Out on DVD this week:
1) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – BUY: Hands down the best Potter film yet, especially considering the amount of material that needed to be cut from the book. Warner’s decision to offer three different versions of the DVD, however, was idiotic. Who wouldn’t want to lay down a few extra bucks for the two-disc special edition?
2) Jarhead – BUY: Not only did this film give critics everywhere a brand new motto for the Winter film season (“Welcome to the Suck”), but it’s also one of the best war films ever made. And get this, there’s not a single battle sequence in the film.
3) Just Friends – PASS: Yet another movie that disproves my theory about Ryan Reynolds being hilarious. Sigh.
Also out this week is the romantic comedy “Prime” and the latest Hayao Miyazaki film “Howl’s Moving Castle.”
