DVD Pick of the Week: Andy Richter Controls the Universe - Page 3

Part of: DVD Pick of the Week

Never Say Never Again (Blu-ray). One of only a handful of Bond films that is not a part of the official series. Sean Connery returned to the role for this 1983 film, which is essentially a new take on Thunderball. It is not really all that good, but still fun and a must-have for the completist.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - A Galaxy Divided. Give this one a pass, it only has a handful of episodes from the series and it has already been announced that a full season set with extras is coming in the not-too-distant future.

Lilo & Stitch: 2-Disc Big Wave Edition. Where's the Blu-ray? This film was surprisingly good. I did not have high expectations for it before I saw it, but still enjoyed it. I'm Looking forward to a high definition release.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. George Lazenby's only outing as James Bond and is it a good one! I really like this film, it is a bit different, offers some nice character development, and features a wedding for a main character. Too bad this isn't a Blu-ray release.

A Mighty Heart (Blu-ray). This is a triumph of a film that gives us incredible human drama; a tense story that keeps you at attention (even knowing the ending); and is, at its heart, a story of love between Mariane and Daniel. It is a movie that does not belittle what happened, nor does it aim to make Daniel or Mariane a hero, it does give us a story that is free of the politics that you would expect to see and also aims to put the focus on the continuing ongoing tragedies that are occurring in the Middle East.

Snakehead Terror. I remember watching this on Sci-Fi (or is it SyFy now?). It is simply terrible. If you like bad movies, be my guest. Don't say I didn't warn you.
