DVDs You Didn’t Know Were Coming: March Edition
Sunday was the Oscars and now March is full with all types of Oscar nominees among other things. Let’s dive right into the thick of it.
March 1st
Oscar hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco both have movies coming out on DVD/Blu-Ray this week with 127 Hours and Love and Other Drugs. Meanwhile Burlesque is coming to DVD/Blu-Ray as well. For those who don’t know Burlesque is the musical that was so bad that it didn’t even get a best song nomination this year. The Pirates of the Carribean Trilogy is coming to blu-ray as well as George Clooney’s Out of Sight but the pick this week is Bambi on Blu-Ray and DVD since Disney likes to close those Vault Doors as quickly as they open them.
March 8th
Best Documentary winner Inside Job is coming out this week along with Jackass 3D and the first season of Walking Dead. Daniel Tosh’s Happy Thoughts will be out 2 days after its Comedy Central Premiere, Hannah Montana season 4 is getting a DVD release (FINALLY) as well as the blu-ray releases of Exit Through the Gift Shop and The Dorm That Dripped Blood. However the Pick of the week is Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XX on DVD featuring Project Moonbase, Master Ninja 1 and 2 and the Magic Voyage of Sinbad.
March 15th
Oscar Nominated films The Fighter and Hereafter get a blu-ray/DVD release as well as the Oscar Snubs like The Switch and Sharktopus. But the pick of the week is easily the Blu-Ray release of 1983’s BMX Bandits.
March 22nd
If I had to think of 3 movies that somehow found themselves as the butt of the most jokes in the film world this year, they’d be The Tourist, Yogi Bear and Skyline; all of which happen to be coming out on DVD/Blu-Ray this week. On Blu-Ray Stand by Me and the 90’s version of Stand by Me (aka The Sandlot) come out, as well as Scary Movie 4, Awakenings, Robots and Anastasia. The Pick of the week of was the Blu-Ray/DVD release of Buster Keaton’s Masterpiece Our Hospitality.
March 29th
Once again the Oscar Nominated Tangled and Black Swan are getting released on DVD/Blu-Ray, as well as Dogtooth, Topsy-Turvy and Mad Men Season 4. Religious films The Ten Commandments and King of Kings are getting blu-ray releases but the pick of the week is the sci-fi classic Soylent Green.
