I Want My DVD: June 2, 2009

Looking to class things up in your DVD collection this week? Well, some very impressive titles come out today that will make you look like King or Queen of the frickin' Cinema. There's also some stuff that may actually be entertaining, like James Bond having sex with Sarah Connor, but, hey, whatever floats your boat.

Defiance
James Bond and Sabretooth fighting Nazis? You can file this on the shelf next to your X-Men movies! Consider it the pre-prequel we only got to see a snippet of in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. True, Craig doesn't have Wolverine's sideburns, but some strategically placed Sharpie-drawn 'burns on your screen can solve that easily.

The Hunger: The Complete First Season
Jame Bond having sex with Sarah Connor? I wasn't lyin'. Daniel Craig and Lena Headey share a bed in one episode of this soft-core anthology series only loosely based on the 1983 horror movie, although it did occasionally feature vampires. Did we mention that Terence Stamp hosted? Hopefully, sales will warrant the release of Season 2, hosted by David Bowie.

Revolutionary Road
Also known as Titanic 2: The Honeymoon's Over. In this alternate reality, Jack and Rose live in the suburbs in the 1950s, and they long to go back to Europe, where everything is much nicer. Except, this time, they don't even make it on the boat.

He's Just Not That Into You
...And I'm just not into making any more jokes about this movie. Seriously, it's like they rolled a giant, sticky ball through Hollywood, Katamari Damacy-style, picked up a dozen or so actors and a dozen or so clichéd, discarded scripts and made a movie out of it.

Weeds: Season 4
Come for the pin-up shots of Mary-Louise Parker, stay for the drug culture! Also out today: the utterly preposterous Prison Break: Season 4 and Mark-Paul Gosselaar's utterly preposterous hair in Raising the Bar: The Complete First Season. They're both gone now (MPG's hair, not Raising), but they live on on DVD. Never forget!

Wallander: Sidetracked/Firewall/One Step Behind
Why am I not already watching Kenneth Branagh's made-for-TV movies about a cranky detective solving baffling murders in Sweden?

Downloading Nancy
While it won't hit theaters in NY and LA until Friday, this movie comes out on IFC On Demand tomorrow, and looks pretty crazy. It stars Maria Bello as a depressed woman who strikes up an online relationship with crazy Jason Patric and runs off with him. There appears to be some sado-masochism involved, and Rufus Sewell plays her disbelieving husband. Amy Brenneman's in it, too, and she knows a little something about sado-masochism, what with being on Private Practice and all.

Direct Contact
News flash: Dolph Lundgren is still making films. Before you see him in The Expendables, see him here. Or else.
