Two recent Oscar-nominated films land on DVD and Blu-ray this week.
My pick over at CityNews.ca is Jason Reitman's Up in the Air. Starring George Clooney and Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air is a very relevant film that looks at the state of our economy in a humorous tone. It was my top pick of 2009 and is the only film I've given five out of five to. It looks great on Blu-ray as well. The other Oscar nominee being released is Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire. Although it's a bit of a downer, it is a very important film that needs to be watched.
Other titles coming out this week include Michael Moore's documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, the horrible animated film Planet 51, and Troy Duffy's The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (check out an interview I did with Duffy back when the film was in theatres).
Next week I'll be reviewing Blu-ray releases of the classics Clash of the Titans (1981) and The Neverending Story (1984), and I'll also be checking out new releases Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Princess and the Frog, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and Armored.
