Today’s New Releases
The Sure Thing, one of my favourite films of all time, FINALLY gets it’s DVD debut today!
Road trip movies aren’t easy to make. Sometimes they drag, sometimes that special sparkle isn’t there. But in “The Sure Thing,” you’re guaranteed to be charmed. It has everything you could want from a road picture: memorable little vignettes, quotable dialogue, and spectacular odball characters. The chemistry between John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga is perfect. Tim Robbins tormenting his passengers with showtunes is hysterical. But above all I say this…what makes this movie so special is its ability to actually infuse the viewer with a strong desire to live and grow. This movie isn’t just about cutting through heaps of differences to find your soulmate, it’s about being brave…to love life…to embrace the world. I promise you’ll come away feeling energized and passionate.
And if you don’t, well then just enjoy the DVD Features:
* Commentary by director Rob Reiner
* Never-Before-Seen “The Road to The Sure Thing” Featurette
* 3 New Mini-Featurettes on the Making of The Sure Thing
* Trivia Track
* Hidden Menu Features
* Widescreen anamorphic format
Okay, I’m off to wtach the movie!
