Your Weekly Source for the Newest Releases to Blu-Ray

Not a huge week for new Blu-Ray releases, but there are certainly a few of significant noteworthiness… and, Triple H is not one of them. Sorry, to all the wrestling fans out there. Resurrected from the 80’s are the slasher flick THE DORM THAT DRIPPED BLOOD and John Boorman’s EXCALIBUR, an under-appreciated telling of the times of Kign Arthur.

*Perhaps the best documentary of 2010, EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP is an intriguing film about art and artist, and the personality in between, but it’s also an adventure into a world with which few of us have any experience. Charles Ferguson’s INSIDE JOB is a documentary about the recent financial meltdown.

*Indicated that I actually feel it IS the best, but am attempting to be impartial.

Writer/director Jeong-beom Lee’s THE MAN FROM NOWHERE is yet another fine example of the quality filmmaking emerging from South Korea. FOUR LIONS is a dramedy about a man who forms a small terrorist cell, a film Time Magazine has placed on it’s Top Ten Films of 2010 list. Finally, and I know it’s not a “movie” but, AMC’s television series THE WALKING DEAD (based on the graphic novels) is so good, it’s worth mentioning. Plus, the first season was directed by Frank Darabont (SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE MIST) so, that counts… right?

Synopsis:

From Academy Award nominated filmmaker, Charles Ferguson (NO END IN SIGHT), comes INSIDE JOB, the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, INSIDE JOB traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia. Narrated by Academy Award winner Matt Damon, INSIDE JOB was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.

INSIDE JOB will be in theaters on October 8th, 2010. Visit the film on Facebook.
