It’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close to be Chipwrecked

This Week’s Big Releases

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked – Rated G 

(Jason Lee, Voice of Justin Long)

Ok, the commercials have hooked my daughter – but I never was offered the ability to see this film. A trusted friend was not very happy with it, but you may be if the Chipmunks are your thing.

A Dangerous Method – Rated R  

(Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley)

Freud, Jung, Sex, Psychaitry and more…this is actually a quite good film with a great performance by the always crafty Viggo Mortensen. Not for everyone though, so proceed with your own best interest in mind.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close – Rated PG-13 

(Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Thomas Horn)

Keep a box of Kleenex nearby, this made my Top 25 last year at number 8. Stepehn Daldry delivers a film that will grab your heart and yank it out of your chest at times. The Thomas Horn character has turned many off but I thought it was exactly as he was to be portrayed.

Check out my TOP 25 from 2011 here to see what else made the list.

Also New This Week….

Combat Hospital: The Complete First Season

The ABC show is now on DVD – caught only an episode or two but really was intense.

Lion of Judah – Rated PG 

(Voice of Michael Madsen, Voice of Ernest Borgnine)

Animated film for the children of a classic story they younger set will, I’m sure, enjoy it.

South Park – The Complete Fifteenth Season

Teen Mom: Season 3

And Finally…

Bending the Rules – Rated PG-13 

(Adam “EDGE” Coeland, Jamie Kennedy)

Ok…this includes WWE Superstar Edge? Hey if Triple H can be a Chaperone and John Cena can go 12 Rounds…I’m sure Edge can do it. Man, I’ve got to see this…really I do!

Here’s the Trailer – Take A Look

DVD/Blu-Ray Tidbit of the Week

Ok, I’m excited – the classic (AND I DO MEAN CLASSIC) summer camp movie – Meatballs with Bill Murray comes to Blu-ray on June 12.

Pick of the Week

The Best release of the week is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close…but…I have a feeling my 7 ½ year old would say Chipwrecked…but she IS 7 ½.

Pop some Popcorn, Do The Diet Dew and Bust out the Blu but most of all remember….

Save Me A Seat!
