New Shit This Week

DVDs:

BUY:

Michael Clayton - The first of the Best Picture nominees to come out on DVD, Michael Clayton isn't likely to win for Picture but it might come home with a handful of it's seven nominations due to it's fantastic story and unbelievable cast.

American Gangster - The ending is a bit of a disappointment, but this modern day Scarface features great performances from it's Academy Award hoarding leads as well as it's supporting actors.


RENT:

In The Valley Of Elah - I really considered buying this one but at the end of the day it fell just short. The movie made zilch at the box office but earned Tommy Lee Jones an Oscar nod for Best Actor, though he's unlikely to win.

Rendition - A great cast populates this film but it got horrible reviews. It should still be worth a look though.

Margot At The Wedding - An indie film with a great trailer. I don't know much about this one but I want to see it first chance I get.

Lust / Caution - Ang Lee's latest from Asia, this one got great reviews but kind of disappeared before it did anything significant.

Redacted - I watched this one on HDNet. Frankly, I wasn't impressed. It's still worth a viewing though.



CDs:

Nothing worth mentioning.
