This Week on DVD & Bluray (11-09-10)
Though there’s not much that will reach up and punch you in the face this week (primary face-puncher… Scott Pilgrim!), there are a few good picks coming out on DVD and Bluray this week. Other than the aforementioned Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Charlie St. Cloud, Ramona and Beezus, and Grown Ups both got major theatrical releases (and you probably missed them when they were there!) and Love Ranch and Antichrist both got a little bit of “indie buzz” themselves. Whatever tickles your fancy, it’s probably out there for you this week. Enjoy!

Go forth and conquer the video stores, Netflix queues, and Redboxes near you!
I’ll see ANTICHRIST because I will see anything that Lars Von Trier does. The man is a genius. Von Trier, along with Michael Haneke and Neil Labute, are the three directors who often make movies that disturb, but whom I trust are disturbing the audience mostly for it’s own good.
The Elia Kazan Film Collection looks amazing. Kazan made gritty, realistic, actor-driven films back when nobody in Hollywood was. Though I’ve seen it many times, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE never gets old for me, and doesn’t feel dated. Brando is just such a joy to watch in that one. A FACE IN THE CROWD starring an electric, potent Andy Griffith, before Maybury, isn’t as well known but packs just as much of a punch. I’ve seen a few other Kazan films and am surprised by how many I haven’t seen. If I don’t pick up the set I’ll definitely put those films in my Netflix queue.
