Avatar: OK, how about the 5 other people that haven't seen this yet, either, come on over to my house, and we'll sit down and take a good 4 hours or whatever to watch this thing. Problem is, I'll still feel left out because it's not IMAX and 3-D. So you know what? Let's call the whole thing off. We'll get together soon and watch something else, I promise. "The African Queen" is on disc now. Let's watch that.
Crazy Heart: I didn't see this one, either, but I paid attention during awards season, and from what I gather, Jeff Bridges plays a pot-smoking actor who goes around to black-tie events and gets standing ovations. You know, typical indie flick.
The Lovely Bones: Peter Jackson screws up yet another popular book.
The Young Victoria: This week's Official "Watch it; it's good for you" Selection, endorsed by the Librarians for Costume Dramas Association.
The Bill Cosby Show Season 2: Kudos to Shout for finishing the series, but a thumbs down for exiling it to the "online exclusive" territory. This lesser-known but high-quality sitcom should be more widely available because it's just that good...because of respect for The Cos...and because I want to rent it instead of paying 40 bucks to get it online.
44-Inch Chest: The movie's not about what you think it's about, unless you think it's a crime caper with a Who's Who of crime caper guys like Ray Winstone, Tom Wilkinson. The flick's own promo copy describes it as "outrageously profane and surprisingly tender"--just like Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma's house.
Perry Mason Season 5 Volume 1: I'm not saying these sets have been coming out for a while, but in this volume, Perry Mason solves a bunch of cases while taking the time to enjoy an occasional brandy and cigar with his good buddy James Spader.
