DVD Picks – Holiday Edition

burnafterreading dvdChristmas is only two days away and it doesn’t look like any new DVDs are coming out before then. So, I will do a quick summary of releases slated to come out during the holidays.

First we have the Coen Brothers’, Burn After Reading (also on Blu-Ray), which I spotted in stores last week. Looking back on my thoughts of the film, I consider the film going hand-in-hand with No Country for Old Men in completing the Coen’s return to form.

Sometime within the week, we will see the release of Eagle Eye (also on Blu-Ray). I did think that the film was a bit cliche in it’s plot twists, but it was still an entertaining thriller.

The final DVD release (in this compressed holiday column) is the comedy Ghost Town (also on Blu-Ray). I thought that the film was only worth watching because of Ricky Gervais and if he wasn’t in it, I might have just skipped the film.

And that’s my summary of DVD releases for the holidays.
