Tuesday’s Fresh/Rotten/Bland DVDo and DVDon’t Round-Up for 11/17
From sci-fi remakes to pseudo-shock doctrines, this Tuesday has them all new on DVD. So with some help from our friends at Rotten Tomatoes, we're ready to lay out another week of DVDo's and DVDon'ts.
Lichman's Pick: The Limits of Control is my favorite film of 2009. It received a low Tomatometer. I don't care. It's a fantastic film.
The Fresh:
- -Pray The Devil Back To Hell is this week's 100 percent fresh release about the Liberian Civil War.
- -Star Trek is the shoe-in for your Thanksgiving day doldrums.
- -Thirst is Chan Wook-park's foray into the vampire genre with awesome results.
- -Humpday was a hit. But the DVD cover has been "de-gayed."
- -My One and Only is basically about how great George Hamilton is.
- -Brüno came out a few months ago. Remember that?
The (Almost) Rotten:
- -My Sister's Keeper is one of the lower-rated Tomatometers this week, but struck a chord with some of us.
The Bland:
- -Evangalion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone is our un-reviewed DVD this week, which is too bad. It's actually a decent introduction to the franchise if you have no relation to it.
