Home Screening Room – It’s an Act of Valor that keeps John Carter in a Safe House



It’s a week full of action as films that blew up the screen like Act of Valor and John Carter meet up with campy fun like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and the thriller Safe House. One of the best weeks for multiple action releases in some time.

This Week's Big Releases

Act of Valor - Rated R (Roselyn Sanchez, Nestor Serrano)
A cool premise of using actual active duty Navy Seals in a film about the seals. Although parts of the film are lacking, the action is as realistic as anything you have ever seen. Grab this one on Blu-ray to experience all that your player has to offer.

Check out the parachute to the premiere that I posted earlier this year - a cool video of a man parachuting into the premiere of the theatrical release.

Check out my review of the THEATRICAL RELEASE of Act of Valor.

John Carter - Rated PG-13 (Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins)
Didn’t set the box office on fire earlier this year, but it’s worth checking out on Blu-ray now, if for no other reason than the rich visuals created by Andrew Stanton.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island - Rated PG (Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine)
The film never takes itself too seriously and that’s what makes it a half way decent journey. Dwayne Johnson is just so likable.

Machine Gun Preacher - Rated R (Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan)
The true story as a man goes from drug dealer to savior for a slew of orphans.

Safe House  - Rated R (Denzel Washington, Ryan Reynolds, Vera Farmiga)
Denzel is a former CIA agent who’s turned…but has he turned back? And will Ryan Reynolds be able to protect him? This thriller has got everything you want in this type of film, PLUS Denzel…life is good in the Safe House.

DVD/Blu-ray Tidbit of the Week
Coming to DVD September 11, the controversial October Baby faith based film starring Rachel Hendrix and John Schneider and The Three Stooges film from The Farrelly Brothers is due July 17.

Pick of the Week
Safe House is a really solid film. Denzel Washington is always worth a watch. And the novelty of Act of Valor will be re watchable at home for many viewings.

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