One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest on Blu-Ray seems to be the only DVD release this week that is worth your checking out. The film is really one of the best movies of the 70s.
Jack Nicholson turns in one of the best performances of his career, which is saying a lot. And the heart-wrenching ending is worth buying the blu-ray for.
And watching it, you’ll get about half a dozen Simpsons references that you didn’t get before.
There’s one more geek-related release this week, but I’m loathe to mention it because it sucks so bad. But the entire series (all 14 episodes of it) of Birds of Prey are being released. I’m mildly interested in it enough to pick it up for rent, but buying it seems out of the question. I watched the pilot to this and it frustrates me how bad it was since any halfway decent writer and Bat-fan (like me) could have made something great out of this.
