DVD New Releases – 6/9/2009

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

Gran Torino – After Eastwood ripped out my joy with Million Dollar Baby I didn’t feel he deserved my trust, so I’ve been holding out on seeing Gran Torino until the “this movie kills puppies” spoilers came out. I guess since no puppies have died, it is safe to see, and it did get an 80% freshness rating on RT.
Fatal Attraction – The movie that made one night stands and stalking adulterers into Oscar nominated art. I’m almost afraid to see it again in Hi Def.
Powder Blue – It’s hard to imagine a movie so bad that it can’t get a theatrical release even though it includes a nude stripper Jessica Biel. If this movie appeals to you, then I have to assume Blu-Ray is the only way to see it.
Predator 2 – It’s not a bad sequel, and Danny Glover playing a hard-ass is interesting, but only a Gary Busey completest would call this a “must have”.
Elsewhere – Can the power of Twilight sell other bad movies simply through casting? One of the secondary actresses (Anna Kendrick, who plays Jessica Stanley) from Twilight wasn’t satisfied with simply contributing to a bad movie, she was compelled to star in her own.

Time Warp – Slow motion cinematography gets a hip/cool outfit from the nerds at Discovery Channel in this TV series out on disc tomorrow. Word on the streets is that it’s awesome.
