Not sure which DVD to pull off the new release shelf? Need a new Blu-ray to show off in 1080p? Or maybe you're looking through the new releases on Netflix and don't know what to add to your DVD queue? Take my advice and either buy-it, rent-it, skip-it, or wait-for-it to become available on HBO, Starz or Netflix instant queue.
Here are the new movies on DVD and Blu-ray this week:
For Colored Girls - Skip-it - Janet Jackson and Oprah Winfrey (yes, you read those two names correctly as actresses starring in a feature film) are two black females in this Tyler Perry special interest/drama based on an award-winning play named "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" (yes, "enuf" and not "enough") - I think you know my opinion by now - and probably have made your own.
It's Kind of a Funny Story - Rent-it - This sentimental piece about a 16-year old boy befriending a psychiatric patient (Zach Galifianakis) is promising at times, including moving performances from the entire cast, but it will ultimately leave you shaking your head in disappointment.
Life As We Know It - Skip-it - Another predictable romcom starring Katherine Heigl, who only succeeds at one thing, making her male co-stars almost as uninteresting as the formulaic script.
My Soul to Take - Skip-it - Wes Craven misses again with this overly complex, incomprehensible tale about a murderer who swore to return and kill the children born the day he died. Confused yet?
You Again - Skip-it - Kristen Bell will never look hotter than she does standing next to Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver in this less-than-average, run-of-the-mill chick flick.
Paranormal Activity 2 - Rent-it - Even if you didn't see the first film in this terrifying low-budget horror series, this film about a haunted home will still entertain and scare. And though this prequel isn't quite as intense, it's actually better written and a more interesting plot.
Wild Target - Skip-it - A lackluster British dramedy remake of a French film about an assassin who aims to please his mother, and despite the star-filled cast and laughable plot, the script lacks any laughs worth even recommending an on-demand streaming viewing of this film.
