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.

RUDO Y CURSI Movie Trailer #2
Check out the trailer for RUDO Y CURSI starring Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal and directed by Carlos Cuarón.
Not too long ago I posted a great first trailer for Rudo Y Cursi. It was so simple and effective that it stayed in my mind since then. Probably, one of my favorite trailers ever. And now we get a longer trailer that shows a little more of the movie, and now I'm even more excited to watch it. Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal have such great chemistry together, Rudo y Cursi is bound to be at least entertaining.
Rudo Y Cursi will be released to theaters on limited theaters on May 8, 2009. Watch the trailer below.
Rudo Y Cursi Synopsis: Y Tu Mamá También costars Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna are reunited on the big screen in Rudo y Cursi, a delightful romp of a comedy drama deftly directed by Carlos Cuaron. Beto (Luna) and Tato (Bernal) are a pair of rivaling, dim-witted brothers who work on a dusty banana ranch and play soccer for their local team. Beto, a goalie whose hot temper on the field earns him the nickname of Rudo, dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, while Tato wants to be a famous singer. They both share the dream of building a big house for their mother, Elvira, but all of their desires seem completely out of reach, that is, until a talent scout, Batuta, discovers their skill on the field. To Beto’s chagrin, it is Tato, whose curlicue field play earns him the nickname of Cursi, who is chosen to become a star player. Not to be bested, Beto scores a goalie position on a rival team, further intensifying the competition between them. But success makes the brothers confront their own personal demons and sets them on a chase for more than just soccer balls.Cuaron keeps the energy high and the laughter rolling even as he crafts a moral into the story. But even if the dueling brothers do find a way out of the banana ranch, will the banana ranch ever find a way out of them?
RUDO Y CURSI Movie Trailer & Poster with Diego Luna & Gael Garcia Bernal
Check out the trailer and poster for the movie RUDO Y CURSI, starring Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal and directed by Carlos Cuarón.
I first wrote about Rudo Y Cursi back in August, when I shared some pictures. And now, thanks to Cinematical we get our first look at the poster.
Rudo Y Cursi follows two rival brothers who work on a banana ranch and play soccer.
I cannot wait to see it. Even if I didn't understand a thing they said in the trailer, it still made me laugh out loud just because of what they're doing and the situation they're in. I love Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal, they're both really great actors, and it's going to be fun seeing them in a movie again.
Rudo Y Cursi will be released to limited theaters on Mat 8, 2009. Watch the trailer below.

Check out some pictures of Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal in RUDO Y CURSI, directed and written by Carlos Cuarón.
I'm always in when it comes to Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal. They are such great actors and so far have both done pretty good movies. Plus for some reason I always enjoy watching sports film, which is weird because I don't especially enjoy sports in general, except tennis, but I digress. Point is, I'm going to keep this film in mind.
