"Rebuilding is for losers. Time to party."
Hello again everyone (that's all two of you!) and welcome to another action-packed week of DVD new releases!
OK, so this week looks pretty, well weak! Oh well, so what; we'll do it anyway (Scott Baio did it).
The Browning Version (1951) Criterion releases this British classic which, by some accounts is the antithesis of Goodbye, Mr. Chips. DVD Savant tales a good look at it here.
Crazed Fruit (1956) The award-winning sequel to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!, released by Criterion...OK fine, just kidding.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Indecision 2004 In this time of one-party government (sorry about the political slip), The Daily Show goes a long way in helping me to stay sane. Their election coverage was really fun (the show continues to be very good, IMO) so if you didn't see it last fall, it might be worth checking out via rental. I can't imagine watching this over the long haul though.
Diary of a Mad Black Woman It's pretty sad when this is one of the two "big releases" of the week.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974) One of the first extended high-speed chase films, predating Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and The Dukes of Hazzard by a few years. Gee, it even has NASCAR in it. Way ahead of its time and now you know who to blame for everything that's followed it. Unavailable on DVD until now.
The Doris Day Show: Season 1 I guess I didn't know she did a sitcom...and that Denver Pyle (aka Uncle Jesse) was on it!
Gunner Palace (2004) Iraq war documentary.
Homicide: Life on the Street -- The Complete Season 7
Jimi Hendrix (1973) This is, apparently THE docu on Hendrix.
The Pacifier The other "hit" of the week.
Race with the Devil (1975) Perhaps a good double feature with Dirty Mary!
The Ren and Stimpy Show: Seasons Three and a Half-ish I've really got to go back and watch this one again sometime...
Stone Cold (2005) Ain't it nice to know that Tom Selleck is getting some work?
