DVD/Blu-ray Releases for 3/30/2010

Tags: Alvin and the Chipmunks, Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock Holmes

Buying movies is almost a dangerous obession with me. I love it, and probably have spent more money on movies in my lifetime than any sane person. At least I’m not spending money on heroine.

New Movie Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Here are this week’s releases as well as my recommendations.

Being the film snob I am, I will recommend the Blu Ray versions of these flicks if available.

MUST BUY

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes in an action flick? Once you set your expectations of a slow, ponderous Victorean detective story, there’s a lot of fun to be had with Guy Ritchie’s take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved character. Robert Downey Jr. is clearly having a lot of fun with this role and his sharp wit goes a long way. (Buy on Amazon, Rent on Netfllix)

MUST BUY

District 9

This is the best original Sci-Fi movie in the past 10 years. Exciting, full of ideas and wholly original. Read my review HERE. If you’re a fan of good Sci-Fi or good movies in general, you should buy this movie! (Buy on Amazon, Rent on Netflix)

MUST BUY

Inglourious Basterds

List Price:	$39.98
Amazon Price:	$17.99

Average customer review:

Tarantino doesn’t disappoint with his WWII epic. It’s unique and full of great performances. Also at a LOW Blu-ray price, it’s a no brainer.

The Hangover

List Price:	$35.99
Amazon Price:	$15.99

Average customer review:

The best comedy of 2009 finally arrives on Blu-ray for a measely $15! Yes, please…..a-thank you.

Public Enemies

List Price:	$36.98
Amazon Price:	$18.99

Average customer review:

Public Enemies split audiences in theaters, but it’s Michael Mann’s brave technical film making that sets this apart from the pack. Great performances, spectacular sound design, and unique use of HD digital cameras nudge this into a Must Buy.

RENT IT

Terminator Salvation (Director’s Cut)

List Price:	$35.99
Amazon Price:	$16.99

Average customer review:

If you take away your Arnie sized expectations and ejoy the ride, there’s a lot here to enjoy. At $16.99 this Blu Ray is a STEAL. But at least rent it and give it a shot. Unfortunatly, the promised 30 minutes of cut footage isn’t here, only 3 is woven back into the film. Basically, we have the tidbits McG had to cut from his intitial final cut in order to seal the PG-13 rating. I have a feeling McG’s hands were tied with demands from the studio and this is what we get (or, he’s an overselling/underdelivering douche).

At any rate, there some great action, incredible sound design and some solid performances. Nowhere near T1 or T2, but tons better than T3. Terminator Salvation is a lot of fun, just don’t think too hard.

Rent It:
Funny People

List Price:	$39.98
Amazon Price:	$23.99

Average customer review:

A lot of people loved the Dramedy with Adam Sandler & Seth Rogen, but also a lot of people hated it. Blamed for being a bit long in the tooth, Funny People drags on 20 minutes longer than it should. However, there is a lot to love and we’d all love to see Adam Sandler out of the usual shit-hole movies he does.

Star Trek

Average customer review:

Seeing Star Trek in the theater was my favorite summer movie experience of 2009. A Star Trek movie for non-Trekkers and Trekkers alike, although some of the “Super-Trekkers” may have some gripes. Hands down, this is my favorite Star Trek film right behind Wrath of Khan and First Contact.

Average customer review:

One of the best animated movies this year finally comes out on Blu-Ray. Disney/Pixar’s Up is a gem of a movie that is a triumph for both kids and adults. The only kids movie I know of that has an old man as it’s main character, Up comes highly recommended!

Finally! A BADASS G. I. Joe story. This is Warren Ellis’ 60 minute PG-13 animated G. I. Joe that first aired as 7 minute shorts on Cartoon Network. Awesome.

Night of the Creeps is this weeks MUST BUY. Don’t think about it, go to the store, plunk down your cash and get it. It’s never had a DVD release and the Blu Ray transfer is pretty stunning.
