Cloverfield.
Brief Synopsis: Monster Movie. Shaky Cam. All About The Characters.
Comments: This is probably the big one of the week. There's no special edition, just a normal 1 disc box. However, as this movie totally rocked in theater (and I totally missed the creature dropping into the water at the end the first time around), I'm totally getting this.
Viewing Option: Buy.
The Orphanage.
Brief Synopsis: Spanish. Ghost Story. Psychological Thriller.
Comments: Saw it in theater, as well, and loved it. Again, there just seems to be a 1 disc box for this one. But I totally less-than-three this movie.

My Boy Jack.
Brief Synopsis: Rudyard Kipling's Son. War Drama.
Comments: It's Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) in a war drama. I like seeing the HP gang in other movies (Rupert Grint's Driving Lessons is amazing). 1 disc. Wouldn't mind checking this one out.

Charlie Wilson's War.
Brief Synopsis: Behind-The-Scenes Of War.
Comments: This looked... okay... from the trailers. It didn't really excite me though. 1 disc.
Viewing Option: Rent or TV... don't really care either way.

Charlie Wilson's War deserves more than a rent!
ReplyDeleteThe script is amazingly well written and you can't go wrong with Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman!
:D
I like the brevity of this feature - a good idea for a DVD feature unless it's about films we haven't realyl heard about.
ReplyDeleteI have no qualms with any of your ratings, either. I really liked The Orphanagi, but I doubt I'll be buying it, though. Just doesn't seem like a movie I'm gonna want to watch over and over again...
Totally digging the whole brevity thing here. I like the layout of this "Now on DVD" recap.
ReplyDeleteI agree w/ baby that CWW is a solid rent, though owning for repeat viewings may not be wise. If you like either Hanks or Hoffman, it's a must see for them alone.
I'd put Savages on the low end of the rental Q, but that's just me.
Totally agree...
ReplyDeleteI need to get my hands on both Cloverfield and El Ofo!
