This week my top DVD Pick will be Adventureland (also on Blu-Ray). I thought that the film was a decent coming-of-age story, even though it didn’t have the same amount laughs as Superbad.
Also out this week is Duplicity (also on Blu-Ray) and Sunshine Cleaning (also on Blu-Ray).
New Blu-Ray release include How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and Children of the Corn.
And that’s my DVD Picks for this week.

Some big Canadian movie news this week is that Cineplex Galaxy has purchased, main competitor, Famous Players. As a result, Cineplex would control 63% of all Canadian theatres. This is definitely the end of the era for me. For my whole life, it was always Cineplex Odeon and Famous Players. In fact there used to…
After what was probably my busiest non-festival film-viewing week, next week is going to seem much more petty in comparison.

New Releases The Island President (June 20) – This film won the People’s Choice Documentary award at TIFF and I look forward…
The big release this week is Hancock (also on Blu-Ray). As per my thoughts on the film, while I agree with most that the second half opens some plot holes, I still found it a decent film. Just in time for the holidays (and a new Vince Vaughn holiday comedy opening tomorrow) is Fred Claus…
My first film in my look back at classic films is the anime cult classic Ghost in the Shell. I just saw this film for the first time yesterday and one thing that stuck out for me is that I never really noticed that it was animated. This may have been because of the adult-oriented…
Yesterday, I gave my early opinion on Netflix’s Canadian service, which I just signed up for this past week. Since then, I read several other reviews of the service, most of which were critical of the selection, or lack thereof. As such, I thought I would make a post about my personal thoughts on the…
This week’s big release on DVD is Rambo, which is being released both on its own, as well as part of a new collector’s set featuring all four films. This week also sees the release of the original films on Blu-Ray. Also coming out this week is the Woody Allen-directed thriller Cassandra’s Dream, as well…
