DVD Pick of the Week: Sweeney Todd
Published April 01, 2008
Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. As we draw ever closer to the release of the sure-to-be-awful remake (I am willing to be proven wrong), we get a new DVD release of the sequel to the Jamie Lee Curtis original. I have seen neither, but hope to change that. This film seems to be unrelated to the original and involves ghostly possession and revenge. A prom queen is killed by her boyfriend, whom she plans to exact revenge on thirty years later on prom night.
Blue Man Group: How to Be a Megastar. How can anyone not like the Blue Man Group? I have a pair of their audio releases, and their music is quite infectious. This new DVD release is an instructional manual that outlines the steps needed to become a megastar. Sounds like a winner to me!
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle SE. Much like the Prom Night II release, here is a release designed to help cash in on, while also promoting, the impending sequel. I have not done any research to see if this release is different from the other one, but if you don't have it, you may want to check this out. The movie may look like a stupid comedy on the surface. If you look beneath you will find a stupid comedy, but one that delivers on the laughs. One hopes that the sequel will succeed in the funny area as well.
