Category: External Movie DVDs (Page 74 of 74)

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.

Out on DVD this week:

1) 16 Blocks – RENT: Bruce Willis is starting to make a habit out of appearing in surpringly good movies. First, “Hostage,” and now this. What can we expect next year?

2) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang – RENT: If you liked the “Lethal Weapon” films (or at least the first two), you’ll absoultely love Shane Black’s latest entry into the buddy cop genre. The DVD, however, doesn’t offer enough extras to warrant a purchase.

3) The Pink Panther – RENT: I actually would have liked to have seen this in theaters, but had to pass in favor of the dreadful “Firewall.” Steve Martin has been very disappointing as of late, but I can’t imagine this film being nearly as bad as most of the critics made it out to be.

4) The World’s Fastest Indian – BUY: Easily one of the best films of 2006. The DVD is also quite impressive, and the inclusion of the 1971 documentary “Offerings to the God of Speed” only makes it that much better.

Also out this week is the soccer hooligan film “Green Street,” a re-release of Steve Martin’s “LA Story,” two special editions of “The Princess Bride,” and a few new TV-on-DVD releases including “Coach: Season One,” “Medium: Season One,” “Cheers: Season Eight,” and “Dead Zone: Season Four.”
