DVD Releases for 6-24-08

Here are the DVD releases for Tuesday, June 24, 2008.

IN BRUGES - Despite rave reviews, I think audiences were confused by the title and didn't check out this Colin Farrell film.

10,000 B.C. - Remember that prehistoric film from a few months ago? I barely do either.

THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES - This is the one with Mary Louise Parker who moves her family to a new home. Wait, wasn't that the premise to last weeks episode of WEEDS?

THE HAMMER - Comedy with Adam Carrolla that just about every critic was surprised by how much they liked.

DEFINITELY MAYBE - Ryan Reynolds tells his daughter how he met her mother. Bob Saget isn't involved.

PERSEPOLIS - The acclaimed animated feature makes it to DVD.

HONEYDRIPPER
- The new John Sayles film about blues musicians. What is going on with the world when a John Sayles film gets as little exposure as this one did?

XANADU: MAGICAL MUSICAL EDITION - Reissue (because of the Broadway play) of the Olivia Newton John film. It now includes a CD version of the soundtrack. I'm afraid to say I own the old version.

FUTURAMA: THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS - Another direct to DVD feature for the cult favorite cartoon.

RITA RUDNER: LIVE IN LAS VEGAS - Stand up film.

ZZ TOP: LIVE FROM TEXAS - Do you think they perform "Legs"?
