We even have a late entry, as Let the Right One In - Blu-ray arrived.
TV on DVD has Andy Richter Controls the Universe - The Complete Series, from the classics we have The Odd Couple - Centennial Collection, from new releases we have Bolt - Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack, Blu-ray offers us James Bond Blu-ray Collection - Volume 3. However, I won't hold that against this week's releases, and there are a number that are worthy of the DVD Pick of the Week from practically every category. Technical difficulties with Amazon's site meant this column was a lot harder to get done than usual.
With the increasing number of TV on DVD releases, the list is large enough that it has to be split into two parts with part two found here.ĭVD Releases for March 24th, 2009 - Part I
That leaves The Middleman - The Complete Series as the DVD Pick of the Week, for the second week in a row. The Battlestar Galactica release is a tad too expensive for most people, while I am unsure of the exact nature of the extras on Dollhouse. Three such releases, The Middleman - The Complete Series, Battlestar Galactica - The Complete Series - Blu-ray Box Set, and Dollhouse - Season One - on DVD or Blu-ray are in contention for DVD Pick of the Week. It makes sense: after all, what better time to release the previous season on DVD than just before the next season starts? We are starting to see the flood of TV on DVD releases that hit the home market this time every year. This is actually a little better than expected, given its box office numbers.ĭVD Releases for July 28th, 2009 - Part I That film was Dark Skies, which opened in first place with 136,000 units / $2.04 million. New releases were really weak with only one reaching the top ten on the DVD sales chart. PG-13 for street racing, violence, language and some sensuality.ĭVD Sales: Ray of Sunshine for Dark Skies September 30th, 2003 by Universal Home Entertainment See the Box Office tab (Domestic) and International tab (International and Worldwide) for more Cumulative Box Office Records.
Overall, this movie is little more than an exercise in "car porn," with the story being little more than an excuse to get to the fast driving.All Time Domestic Box Office (Rank 501-600)Īll Time International Box Office (Rank 901-1,000)Īll Time Worldwide Box Office (Rank 601-700) The rat is covered by a bucket, and a man threatens to heat up the bucket so the rat chews through the bucket and attacks his private parts. In perhaps the most disturbing scene in the movie, a man is tied down with a rat placed on his chest. There is frequent profanity, including "s-t" and "d-k." Though there are two strong female characters, women on the whole are little more than bikini-clad objects who exist to dance around the racing cars while the men slap their behinds or refer to them as little more than "potential." The two lead characters settle their grudges by getting into a fistfight. Unsurprisingly, just as in the original movie, there are frequent illegal street car races, often resulting in accidents and reckless driving. Parents need to know that 2 Fast 2 Furious is the 2003 sequel to The Fast and The Furious.
