War Horse is too much for Elmo or a Zoo...

This Week’s Big Releases
War Horse – Rated PG-13 (Jeremy Irvine, Peter Mullan, Emily Watson)
An absolutely visually stunning film from director Steven Spielberg, this has taken criticism from all circles and still stands proud. Proud they should be, as despite being a touch long this is a true throwback to classic filmmaking. The story of a horse that perseveres through owners, war and constant struggle is a film that feels like a 1939 epic.
**Number 13 on my Best of 2011

We Bought A Zoo – Rated PG (Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson)
Looking for a new start? How about buying a zoo? That’s what Damon does in this Cameron Crowe film that wasn’t screened prior to theatrical release – but I’ll check it out when I can.

Also new this week…

Angels Crest – Rated R (Thomas Dekker, Lynn Collins)
Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey – Rated PG (Kevin Clash, Whoopi Goldberg)
Documentary that takes you behind the scenes of the man that IS Elmo.



Designing Women: The Complete Sixth Season
In the Land of Blood and Honey – Rated R (Zana Marjanovic, Goran Kostic)
Tyrannosaur – Not Rated (Peter Mullan, Eddie Marsan)
This film got a lot of buzz at award time from director Paddy Considine. Now on DVD it is definitely worth checking out.

And Finally

The Odds – Rated R (Tyler Johnston, Julia Maxwell)
Betting on high school sports…I’m in for this mystery that leaves someone dead and more to be told. Looks intense and a bit outside the mainstream, but anyone who has ever placed a bet in their lives will see some things here that look familiar. Take a peek at the trailer, below.



DVD / BluRay Tidbit Of The Week

The George Lucas produced Red Tails - featuring the story of the Tuskegee Airmen looks to be coming to a crowded May 22 via BluRay and DVD.

Pick of the Week
War Horse was on my Best of 2011 list, and worth adding to your collection especially with 4 discs of goodness!

Thanks! Pop Popcorn, Do the Dew, and Bust out the Blu and remember to Save Me A Seat!
