DVD Dump New Releases: May 19, 2009
I did a lot of thinking about how most of these DTV movies are on the shelves of rental stores, in the queues on Netflix, and even taking up the majority of the slots on RedBoxes. While trying to figure out the audience for these particular movies, it donned on me. When I was a kid, I would generally judge a movie based on the cover or prior knowledge of similar movies in determining what I’d like to see at the video store. That being said, I’ve summarized this week’s new DTV releases with quote from the kid in me the preferred the frosty side (nobody under the age of 18 will understand that joke).
Detective Story
“This is, like, the awesome version of Law and Order.”
The Devil’s Ground
“That chick from Kill Bill is in it. It would be awesome if this were the prequel.”
Driven to Kill
“Bullets, blood, and bodies hitting the ground? Awesome!”
Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts
“Doggies! SQUEEEEEEEEE!”
Eden Log
“Sweet! C.H.U.D. 2! Dad, can I live in a cave?”
Infected
“Alien invasion? I’d shoot the mayor too in that situation.”
Labou
“Can I get one for Christmas? I’ll trade the cat in for it.”
DVD Dump Pick of the Week:
Outlander
“Jesus faught dragons with Vikings on another planet! Why don’t they teach this in sunday school?”
Riot on 42nd Street
“Are the 1980’s part of The Great Depression I keep hearing about in history class?”
