DVD & Blu-Ray: SHOW ME A HERO (2015)

<< BUY NOW >>

Product Description: In an America generations removed from the greatest civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the young mayor of a mid-sized American city is faced with a federal court order that says he must build a small number of low-income housing units in the white neighborhoods of his town. His attempt to do so tears the entire city apart, paralyzes the municipal government and, ultimately, destroys the mayor and his political future. From creator David Simon (HBO's Treme and The Wire) and director Paul Haggis (Crash), and based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Lisa Belkin, the six-part HBO Miniseries presentation Show Me a Hero explores notions of home, race and community through the lives of elected officials, bureaucrats, activists and ordinary citizens in Yonkers, NY.

DVD & Blu-Ray: THIRD PERSON Starring Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde

Product Description: Third Person tells three stories of love, passion, trust and betrayal. The tales play out in New York, Paris and Rome through three couples who appear to have nothing related, but share deep commonalities: lovers and estranged spouses, children lost and found.

Confidential) and Maria Bello (A History of Violence). Written and directed by Academy Award® winner Paul Haggis (Best Motion Picture, Crash, 2005), Third Person is a mystery, a puzzle in which the truth is revealed in glimpses, clues are caught by the corner of the eye and nothing is truly what it seems.

THE NEXT THREE DAYS (2010) - Review

NEW DVD/BLU-RAY RELEASES (8-15 MAR)

THE WALKING DEAD : SEASON 1

Frank Darabont creates one of television's most daring projects. Strong horror and gore, powerful drama and a great cast join together in perfect gruesome harmony in AMC's "The Walking Dead". The story of a group of people trying to survive the undead outbreak is by far one of the most enjoyable TV series of 2010 and you might even love it without being a fan of the zombie genre. Season 1 features six episodes. In October, this year, AMC will start airing the second season. For more details about Season 1, check out my review on this blog. Available on Blu-Ray and DVD.

THE NEXT THREE DAYS

Award-winning writer and director Paul Haggis ("Crash", "In the Valley of Ellah") approaches the thriller genre with "The Next Three Days", but the results are not very satisfying. Sure, Russel Crowe and Elizabeth Banks are charismatic leads and make it worthwile, but the ludicrous plotting and implausible second half take away from the overall experience. So, if you really like Crowe or Banks, you might enjoy this movie, otherwise it's an iffy proposition. One thing's for sure, this is no "Prison Break". Available on Blu-Ray and DVD.

MORNING GLORY

Romantic comedies are a dime a dozen, but once in a while something unexpected happens. One of these very common rom-coms manages to surprise and exhilarate. "Morning Glory" might not be the perfect example, but it sure comes close to it. A perfect match-up of actors, Rachel McAdams & Patrick Wilson (the young generation) and Harrison Ford & Diane Keaton (the elderly generation), helps the movie's brainless script turn into an enjoyable movie, derivative, but fun. Director Roger Michell ("Notting Hill", "Changing Lanes") is good with actors and it shows. Available on Blu-Ray and DVD. 

JACKASS 3

Seriously, if you haven't heard of the "Jackass" franchise, you're better off not knowing. There's not much to say about this one. You either hate it or love it. The crazy stunts, the insane recklessness and ultimate disdain for all life and human integrity are here for you mortifying enjoyment. If you can stomach it, you will love it. And it's all in gross out 3D for the first time ever (like that's some kind of accomplishment). Prepare to witness the end of civilised life as we know it. Available on a Two-Disc 3D DVD and Blu-Ray Combo Edition.
