DVD/Blu-Ray Picks Of The Week - 2/22/11

Rupert Pupkin's (Rupert Pupkin Speaks) Pick of the Week:

SWEET SMELL OF SUCESS-Criterion (Region 1 DVD and Blu-Ray): I'm extremely excited that Criterion is bringing this film out on Blu-Ray. It is one of the great film noirs out there and features gorgeous B&W cinematography from James Wong Howe, crackling dialogue and fantastic performances from Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster.

Aaron's (The Death Rattle) Pick of the Week:

MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT (Region 1 DVD and Blu-Ray) - The first of a two-part French gangster epic starring Vincent Cassel (BLACK SWAN, IRREVERSIBLE, et al.) has been available for a while on region 2 DVD, but has finally been released on region 1 DVD and Blu-Ray through Music Box Films. Unfortunately you'll have to wait until March 29th for the region 1 DVD/Blu-Ray release of its continuation, PUBLIC ENEMY #1.

Sammy's (GGtMC) Pick:

I adore these animated films, and this was one of my favorite Superman stories ever published. I expect very
good things, I actually haven't seen the film yet but I think that this will be possibly one of the best yet from DC.
