The first pick this week is the Criterion Collection’s release of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. This is the last time that Chaplin would play the Little Tramp character that made him famous and it’s a masterpiece, just like the rest of his work. If you’re not familiar with Chaplin, than you’re missing a giant hole in your knowledge of film.
Next on the list is the independent documentary film Best Worst Movie, which is about the cult classic Troll 2.
There’s yet another release of Avatar coming out today. It’s a three-disc set and contains all of the extended scenes featured in the most recent theatrical release, an even longer cut not shown in theatres and more. There’s also tons of documentaries and more than 45 minutes of deleted scenes.
It don’t really understand how you can make Avatar, add a half an hour to it, and then still have more than 45 minutes worth of deleted scenes, but that’s what this release, somehow.
The second season of The Twilight Zone hits Blu-ray today. Do I really need to say more about that one?
The last thing I’m putting on the list today is Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods. It’s a documentary about Grant Morrison. I haven’t seen it, so I can’t vouch for it’s quality, but it’s very comic book related, so I would be remiss if I didn’t draw any attention to it here.
You can watch the trailer “>here.
We’ll be back next week!
