New DVD and Blu-ray ReleasesThis week we see almost 100 new DVD & Blu-ray releases hitting the streets on Tuesday, December 4th, 2012.  Amongst the list are a few highly anticipated projects with stars like Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Albert Brooks (voice), Jennifer Garner, Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Patrick Stewart and Tom Green.  (Some MST3K and Godzilla fans might want to check out the “other titles” section below!)

But first…

Top Selling & Rental Titles

Brave on Blu-rayFor the week ending Nov. 18th, Rentrak Corporation reports that Brave is the No. 1 selling titled, followed by The Amazing Spider-Man, Savages, The Watch and Arthur Christmas rounding out the top-five titles.  (The Avengers is eighth on the list of top-sellers.)

(Did you catch my review of Savages?)

The rental list is a little bit different from the sellers.

The Amazing Spider-Man on blu-rayThe Amazing Spider-Man leads the list, followed by Prometheus, The Campaign, Brave and That’s My Boy in the top-five of the rental realm. (The Avengers is seventh on this list.)

Does anyone find it interesting that folks are curious enough to make Prometheus a top-five rental, but it doesn’t even crack the list of top-ten sellers?  To me, I can guess that folks are curious.  But not committed to the newest in the Alien franchise of Ridley Scott’s.  I could be wrong, but that’s my first thought when I see these charts.

Savages, a quick movie review

A quickie movie review from Brusimm: Savages comes at you right up front and sets the tone for what you can expect in the categories of gore and sex. (No… not at the same time.) It delivers a wonderful piece of action that’s capped off with an ending that should either satisfy you or confound you.

But all in all, it’s a good story told around a decent bit of action.

Blake Lively, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Taylor Kitsch in Savages

Savages, from the illustrious Oliver Stone, stars Blake Lively, Taylor Kitsch, & Aaron Johnson as pot growers who have taken a combination of smart schooling, a good sense for great pot, and a serious amount of field testing and put it to a profitable business. But Stone pits our indie pot growers against the drug cartel who wants in on their action. Other critical cast includes Benicio del Toro, John Travolta and Salma Hayek in a great new kind of role for her.

on Amazon:  Savages, rent or purchase

Salma Hayek in SavagesThe movie starts out setting a tone of the adult nature of the story, from some torture scenes to “intimate” scenes that most parents won’t want to be explaining to their kids.

The story is about two guys who figure out how to grow the perfect pot and they go on to sell and market it. They grow their business to the point that the cartel wants in on their part of the world. But they decline. Politely.
