DVD: STRANGE WILDERNESS

To everyone besides involved in this production NOT named JONAH HILL, I say: Return to the mailroom and work your way back into making movies again. Your dues are not paid.

NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS

Another Da Vinci Code-like blend of facts and fictions. Come solve the mysteries of Presidential books, lost cities of gold, and NICOLAS CAGE'S hairpiece!

TEETH

Pussy is strange, mysterious, and occasionally disgusting. If female nethers make you uncomfortable in the slightest, then just imagine if they had TEETH!

SUNSHINE

Danny Boyle tackle's science fiction in an interesting but inconsistent film that arrives on a pretty good disk.

WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY

Judd Apatow decides to spoof a little more obviously with this take on WALKING THE LINE. Does it bear repeat viewing? What're the extras like? This, and more, inside...

DRAGON WARS (D-WAR)

Explosions, dragons, explosions, cheesy line, explosion, serpents, swords.... cool!

SHROOMS

A horror about college kids taking drugs in the woodlands of Ireland. It's even worse than it sounds...

THE GREAT DEBATERS

Do you like your historical docudramas glossy and predictable? If so, then make sure to check out Denzel Washington's latest attempt at the Oprah-ization of black history!

LIONS FOR LAMBS

Opinions and propaganda abound in this aggressive film by Robert Redford. Interesting as a counter to the MTV-branded, trendy leftist propaganda like STOP-LOSS but is it worth repeat viewing?

THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY

A unique, fragile, and overlooked masterpiece comes to DVD, hopefully to claim its rightful place among cinema's greatest achievements.
