New on DVD this week:
1) The Departed – BUY: Martin Scorsese’s greatest cinematic achievemtn in over a decade. If you haven’t seen “The Departed,” you haven’t seen one of the best films of the year. And if you have, well, then, what are you waiting for? Go watch it again.
2) Marie Antoinette – RENT: I’ve yet to actually check this one out, but people either seem to love it or hate it. The price of the rental is certainly worth discovering which side of the fence you’re on.
3) Schools for Scoundrels – PASS: No, this is nothing like “Bad Santa.” And no, this is nothing like “Napoleon Dynamite.” There you have it, two clear-cut answers as to why you shouldn’t see this film.
4) Infamous – RENT: If you see just one movie about Truman Capote, this ain’t it. Of course, if you’re a fan of the eccentric writer, then by all means, check it out.
Also out this week is the Academy Award-nominated “Half Nelson,” the Tim Allen superhero flick “Zoom,” the documentary “F*ck,” and the “Infernal Affairs” trilogy box set.
