DVD New Releases – 6/29/2010
By Johnny Rollerfeet's Echo Chamber - Last updated: Monday, June 28, 2010
These are my DVD and Blu-Ray picks that are getting released this week.
- Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief – It’s a shame how awful this movie is, considering how fun the books are.
- Hot Tub Time Machine – I didn’t get a chance to see this, but now that I see Lizzy Caplan is in it I’ll make it a priority.
-
Wholphin Issue 11
– A new edition of collected shorts — always good stuff.
- The White Ribbon – This was nominated for a Best Foreign Film Oscar, and like most of the films in that category I didn’t get a chance to see it at the theater. I’ve heard it’s a beautiful but disturbing story set in pre-WWI Germany and I’m definitely adding it to my queue.

SuicideGirls Must Die! (Unrated)
– Speaking of high-concept script driven cinema with thick layers of subtext.
-
The Crazies (2010)
– I remember having a lot of problems when I saw this early in the year, but I’m curious to watch it again to see how much it bugs me the second time around.
- Ultimate Machine Girl: Collectors Tin (3pc) – Have you spent enough money on contemporary Japanese exploitation? No? Ok, buy this movie again — this time with a collector’s tin case and more “features”.
- Wicked Lake: Director’s Cut – You would think a bloody T&A movie would go over great at Fantastic Fest, but this movie was almost universally panned.
-
Blood on the Highway (2008)
– I only mention this because I’m compelled to bring up anything with Whedon alumni in it — Nicholas Brendon, for this movie, and …
-
The Dive from Clausen’s Pier
– a Lifetime movie starring Michelle Trachtenberg, and I forgot to mention…
-
Timer
was released last week starring Emma Caulfield.
