New Releases, 23 March 2010

Celebrate the first days of Spring curled up, safe from the snow, basking in the warm glow of a fresh DVD  from 9th St...

TWILIGHT: NEW MOON
(Released Saturday, 3/20)
Is Bella going to choose the hot young vampire, or the hot young werewolf? Or will she wait for the hot young mummy in Twilight 3? Or the might-be-hot young invisible man in 4? Find out now!

MAD MEN Season 3
Rave reviews! If you haven't seen this show, YOU MUST. Do you want to be like those cave dwellers who never watched the Sopranos? Didn't think so. Get on it!

FANTASTIC MR. FOX
Wes Anderson's witty and brilliant adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic fable, played at Ragtag.

THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS
Adapted from the Jon Ronson unbelievable-but-true book, a star-studded comedy

RED CLIFF
Jon Woo's sumptuous new epic, with a capital E-P-I-C (the Chinese version was 5 hours long, we have that and the shorter version).  Played at Ragtag

BROTHERS
Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhall played Afghanistan vets dueling over the wife of one of them. Winner gets the girl, loser has be in Spiderman 5

THE BLIND SIDE
Sandra Bullock won an oscar for this. Based on a true, slightly racially patronizing story.

THE T.A.M.I. SHOW
Never on DVD and unseen since 1964, an amazing concert film starring the Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, the Rolling Stones and more!
(We don't usually link to IMDb reviews, but this one is pretty good, or at least long)

$5 A DAY
Lighthearted road-trip comedy, with Christopher Walken

And to round it out, five new horror films from Lionsgate:
THE REEDS
"A weekend boating trip becomes a deadly ordeal for six twentysomething friends..."

DREAD
"Stephen and Cheryl are college students making a documentary about what people dread in life. But they had no idea their partner, Quaid, witnessed his parents being murdered by an axe-wielding lunatic and wants to make others experience his own personal horror..."

THE FINAL
"An akward student with a deadly vendetta leads a group of outcasts who plot to avenge the years of humiliation they faced from the popular students..."

ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION
"Washington DC is being overrun with brain-eaters, and the people seem powerless to stave them off..."  If they want brains, those zombies picked the wrong city.

LAKE MUNGO
A teen drowns in a lake, her family mourns the loss until they discover her secret double life...

Have a fantastic week, enjoy mother nature's extra movie time!
