Backporch Beer - WE'VE CLOSED! THANKS FOR YOUR PATRONAGE!

DVD New Releases – 2/9/2010

Every week I make a list of notable discs being released so I can figure out what I “need” to buy. ;) Not much going on this week in good releases.

Bronson – This was received well-enough at Fantastic Fest and it is a fun movie, but I was unimpressed with Tom Hardy’s ability to deliver Shakespeare, which is essential to pull off the grandiose heights the filmmakers were aiming for.

A Serious Man – Even this goy loved this incredibly Jewish movie. Artistically, this is the Coen Brothers’ best movie (though certainly not the funniest.)

Midgets vs. Mascots (Unrated) – I’m not sure how I missed this arthouse gem highlighted be a fistfight between Gary Coleman and Scottie Pippen. It also stars Jason Mewes (who is always funny), that guy from In Bruges who we all thought was Peter Dinklage, and Little Richard.
