Lindy West liked Two Lovers, the film that's supposed to be Joaquin Phoenix's swan song as an actor:
You know that person who, at all times, is manufacturing their next 1,000 crises and needing constant attention and rescue and affirmation but offers nearly nothing in return? Maybe they're sort of exhilarating and magnetic and you can't help but want to be around them, until one day you realize that they've never asked you one single question about yourself and you are an exhausted, moldy shipwreck? This is a movie about that person completely fucking up someone's life.
She did not so much enjoy Princess Protection Program: Royal B.F.F. Extended Edition:
I'm not totally clear on who this "Selena Gomez" person is. I think she dates a Jonas Brother? Or two? Anyway, as far as I can tell, she has brown hair and a face. Her hair is big. Her face is small.
Other movies out on DVD today include The Education of Charlie Banks and Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience (um, squee?). There's also 12 Rounds, the weirdly popular revenge/action movie starring a professional wrestler; Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which stars hottie Kristin Kreuk, who was the sole reason I watched the first two seasons of Smallville; Pedro, a documentary about the cast member of the Real World who championed AIDS education; and Wolphin: Issue 8, which includes a short film starring James Franco. The Frank Sinatra-starring classic The Man With the Golden Arm gets a re-release, too.
TV series out on DVD today include Season 5 of Entourage and the first season of Danny McBride's HBO comedy East Bound and Down. Also (barely) notable is Kong: The Animated Series, in which a boy is genetically linked to King Kong by his scientist grandmother to become Mega-Kong. And Eureka season 3 is out on DVD also.
A full list of all 90 of today's releases is here.
