Looking for some last-minute gift ideas? How about a workplace comedy, a cutesy romance, a kick-ass sci-fi movie, a dull legal thriller and a stupid road trip flick? That should cover all of your bases.
Extract
We called Mike Judge's Idiocracy one of our favorite sci-fi movies of the decade, and his Office Space would have been one of our top films of the decade if it hadn't come out in 1999. Sadly, Extract didn't make the cut on our best-of-the-year list, but it's still good for a few laughs, as Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis, Justin Long and J.K. Simmons are all generally dishonest with each other. DVD extras are slim, but a featurette on what makes a Mike Judge film should be interesting.
District 9 (2-Disc Edition)
Man's inhumanity to alien stands in for man's inhumanity to man in this sci-fi allegory set in South Africa. To paraphrase Sgt. Murtaugh in Lethal Weapon 2, "Free District 9, you dumb son of a bitch!"
(500) Days of Summer
The adorableness is set on "stun" as Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel fall in and out of love in this disjointed, nonlinear tale of young romance. Now with a Hall & Oates-inspired musical number.
All About Steve
If only Sandra Bullock hadn't released this movie this year, she could have batted 1,000. But, as the song goes, two out of three ain't bad.
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
I can tell you, beyond a reasonable doubt, that I will never watch this movie.
Also out this week:
Staten Island
While the title doesn't exactly pique our interest, the sighting of Vincent D'Onofrio on the DVD cover does.
Ichi: The Movie
What if Zatoichi the blind samurai was a young woman? Too late, Japan has made it already.
Blind Date
Don't go on a date with Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson! He's a muuuurderer!
