Film Today in DVD Releases
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 4:27 PM
Two interesting movies out on DVD today. I really loved Observe and Report, but not in the way you might think:
There's a possibility that another film would try to squeeze some easy laughs out of the protagonist's dangerous, unstable nature. But Hill keeps the film coming directly from Barnhardt's perspective, making it something akin to a comic version of Taxi Driver
It's just an incredibly unsettling movie, and if you like your comedies dark, this is the movie for you.
Lindy West kind of liked Lymelife:
The groaning plot is relieved somewhat by the almost-supernatural specter of Lyme disease, at the time a little-understood neurological nightmare lurking behind every blade of grass.
Other notable releases include the third season of 30 Rock and the second season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. You can find a full list of releases here.
