New DVD Releases for the Week of August 18 2009
Here is a list of the new DVD Releases for the week of August 18 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):
The Poker House
Synopsis: An ordinary day in young Agnes' life is anything but. With a strung-out mother, a pimp father and a home overrun by gamblers, thieves and johns, Agnes is simply trying to survive, along with her two younger sisters.
Cast: Selma Blair, Jennifer Lawrence, Bokeem Woodbine, David Alan Grier
Director: Lori Petty
Recommendations: One of my friends saw this a couple of years ago at a Festival (can't remember which one), and she told me it was really good, so I think I'm going to add The Poker House to my Netflix queue.
Movies Coming Out This Weekend June 26 2009
Wondering what movies are coming out to theaters this Friday, June 26, 2009? Here is a list with our recommendations (which you can take or leave, it's up to you).
DEFINITELY WATCH AT THE MOVIES
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
This is Transformers 2! I think that's all I need to say...
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Synopsis: Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.
SURVEILLANCE Movie Trailer
Check out the trailer for SURVEILLANCE starring Julia Ormond, Bill Pullman, Pell James, Ryan Simpkins, and directed by Jennifer Chambers Lynch.
I don't know why but that trailer has got me very intrigued. You have to ask yourself, "what really did happen?"
Surveillance will be released to limited theaters on June 26, 2009. Watch the trailer below.
Surveillance Synopsis: It's been a hell of a day on the highway.
When Federal Officers Elizabeth Anderson (Julia Ormond) and Sam Hallaway (Bill Pullman) arrive at Captain Billing's office, they have three sets of stories to figure out and a string of vicious murders to consider.
One zealot cop, a strung out junkie and an eight year old girl all sit in testimony to the roadside rampage, but as the Feds begin to expose the fragile little details each witness conceals so carefully with a well practiced lie, they soon discover that uncovering 'the truth' can come at a very big cost...
