Kind of a mix of this and that on DVD this week, though nothing that really gets me in a tizzy. I liked Stop-Loss. Hated Superhero Movie. That’s about all I can say about this week’s DVDs. Very exciting.
Stop-Loss (2008). Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish star in this war pic about Iraq veterans struggling to fit in after returning home. Gecko Review
Superhero Movie (2008). After being bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, high school loser Rick Riker (Drake Bell) develops superhuman abilities. Yep, it’s another parody. Gecko Review
The Ruins (2008). A Mexican holiday takes a tragic turn when they check out some old ruins in the jungle. Gecko Preview & Trailer
More after the jump…
Sleepwalking (2008). A young man (Nick Stahl) ill-equipped to raise his abandoned niece (AnnaSophia Robb) is forced to take responsibility when faced with the prospect of losing her to a foster home. Official Site
Batman Begins (2005), Limited Edition Gift Set. Lots of great Batman stuff coming out in preparation for The Dark Knight (July 18). This looks like a cool set.
