New on DVD: Kill List (2011)
Kill List is one of the most haunting, compelling, and (at moments) repellant movies to come down the pike in some time. One of its great strengths is that it keeps us guessing about just what kind of movie it is.
New on DVD: The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
For those of you who don’t like horror movies, who have become weary of the usual clichés, here’s some blessed relief. It’s called The Cabin in the Woods and it is terrific.
New on DVD: The Queen of Versailles (2012)
It’s a testament to the evenhandedness of The Queen of Versailles that you don’t end up hating its money-centric subjects. But it does raise a troubling question: Does having too much money make you dumb?
New on DVD: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is as comfortable as an old pair of shoes and about as surprising. An adaptation of Deborah Moggach’s novel, it's been carefully calculated to please the over-50 demographic.
New on DVD: Bernie (2011)
Bernie, a based-on-fact study of a small-town eccentric now serving a life sentence in a Texas prison, will be celebrated years from now as one of actor Jack Black’s finest moments.
