PASSENGERS – March 24th

Remaking FINAL DESTINATION was a weird move, and casting Anne Hathaway was a weird casting of Devon Sawa’s character. Oh wait, this wasn’t a remake of FINAL DESTINATION? It was simply another movie about survivors of a plane crash having a bunch of weird shit happen to them, mostly ending in death? Weird. No wonder it was a small blip on the theatrical radar, and now it’s a small blip on DVD. Anne Hathaway sure is hot though, huh? Hell yeah.

EPITAPH – March 31st

I couldn’t tell you what this flick is about, or why it deserves to be here among the elite newly announced DVD releases this week, other than a) it’s a hella slow week for some reason, and b) this cover flippin’ rocks! A bathtub with a dead body in it, a group of bizarrely serene people (are they family… or a cult!), and the title itself… add it all together, and I want to know more about this flick! But really… it’s a slow week on the DVD front.
