This Tuesday we have another 209 new DVDs and 36 Blu-rays to talk to you about. MOST of them are out on Tuesday, but we cover the entire week and there's a lot of stuff out that next Monday as well. We date everything that isn't showing a release date of 8/24.
Hover, click, visit, learn, laugh, react, grow. Together, we'll make the world a better place - with knowledge and power!
I guess.
PICK OF THE WEEK Yoo Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (The W at Amazon) (2009) Gertrude Berg invented the situation comedy, moved from radio to TV, shilled products in a commercial fashion and I am very interested in learning more about her. Thank goodness they made this movie! Now everybody's happy!

City Island (2009) I gotta say, I don't believe for a minute that this is the second best selling movie of this week, but it came up when I checked, so.... Andy Garcia, Julianna Marguelies, Steven Strait, Alan Arkin, Emily Mortimer City Island [Blu-ray]
Abandoned (direct to video, 2010) Brittany Murphy, Dean Cain, Mimi Rogers, Peter Bogdanovich - after watching the trailer, I have to think this may have been a lot higher profile release if Murphy were still around - or, on the other hand, it could just as easily have remained in a vault for a few years - ah, Hollywood Abandoned [Blu-ray]

Unraveling Michelle (2008) Joe O'Ferrel IS Michelle Ann Farrell - and you will celebrate him...her. Her. Sorry
The Age of Stupid (UK, 2009) Climate change film probably deserves some air quotes as it tells its story from the dramatised point of view of an archivist (Pete Postlethwaite) from 2055, who looks back at all the mistakes mankind made in 2008 to prevent disastrous climate change rendering the planet inhabitable - uh huh - like I said, sprinkle liberally (ha!) with air quotes
