New DVD Releases for the Week of August 25 2009
Here is a list of the new DVD Releases for the week of August 25 2009, as well as my intentions to buy, rent, watch on TV, or skip (for TV on DVD releases head over to Daemon's TV):
Adventureland
Synopsis: It's the summer of 1987, and James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg), an uptight recent college grad, can't wait to embark on his dream tour of Europe.
But when his parents (Wendie Malick and Jack Gilpin) announce they can no longer subsidize his trip, James has little choice but to take a lowly job at a local amusement park. Forget about German beer, world-famous museums and cute French girls-James' summer will now be populated by belligerent dads, stuffed pandas, and screaming kids high on cotton candy. Lucky for James, what should have been his worst summer ever turns into quite an adventure as he discovers love in the most unlikely place with his captivating co-worker Em (Kristen Stewart), and learns to loosen up.
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Martin Starr, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader
Director: Greg Mottola
Recommendations: I really loved this movie when I saw it in theaters and it's definitely worth owning.
Buy it: ADVENTURELAND on Amazon
DUPLICITY Review

DUPLICITY (3.5 out of 5 stars)
When I went to see Duplicity over the weekend, I wasn't too excited to see it. Quite frankly I had had what I like to call "trailer fatigue," which happens when you watch the trailer for one movie so much that it gradually decreases your excitement to go see it. Yes, Clive Owen was in it as well as Julia Roberts, but even that didn't help. So it was very reluctantly that I was dragged to the movies.
But here is where things get better. When the movie starts, we get a pretty cool opening scene showing Richard Garsik (Paul Giamatti) and Howard Tully (Tom Wilkinson) each CEOs of rival companies coming at each screaming and then throwing down. Nothing too original or exciting, right? Well, just imagine it in slow motion. Every weird face expression of not only the CEOs but their entourage is caught on camera. It's really cool and puts you right in the middle of the rivalry between the two companies. In addition, it also sets up the movie perfectly right there and then.
The rest of the movie then focuses on Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and Ray Koval (Clive Owen), two ex-spies who are working together to try and pull a con job. I gotta say, these two work very well together, I really loved their dynamic and I wasn't bored throughout the whole movie. It all was very entertaining and pretty clever.
Now I'm not going to tell you how it all ends, but I will say this, the end was one of my favorite part of the movie.
Overall I think Duplicity is definitely worth a look. And if not in theaters at least on DVD.
