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

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)

500 Days of Summer

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel shine in this unconventional romantic comedy that is easily one of the best movies of the year. (Buy from Amazon, Rent from Netflix)

RENT IT

It Might Get Loud [Blu-ray] $17.99 I’ve heard this is one of the best Rock Documentaries ever made. Worth a rental and possibly a buy. (Buy on Amazon, Rent on Netflix)	Family Guy Presents: Something Something So… $18.99 If you liked the first Family Guy Star Wars spoof, you’ll probably like this. Me…I’m over Family Guy. (Buy on Amazon, Rent on Netflix)	Extract [Blu-ray] $24.49 Mike Judge movies are always worth checking out. Even though this is considered his weakest, I’m interested. (Buy on Amazon, Rent on Netflix)
Ichi [Blu-ray] $19.99 A young woman samurai roaming the Japanese landscape? You had me at samurai. (Buy on Amazon, Rent on Netflix)

SKIP IT

All About Steve

Based on the poster art, you pretty much know what you’re getting into.  (Buy from Amazon, Rent on Netflix)
