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.

  1. I was so excited to hear about "The Sweet Smell of Success" on Criterion. That is one of the best movies of all time and made me fall in love with Burt Lancaster. Screw "From Here to Eternity"!
