This week with have the DVD release of Baz Luhrman’s Australia (also on Blu-Ray). I thought that the film was a good escapist film, though the third act may have been unnecessary.
For the young ones, you can also pick up Beverly Hills Chihuahua (also on Blu-Ray).
And that’s the DVD Picks for this week.

Well, it’s that time of the year again and I have made my Oscar predictions. In a bit of a high-tech add-on this year, I have posted my picks on the official Oscar website, which can be used to create a pool with anyone I follow on Facebook (gotta love technology). Anyways, here’s my picks…
Today I picked up the haunted house film Insidious on Blu-Ray. I originally saw the film at last year’s TIFF, where it showed as part of the Midnight Madness programme. One thing that I would like to comment on is the somewhat misleading marketing surrounding the film, evidence of which is all over the packaging. I…
It’s the final weekend of March and there’s an interesting collection of films coming out. My pick for the weekend will be the romantic comedy Run Fatboy Run. It is the directorial debut for David Schwimmer and it stars Simon Pegg, Thandie Newton, and Hank Azaria. The plot involves a loser, who enters a marathon…
It seems that I have been only averaging two DVD columns a month so far this year (doesn’t help that most weeks didn’t feature many releases that interested me). Anyways, I felt obliged to feature this week’s release of Black Swan, despite the fact that I preordered it (along with The King’s Speech) and I…
First of all, I’m sorry about missing yesterday’s DVD Picks column. I was away from the computer for most of the day and never got a chance to post it. Anyways, this week I’m looking at a Canadian sci-fi/horror film that is now considered a cult classic. The plot of the film is simple: 7…
With yesterday’s DVD release of RocknRolla, I thought I would take a look back at Guy Ritchie’s previous high-profile film. Like RocknRolla, Snatch follows various criminals in London, all of whom want to get a hold of a stolen diamond. The film features many memorable performances, most notably Brad Pitt as an Irish gypsy, whom…
