DVD/Blu-ray Releases for 6/1/2010

Category : DVD/BD Releases

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.

Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton used to be my hero. Then he made Planet of the Apes and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I had hoped since Sweeney Todd, he had started to turn around and start becoming relevant again. Unfortunately Tim Burton is still on the “Re-make” wagon (Sweeney Todd was a musical) and has no original voice anymore.

Here with Alice in Wonderland his visual flair flourishes, but the story is lackluster. Worth seeing for the visuals if you’re willing to forgive the drab proceedings. [Amazon]

Movie Trailer: 9

Category : Trailers

Wow. This movie looks pretty sweet.

9 is produced by Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch), directed by former WETA Digital artist Shane Acker, and featuring the music of Danny Elfman. Based on Acker’s Academy Award-nominated 2005 film festival short (watch it on YouTube), 9 is a post-apocalyptic nightmare in which all of humanity is threatened.

Plot Synopsis:

As released courtesy of Apple, the first trailer for the feature remake of 9:

9 takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A group of sapient rag dolls, living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 (Elijah Wood), who displays leadership qualities that may help them to survive. Score heard in latter half of trailer is “Welcome Home” from the band Coheed and Cambria.
