DVD New Releases – 5/5/2009

Every week I make a list of notable discs being released so I can figure out what I “need” to buy. ;)

Big – I don’t think I’ve seen all of this since it was released in theaters (20 years ago) but I remember it was Penny-Marshall-and-Tom-Hanks-funny.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons – I know a lot of people were really touched by this movie, and I didn’t hate it but I remember the post-production computerized add-ons seemed obvious. Still, the story ends better than it begins, and is worth seeing.
Dexter the Complete Second Season – This is another show that received rave reviews, yet I never got to see. It’s on the pile, but unless I am suddenly bed-ridden for an extended time — <knock on wood> — I don’t think I’ll catch up.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Grease, Roxanne, Saturday Night Fever, There’s Something About Mary – These were defining pop movies for many people , and I love them, but I’m not sure why anyone would need the Blu-Ray release. They aren’t a pinnacle of cinematography, or a wonder of surround sound. Still, if you don’t have one in your collection then your collection is incomplete.
Doctor Who: The E-Space Trilogy – Tom Baker was the most memorable, and possibly the best, of the classic Doctor Who’s. This three disc set collects the high point of the series with Baker.

Twilight (Ultimate Collector’s Set) – Only rabid fandom could bring this future boat anchor into being. The way the box open like one of those little-girl spinning-plastic-ballerina music-box jewelry boxes revealing a misty brooding picture of Edward Culling makes it clear who is the target demographic.
