RT on DVD: Exclusive Slumdog Millionaire Clip, Seven Pounds, and The Matrix 10th Anniversary Blu-ray
Seven Pounds -- 28%
Superstar Will Smith has got range to rival any working actor in Hollywood (Six Degrees of Separation -- drama! Independence Day -- action! Ali -- boxing!) and part of what's impressive about him is his ever-varying career path. Unfortunately for Smith, he decided to follow up his blockbuster flicks I Am Legend and Hancock with Seven Pounds, a gimmicky thriller about an auditor on a secret mission involving seven strangers -- a twisty, complicated schmaltz fest that critics tore to pieces. Deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes (including one on a particularly deadly species of jellyfish) and a commentary by director Gabriele Muccino (who directed Smith in the superior Pursuit of Happyness) accompany the film.

on Mar 30 2009 08:09 PM I want to rent Timecrimes, I love movies that deal with time paradoxes and ideas. I'll stay way from Marly and Me, and also Seven Pounds which I heard sucked. I'll get Slumdog Millionaire for sure. Not much else for me in a while though. (Reply to this) |
on Mar 30 2009 08:23 PM Will get Slumdog Millionaire used soon (yep, I'm that broke right now). Nothing else this week. I'm really considering subscribing to Zip.ca (the Canadian equiavalent of Netflix) because the videoclub is kind far from home, but I don't know yet... (Reply to this) |
on Mar 30 2009 10:02 PM I'll get "The Matrix", haven't seen "Slumdog", I will now, and this week also has two of the weakest Best Picture winners. No offense to "An American in Paris" or "Gigi" (Not "Gigli"), but they're only okay. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 30 2009 10:23 PM I will get Slumdog Millionaire for sure as soon as it comes out. Also I am interested in Seven Pounds just because Ebert seemed to really like that movie, so I will rent it and see what it is all about. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 30 2009 10:28 PM In reply to this comment (#2404636) My mom liked "Seven Pounds". I haven't seen it, but I find her taste usally good. (She did reccomend "Jack Frost" to me though...hmmm.) (Reply to this) |

on Mar 30 2009 11:03 PM Wow, someone messed up. The Slumdog DVD is missing ALL of the special features listed on the packaging. Plus, they failed to use a different form of subtitling from that of the theatrical version... so if you're watching the movie on anything smaller than a 30ish inch screen, good luck reading the text. I don't know how someone messed up this bad. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 31 2009 05:53 AM You think An American In Paris and Gigi are weak Best Picture winners, wait till you see Slumdog. Slumdog is the film that trumped far better films to a nomination and even somehow managed to win. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 31 2009 07:43 AM Slumdog deserved its win. (Reply to this) |
on Mar 31 2009 09:43 AM WinterSkies06, which edition of Slumdog do you have? (Reply to this) |

on Mar 31 2009 09:57 AM Where are them dudes that bash everyone for posting opinions about movies in a forum that's used for posting opinions about movies? I added Slumdog to my movie list. Those two foreign films look good too. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 31 2009 10:28 AM Slumdog is amazing, will be picking it up. (Reply to this) |
on Mar 31 2009 10:29 AM I've got 'Tell No One' coming tomorrow, 'TimeCrimes' this weekend hopefully. I'll probably have to wait for Slumdog, as everyone wants to see it. Oh, and all you jealous suckers- I won two free tickets to a midnight showing of 'Slap Shot' Saturday night! (That's the only way I'd go. I'm not gonna pay $9 to see a movie my brother has on DVD...)

on Mar 31 2009 11:40 AM Just the plain old single disc from walmart. (Reply to this) |
on Mar 31 2009 04:11 PM In reply to this comment (#2404656) People actually still have tv's with screens smaller than 30 inches?! I have three tv's in my house and none of them are smaller than 32. (Reply to this) |

on Mar 31 2009 06:10 PM In reply to this comment (#2404562) Don't always believe what you hear jokerboy. Seven Pounds has a 73% from the RT community, which I always trust more than the critics. I personally thought it was a really good film, and Will Smith and Rosario Dawson gave great performances. Anyway, I'll be picking that up. But most importantly, I will pick up Slumdog Millionaire. I also think I want to rent Timecrimes and Tell No One. I could do with some foreign language thrillers. I need some since I can't watch my Let The Right One In DVD until they re-release it with the proper subtitles. Anyone know when that might happen. (Reply to this) |
on Mar 31 2009 08:42 PM I just watch Slumdog Millionaire. It's really a great movie. (Reply to this) |
