Out Today on DVD 4/7/2009

First on the list today is the Pre-Code Hollywood Collection. I haven’t seen any of the movies in this set, but to date I’ve never been disappointed with pre-code Hollywood. This one has movies starring everyone from the likes of Cary Grant to Claudette Colbert.

Next we have what appears to be a nice collection of Max Fleischer’s Superman: 1941-1942. This is a two disc set and looks to be dandied up in all the right ways.

Doubt comes out today, which I didn’t get to see. It seemed like it was Oscar bait that was trying a little to hard to be so. But I love Phil Hoffman, so there’s always that.

Day the Earth Stood Still came out. I’m going to refrain from commenting on it until I get my copy to review in. But I will say it looks like it tried hard to be the antithesis of Oscar bait.

And, the last thing I’d like to note is that The Wedding Singer is coming out on Blu-ray. I don’t know why I liked this movie, but for some reason I seemed to.

I lied, one more thing this week: The 3 disc special edition of the Coen Brothers’ masterpiece No Country for Old Men. If you don’t own it already, now is the time.
