You got me. But please, don’t encourage this kind of behavior and stay away.
Also out this week is the sci-fi disaster “A Sound of Thunder,” season five of “Six Feet Under” and the “Planet of the Apes” Ultimate DVD Collection.
