Out Today on DVD 6/9/2009

I’m going to start this week off with a movie I’ve never seen but have heard nothing but good things about. Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino. It looked good, and I have no excuse for missing it, but it’s hitting DVD and Blu-ray today. Clint Eastwood usually makes movies that are mediocre or better and he’s a fantastic director, generally, so I can’t imagine that this will be too bad.

Next on the list today is the Blu-ray release of Predator 2. Sure, this movie isn’t the best, but it’s far better than all of the other sequel films bearing the Predator name. And this movie has Danny Glover and Bill Paxton in it, so it’s a bonus on that front.

The last thing I’d like to point you to this week is National Geographic’s Ultimate WWII Collection. It’s a 6 disc collection that contains plenty of archive footage and interviews with WWII veterans like Bob Dole.
