New DVD Releases

Pick of the Week:
Gone Baby Gone
While nothing too exceptional, this is just as good as you've heard. Good acting and direction and some very nice twists.
Amateurs
This is a really good little movie. Basically The Dude (Jeff Bridges) decides that he should stop being a shiftless layabout and decides on the perfect get rich scheme. Make a porno movie. Obviously plenty of laughs ensue, and it's a no-brainer if you like movies about movies, but this one has some real heart in the end. It's been written off by many, but I think it's worth a look.
Becoming Jane
Blue State
Breckin Meyer makes a vow that is George Bush wins the 2004 election, he will move to Canada. He travels with Anna Paquin. This movie had some solid laughs and some plot developments that were very interesting.
Dedication
Furnace
Someone I know from the internet wrote this movie, although his name isn't on it. It looks like a total piece of shit, even though it has great actors like Ja Rule and Paul Wall in it.
In The Shadow Of The Moon
This is really the type of film I'm supposed to get geeked up for, but I really just couldn't. It's somewhat interesting, but it's retreading a lot of things that you have probably already seen/heard.
Introducing the Dwights
I guess I would consider myself a sucker for indie comedies like that. I'm going to Netflix it.
Martian Child
Not nearly as bad or cloying as critics said, but also not nearly as good as a John Cusack movie should be.
No Reservations
Romance & Cigarettes
Tell Me You Love Me - Season 1
We watched the first episode, and thought it was interesting, but haven't had time to watch more. Here's hoping that writer's strike continues!
