DVD Pick of the Week: Drillbit Taylor - Page 2

Part of: DVD Pick of the Week

Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns. I have never seen a Tyler Perry film and I cannot say that I have ever had any great desire to do so. That isn't to say he is not worth watching or is not talented, I just have not felt the draw. Although, I have to say that of all his films, this one seems to be one I would like. Perhaps I will give this one a shot. Now, if he would only stop putting his name on the titles.... (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

My Blueberry Nights. Wong Kar Wai has made some beautiful films. I have not seen this, but one would hope that it would at least approach his other works. This is his first English language film and also the first starring role for singer Norah Jones. The film looks like a good one and will hopefully prove to be so. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

Lamb of God: Walk with Me in Hell. Want to hear some heavy music? These guys deliver. This two-DVD set features live footage and chronicles their most recent tour cycle. I am not terribly well versed in the music over their career, but the couple of albums I have heard I really like. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

Sex and Death 101. Simon Baker and Winona Ryder star in this comedy about a man who receives a list containing the names of all the women he will have sex with in his life. This man then becomes targeted by a woman who pursues men guilty of sex crimes. I have heard some good things, should be worth checking out. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)

City of Men. This film was championed to the screen by producer Fernando Merielles who had previously directed City of God, another story about life on the other side of Brazil. This film is based on a popular television show and chronicles the paths of two childhood friends whose friendship is torn apart. The movie received good reviews when it was released. It arrives on DVD complete with a making of featurette that takes you behind the scenes of the story. (BUY, RENT, SKIP)
