The Lookout - August 14
I looked forward to Scott Frank's directorial debut and wasn't disappointed at all. Frank, other than having that weird two first name thing, wrote two of the best Elmore Leonard screen adaptations ever with GET SHORTY and OUT OF SIGHT (no, I'm not forgetting JACKIE BROWN). Joseph Gordon Levitt has turned himself into a pretty good actor who, as my lady friend put it, is "easy on the loins." Last time I sneak the little C-U-N-Tuesday into a rated R flick.
Includes:
- 2.40:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
- English and French DD5.1 Surround
- English, French and Spanish subtitles
- “Behind the Mind of Chris Pratt” - A feature exploring Joseph Gordon Levitt’s critically-acclaimed portrayal of the main character
- “Sequencing The Lookout“ - Making-of featurette
- Audio Commentaries - By writer/director Scott Frank and director of photography Alar Kivilo
Year of the Dog - August 28
Mike White and Molly Shannon seems like a perfect comedy pairing in theory. So did it execute "the funny"? Chime in if you've seen DOG. I was going to say that I haven't seen her in anything in a while but then I looked her up at IMDB and holy schneikies was I wrong. Oh well. Book 'em Dan-o I'm FIVE-OH. Fifty years old. Ahh, the good ol' days.
Includes:
- Commentary with writer/director Mike White and Molly Shannon

Meet the Robinsons - October 23
So far in my movie going experiences, 3D flicks never really got me into a flick. Especially with those awful blue and red 3D glasses that made everything look like shit. Stupid blue and red 3D glasses. Going to see ROBINSONS in 3D at the theatre was one of the coolest flicks to see ever. Ever? Well, it's up there. It sounds tool-ish but shit was really coming at you when watching it in 3D. Now the question is, what the hell was I doing there anyway?
