DVD Picks of the Week – Back to the Future, Alien Anthology, Winter’s Bone and More

Alien Anthology (Blu-ray)

I love every film in this series.  For me, Aliens is by far the best.  It follows the stereotypical formula of sequels in horror films where the military becomes involved to take out the monster/ aliens.  It just feels very different while still keeping the same concept, and it works perfectly.  A lot of people have dislike for the third and fourth installments in this series.  While they are not better than the first two by any stretch, they are certainly better than the two Alien vs. Predator films.  I am sure these look beautiful in the Blu-ray format, and each disc comes with audio commentary, original trailers, and deleted scenes.

  • Overall- Good film worthy of a recommendation. Grand Jury Prize at Sundance...ehhh. Nevertheless.

    If there is one thing I didn't necessarily like about this film, it would have to be the payoff. Without saying too much, I think the ride was worth the price admission but the cart slid slightly off the tracks towards the end. For casual movie goers, I could see there needing to be more action and adrenaline to keep the interest intact, whereas here we see more emotion than energy diving the the plot.

    For the casual movie goer looking to experience a soulless scavenger hunt in the same vein as Winter's Bone, I'd recommend last year's "The Road".
