This Week on Blu-Ray and DVD (August 14, 2012)

DVD Picks of the Week – “Stone”, “Buried”, “Justified” Season 1
Title: Stone Starring: Robert DeNiro, Milla Jovovich, Edward Norton Directed by: John Curran Synopsis: A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a correctional officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman’s path. My take: Stone is a below average movie with above average performances. Overall, the film just didn’t […]
Tuesday DVD / Blu-ray Releases – Kick-Ass, The Ghost Writer, and More

I did not, however, enjoy […]
