This Week on DVD & Blu-ray (03-27-12)

Cronenberg examines the intricacies of  “the talking cure” in “A Dangerous Method”, while Stephen Daldry forces a sentimental and saccharine look at “The Worst Day” with Best Picture nominee “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close”. One of those films is not like the other. Also out this week, is a behemoth Blu-ray package of “Casablanca”, in honor of  the classic turning 70! It follows a one-night theatrical screening last week that was exclusive to AMC theaters in the U.S. So, if you want to hang at Rick’s Cafe again and again, you might want to nab that nifty collection. Another classic, 1958’s “A Night to Remember” is getting the hi-def DVD & Blu-ray upgrade from the folks over at Criterion. I’ll be revisiting that before I pay for any 3D upcharge due to James Cameron. That’s it for this week – kinda lean, but there’s always movies to catch up with- Always.
