The Hurt Locker

The movie ever critic loves, is actually worthy of the praise. A war film about war junkies, with a superb performance by Jeremy Renner. A must! (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD)   Jon says: Buy   Donny says: Rent

Moon

You want a return to smart, dramatic science-fiction? Here you go with a film that doesn’t need CG to be beautiful and features an excellent story, grounded in reality, making Duncan’s debut a winner. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD)   Jon says: Buy   Donny says: Buy

Rob Zombie’s Halloween II

RZ literally didn’t do anything special with Michael, and the film wastes a great performance by Scout-Taylor Compton. Universally panned, except for our Donny Broussard. Okay, sorry boss, but don’t get mad because I need this job. Economy is bad for writers now. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD)  Jon says: Avoid   Donny says: Buy

In the Loop

The much-praised comedy finally comes out, after a successful theatrical run. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD)  Jon says: Rent   Donny says: Rent

Big Fan

From the writer of the Wrestler, comes another sports story, but this time a dark humored take on being a fan. (Formats: DVD only)  Jon says: Buy   Donny says: Rent

The Brothers Bloom

It was an exclusive for a while at other stores, but now all can see the Rian Johnson film that earned mixed notices. Those who loved it, loved it, however. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD)  Jon says: Rent   Donny says: Buy

Downloading Nancy

The dark indie drama missed my market, so I’m eager to check this out. I love all things Ms. Bello.  (Formats: DVD only)  Jon says: Rent   Donny says: Buy

Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All by Myself

Perry knows his market, and his films are profitable. ‘Nuff said. (Formats: Blu-ray/DVD) Jon says: Rent    Donny says: Rent
