New Release Tuesday (7-28)
Welcome back to Killer Film’s New Release Tuesday for July 28th! Before we get started, we free to click on the cover art to order from Amazon!
Fast & Furious
The re-teaming of the original cast proved to work as the film opened in April with a weekend box office intake of $70 million. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I say go rent or buy it to support Killer Film’s friend Mousa Kraish! Also on Blu Ray. Jon says: Buy Donny says: Rent
Green Lantern: First Flight
With the casting of Ryan Reynolds for the live action version, I’m sure DC and Warner are going to go crazy with promoting all things Green Lantern. Regardless, DC/WB animated films have been really strong with great stories and animation, and this looks to be no different. Also on Blu Ray. Jon says: Buy Donny says: Buy
Dollhouse: Season 1
I love Eliza Dushku. I love Joss Whedon. While Tru Calling didn’t work out as it should have for Eliza, and the same thing for Firefly for Whedon, luckily for both, Fox aka the killer of potentially great shows have blessed Dollhouse for a second season. Starts off slow but ends great. I can’t wait! Also on Blu Ray. Jon says: Buy Donny says: Rent
Dragonball: Evolution
Not atrocious, but it did feel too “insider” for my tastes, like you needed to know Dragonball Z inside and out to enjoy the film. Kids should love it. Also on Blu Ray. Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent
Miss March
I have no clue who the Whitest Kids You Know are or care. Apparently, neither did many others since it came and went. Also on Blu Ray. Jon says: Avoid Donny says: Rent
Repulsion: Criterion Collection
The Roman Polanski classic is given a great treatment by Criterion. Awesome! Also on Blu Ray. Jon says: Buy Donny says:Buy
Sita Sings the Blues
Killer Film missed out on this flick, a personal film by a female filmmaker in the tradition of Persepolis. Looked amazing! Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent
New to Blu
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Wow! What a week. Lots of good stuff and keep it here, for reviews of these discs and more, only on Killer Film!
You know despite the bad reaction to “Dragonball Evolution” I still wanna see it.

I have to agree with you on that Jon… she’s a 9.8
Sita Sings the Blues is really great. If you missed out on it, well, you can download the whole thing in perfect quality from sitasingstheblues.com. It’s on YouTube, as well!
The director, Nina Paley, is very outspoken about battling copyright infringement and she’s very pro-p2p. Oddly enough, during a Q&A I saw with her, she said interest in DVDs picked up AFTER she put it up for free.

Very cool Eric! I’ll seek it out. It played here but other things prevented me from seeing it.
