This week’s so called popular releases are, “Extraordinary Measures”, “Invictus,” “The Spy Next Door” and “Valentines Day.”. Ah what garbage!  My DVD pick of the week is the film/documentary, “When You’re Strange-A Film About The Doors.” Woody Harrelson’s “The Messenger” gets honorable mention.

Extraordinary Measures stars Harrison Ford, Keri Russell and Brendan Fraser.

It’s about a couple, John (Fraser) and Aileen Crowley(Russell) who try to find a researcher who might have a cure for their children’s rare genetic disorder.

This veers more from the norm here on Cinema Static and our usual action, science fiction tendencies, but I’m thinking that Harrison Ford pretty much makes good stuff and if you’re a fan, there ya have it.
