FUNNY PEOPLE and more in this week’s DVD, Blu-ray, and TV on DVD new releases
This week is a pretty slow week when it comes to new releases. The most notable one is Judd Apatow’s latest, FUNNY PEOPLE, starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen. While I highly enjoyed the film, do not let the title full you. It’s not very funny! The other big release this week is the follow-up to THE DA VINCI CODE, ANGELS & DEMONS, which was slightly more enjoyable than its predecessor. This is mainly due to the fact that the film cut the overbearing religious commentary, as well as Tom Hanks’ flowing locks.
The title-o-the week I’ll be rushing out to buy:
I’m definitely going to be picking up THE VENGEANCE TRILOGY, featuring key three films from visionary Korean filmmaker Chan-wook Park. The set includes SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE, OLDBOY, and LADY VENGEANCE. Nothing says “quiet night at home” like watching Park’s characters serve up some well-deserved retribution. It is sure to be a bloody good time had by all!
