I Want My DVD: Tuesday, February 8, 2011

It's a veritable chick-flick apocalypse! Rom-com-aggedon! Estrogenocide!

You Again
You again, Kristen Bell? Why are you always in these wacky comedies? Same question, Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis and Betty White! You three may be what passes for female comedy royalty nowadays, but let's find a project that isn't about how catty women can be, mmkay?

Life As We Know It
I'm sorry, but life as I know it does not include the possibility of leaving a baby to two unrelated, unconnected non-relatives who are then forced to share a house and act as parents. If one of them had been sentenced to be someone else's butler, we would not have been surprised.

The Romantics
You again, Josh Duhamel? Check it out for the youngish "who's who" cast of Duhamel, Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, Malin Akerman, Adam Brody, Dianna Agron, and Elijah Wood, but don't expect too much from the movie itself, since its love-triangle story is meh and its extras are limited to a lone behind-the-scenes doc.

Middle Men
Too much female-friendly fare? Why not cleanse your pallet with Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi and some porn? This based-on-a-true-story about the birth of the internet pornography business includes outtakes, a slap montage and deleted scenes, but apparently not the infamous deleted orgy scene that almost got the movie an NC-17 rating. Boo-urns!

For Colored Girls
Fans of long-form poetry should pick up this partially spoken-word melodrama about a diverse group of black women who each have their own troubles.

Wild Target
Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt and Rupert Grint and should all be making much bigger and more important movies than this lightweight assassin-target-and-bystander-on-the-run comedy. Although based on Wolfman and The Adjustment Bureau, maybe Blunt should stick to what works.

Paranormal Activity 2
Where were you when the paranormal became active again? I know where I was -- in a discount movie theatre in the back of a dollar store. True story. It made the movie sooooo much scarier. The DVD has never-before-seen footage, but it doesn't say how much of it is of a malfunctioning pool cleaner.

Bringing Up Baby
If you ever saw Who's That Girl? and wondered, "Was this movie based on an older, better, infinitely more funny movie?" then you should really see this older, better, infinitely more funny movie. Starring Cary Grant, a young Katherine Hepburn and a leopard.

Also Out This Week: My Soul to Take (also available via Movies on Demand), Tamara Drewe, It's Kind of a Funny Story (also available via Movies on Demand), Beauty and the Briefcase, Ong Bak 3, I Spit On Your Grave and I Spit On Your Grave (1978).

New to Blu-ray: Uncle Buck and The River Wild.
