It’s August 25^th, and another New Release Tuesday is upon us. Let’s take a look at what is coming out today, and you can order from Amazon by clicking on the cover art.

Adventureland

While offering not much new in the so-called “coming-of-age” genre, the film has some funny performances and a killer soundtrack. Read our review and interview! Also on Blu-ray. Jon says: Buy Donny says: Buy

Duplicity

I had high hopes for this one, especially after the amazing Michael Clayton, but it just sort of stillborn. Also on Blu-ray. Jon says: Avoid Donny says: Rent

Sunshine Cleaning

A pretty cool premise, that doesn’t deliver fully, but well worth seeing for Clifton Collins, Amy Adams, and Emily Blunt. Also on Blu-ray. Jon says: Buy Donny says: Buy

Goodbye Solo

All of the praise this film, and Ramin Bahrani have gotten is perfectly justified with this great film. I suspect it might’ve not played in your city, so please, please see this film, read our review and check out our interview with Bahrani! Jon says: Buy Donny says: Buy

Fighting

Tatum whoops ass! Or so it tries to be a hipper version of Lionheart. Heard Donny liked it. Also on Blu-ray. Jon says: Rent Donny says: Buy

American Son

The 2008 Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominated film comes home, and early word is that it’s decent, and just recently seen it, I can concur. Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent

The Informers

Riding off the coat tails of Mickey Rourke’s Oscar nomination, this film just came and went. I really like Bret Easton Ellis,, but word wasn’t good on this. Jon says: Avoid Donny says: Rent

Trouble the Water

A siring documentary about Hurricane Katrina as filmed by a girl caught within the storm. Highly praised, and worth seeking out, even if you’re tired of Katrina docs. Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent

How Bruce Lee Changed the World

I’m incredibly curious on this documentary from the History Channel. I usually like their acquisitions, but I hope they examine what the title promises. Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent

Sick Girl

This indie horror film is everything the title states, or so I’ve heard. Coming out from Synapse, Don May, Jr. has a good eye for some interesting titles. I heard it’s brutal as all get-up. Jon says: Rent Donny says: Rent

Lie to Me: Season 1 (also on Blu-ray)

Californiacation: Season 2

Smallville: Season 8 (also on Blu-ray)
