Out on DVD this week:
1) The Hills Have Eyes – BUY: Wow. I was absoultely blown away by this film. It’s not amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s one fine piece of action/horror. Also, the single-disc release for the film is one of the year’s best.
2) Night Watch – RENT: Okay, so this wasn’t as great as the trailer made it out to be, but it’s still a very unique entry into the vampire/fantasy genre, and with two more installments on the way, how could you resist?
3) Syriana – PASS: Zzzzzzzzzzzz… Wait a minute. George Clooney actually won an award for this crap?
4) Eight Below – PASS: For those of you who thought “March of the Penguins” was boring, well, you get the picture.
Also out this week are special editions of “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” and “The Omen,” season five releases of “King of Queens” and “Married… With Children,” and a whole slew of Superman-themed discs.
