This Week On DVD and Blu-ray: October 13, 2009
Natural Born Killers and Drag Me To Hell lead the way
|
Natural Born Killers (Unrated Director's Cut)
|
|
| I just reviewed the Blu-ray edition (read that here) and highly recommend it as I think this movie was certainly relevant when it was originally released, but in the time between sort of fell into obscurity. But now, 15 years later, it seems it is more relevant than ever, but I can't help but wonder if j_kad's comment on my review holds some water… Has the attention span of people changed so much that they can't figure out this movie? | |

Drag Me To Hell
|
|
| Solid thrills and lots of laughs, Sam Raimi's return to horror is a success and in my opinion his best yet. Then again, I am not a fan of his Evil Dead films so take that for what you consider it to be worth. Sara just wrote up a review of the DVD edition (read it here) and I have (unfortunately) not found a chance to watch the Blu-ray but hope to any day now. Sara recommends it as a rental, but I don't foresee a special edition of this one in the near future and would say that while it is light on special features, just go ahead and but it now. | |

The Proposal
|
|
| It made a TON of money at the box-office, but that doesn't mean it was any good. You can read my review right here or Sara's kinder take on the DVD edition right here. If you go by my recommendation this will be the last time you ever think of this movie and if you go by Sara's you will give it a rent. Just think, my way saves you money and in this economic climate that is saying a lot. | |

Land of the Lost
|
|
| Universal typically sends me everything they release for preview. This one hasn't shown up yet, which is quite a surprise considering this is a film that was savaged by critics to the tune of a 26% RottenTomatoes rating, followed by a dismal $49 million box-office return on a reported budget of $100+ million. I would think they would want as much advertising as possible. Then again, I wouldn't watch this film a second time so they probably made the correct decision. I just didn't like this film one bit and you can get my theatrical review right here should you be interested. | |
