New Releases, week of 8/23/2011: POM Wonderful edition photo



POM Wonderful is delicious. I first discovered its delightful, pomegranate flavor back when I worked at Gamestop. My pretentious, Swedish d-bag of an assistant manager drank it all the time (the perks of that sweet, sweet ASM paycheck) and he let me try some once. It's only grown on me since. Imagine my delight when they showed up in the title spot in POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Morgan Spurlock's latest film, a documentary about making a documentary funded solely by product placement. Once POM signed on, every other beverage throughout the film was blurred out. POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold is a great movie, and happens to be the only big release this week I've seen (so far).

However, the other three big releases, Trollhunter, The Beaver, and Win Win all top my list of movies I want to see. Needless to say, I'll be cash poor by the end of the week.

Not much else jumps out this week, unless you love to marathon bad Disney sequels (like my girlfriend), because Bambi II is finally on Blu-ray. Thank God.

As always, the full list of releases is after the jump, and lemme know what you're picking up this week and if there's anything I didn't mention that is worth checking out!

It's a week of many new releases and re-releases on DVD and Blu-ray. Leading the way is Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to the big screen The Last Stand, along with the horror anthology The ABCs of Death, the Jason Statham fli...

New Releases, week of 5/18/13: Happy Little Cloud Edition

Today's affirmation: whenever you're feeling down, just remember that the blue Jedi ghost of Bob Ross loves you like a little woodland critter. This will save your life some day, trust me. The big new release this week is Clo...

New Releases, week of 5/11/13: Heading Upstream Edition

First off, sorry this edition of New Releases is a day later than usual. Running behind with lots of things this week. Netflix Now will also be a day late. I owe you an ice cream.* The new releases this week include Jack Reac...

Cleopatra getting 50th anniversary re-releases

Cleopatra, the epic film known as much for its off screen issues as it was for its grandeur, is turning 50 this year and 20th Century Fox isn't about to miss out on the opportunity to celebrate it. They've remastered the...

New Releases, week of 5/14/13: Big Bad Borg Edition

While most folks will be interested in Silver Linings Playbook today (as it earned a bunch of awards and the like), I'll be trying to find myself a copy of Manborg. We've featured a trailer for the film on the site recently a...

New Releases, week of 4/27/13: Gangsta's Paradise Edition

This week's biggest release is arguably the re-re-re-re-re-release of Jurassic Park (IN 3D!!!), oh, there's new stuff this week also? Well...then the biggest new release is probably Gangster Squad, which is ironic since Matt ...

New Releases, week of 4/20/13: Djangowned Edition

Howdy, folks, and welcome to this week's new releases, a sort of pre-Tribeca reprieve for me. This week boasts two genre deconstructions. The biggie is Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, starring Jamie Foxx (who, as Nick p...

New Releases, week of 4/13/13: Historical Hot Dog Edition

It's another slow week on the DVD/Blu-ray release front. The most high-profile title is the disappointing Hyde Park on Hudson, which features Bill Murray as FDR. (More accurately, Bill Murray doing an impersonation of Cary Gr...

New Releases, week of 4/6/13: All Cleaned Up Edition

I know something major happened yesterday... Hmm... weird. Don't know what it was. Funny how that works. An oddly sparse week with new releases. The biggest thing by far is a re-release: The Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase O...

New Releases, week of 3/30/13: Fightin' Abe Edition

Today is the day that Steven Spielberg's Lincoln rolls onto DVD and Blu-ray. I think Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt are my favorite U.S. Presidents. Both were supreme badasses in different ways. Lincoln steered the count...
