DVD Releases!



Cemetery Junction - Normally I wouldn't choose a straight-to-DVD release for my pick of the week, but this week is different for two reasons. A.) There really are no other options this week, unless I went with a TV show (which i will discuss later), and B.) this film is unique. It is a British coming-of-age style comedy written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant, the co-creators of the British version of "The Office" and "Extras". Ricky Gervais is my favorite comedian, so I am definitely looking forward to seeing this one.
Rating: 5 out of 5

Ca$h - This one is a crime comedy starring Sean Bean about a family who finds a bag of money thrown out of a getaway car from a bank robbery, and the robbers come after the family in order to get it back. I feel like I've seen this type of movie way too much.
Rating: 2 out of 5

Furry Vengeance - When this was released in theaters, I talked about how critics can be entertaining when reviewing movies that are this bad. If you want entertainment, I suggest you not rent this, and go to the film's Rotten Tomatoes page instead.
Rating: 1 out of 5

The Last Song - Miley Cyrus + Nicholas Sparks? I'll pass.
Rating: 1 out of 5

Dexter: Season 4 - If you are not watching this show, you should really fix that, because it is incredible. This season in particular is the strongest so far, in my opinion. John Lithgow has a season long guest spot that features some of the most incredible acting you will find on TV. Plus, the ending of this season will make the September premiere of season 5 all the more important to you.

So, what are you renting this week?
