DVD Picks of the Week – Back to the Future, Alien Anthology, Winter’s Bone and More

Winters Bone Bluray CoverWinter’s Bone

Last May I was sitting in the theater getting ready to watch the most realistically brutal film I have seen all year, Harry Brown, and I was delighted to see this trailer.  I had never heard of the film.  But I was dying to see it.  Now it is 5 months later, and I have still not seen the movie.  I might be going to RedBox tonight to watch it.  If I can’t convince you to check this out then maybe the fact the it was the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance will help sway you towards a watch.

What film are you most looking forward to?  Did something come out this week that I missed that you can’t wait to buy?  Let us know in the comments below.

    Overall- Good film worthy of a recommendation. Grand Jury Prize at Sundance…ehhh. Nevertheless.

    If there is one thing I didn’t necessarily like about this film, it would have to be the payoff. Without saying too much, I think the ride was worth the price admission but the cart slid slightly off the tracks towards the end. For casual movie goers, I could see there needing to be more action and adrenaline to keep the interest intact, whereas here we see more emotion than energy diving the the plot.

    For the casual movie goer looking to experience a soulless scavenger hunt in the same vein as Winter’s Bone, I’d recommend last year’s “The Road”.
