Today’s New Releases
After weeks of out and out garbage, this week finally sees new titles that are actually worth watching debuting on video and DVD. Most notably is a movie I thought was great, but others didn’t like at all. I’m talking about DAREDEVIL and I’m watching some of it even as I write this. Wow, Jennifer Garner is awesome!
Okay, so without further adieu, here are the major new DVD and Video releases for Tuesday, July 29th, 2003:
DAREDEVIL – A blind man uses his radar super power to fight crime in this superb comic book adaptation. And even if you don’t liek BEn Affleck as Daredevil, and think that Colin Farrell is too over the top as Bullseye, I assure you that you will totally enjoy what Jennifer Garner does. Even when she is just standing still! (Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Garner)
Piglet’s Big Movie – Piglet goes missing and the gang must search for him. Unless you have no heart you’ll enjoy this. So will teh kids. (John Fiedler, Jim Cummings, Ken Sansom)
Solaris – Strange and deadly things are going on aboard space station. Unfortunately they are also boring, slow moving and moody. Unless you are a fan of the actors in the movie, or director Steven Soderbergh, stay away from this space station! (George Clooney, Natascha McElhone, Jeremy Davies)
The Quiet American – A young Vietnamese woman must choose between two suitors. Michael Caine was Oscar nominated for his work in this movie I have yet to see. (Brendan Fraser, Michael Caine, Rade Serbedzija)
Spider – The plot is this: As a child, a man watches his father murder his mother. The film was directed by Canadian David Cronenberg but since it didn’t get a large Canadian theatrical release many of us haven’t seen it. Now’s our chance! (Ralph Fiennes, Miranda Richardson, Gabriel Byrne)
XX/XY – Three New Yorkers enjoy the pleasures of youth. I just wish I could enjoy the pleasures of Kathleen Robertson. (Mark Ruffalo, Kathleen Robertson, Maya Strange).
