Ah, the smell of new DVDs is in the air, and we're back to highlight this Tuesday's releases. No huge movies this week, but there should be a few worth watching. Let's take a looksee.
First off, the one I really want to see is Dead Snow. This is a Norweigian horror movie about a group of friends on a snowy weekend getaway who unleash, wait for it...Nazi zombies! Woohoo! That's an awesome plot, and what's better is that it actually looks like a fun ride! From the trailers there seems to be a comedy-horror vibe to it akin to Shaun of Dead, whereas they treat the horror as equal as the comedy. Give me even a fraction of that and I'll be satisfied!
OK, next we go more mainstream with Everybody's Fine. This is the Robert DeNiro flick about a recently widowed father traveling to see all of his grown kids for the holidays when they decide not to come to him. Looks like a possible tearjerker with a couple of laughs thrown in. Something about the trailers made me want to see it. Maybe it was DeNiro's earnestness?
Next we have a move I really didn't get from the trailers. It's Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. What is this movie trying to be? I know it's based a on a series of books, but it just seemed directionless in the trailers. I have some curiosity about it, but it'll be awhile before I get to this one, I'm talking years most likely!
There's also a very cool looking stop-motion animated British import, an Uma Thurman comedy, a movie about the soccer team Leeds United, and a Takashi Miike adaptation of a PS2 Yakusa game. All sound interesting.
