Lawrence Kasdan’s classic western romp Silverado comes out on Blu-ray today and I can’t reccomend this film highly enough. It’s smart, tightly written, funny, and chock full of adventure and suspense. Add to that a stellar cast that includes Kevin Kline, John Cleese, Danny Glover, Scott Glenn, and Kevin Costner (among many others), and you have one of the most engaging westerns ever made.

David Mamet’s Homicide comes out from Criterion today. Released in 1991, it stars Joe Mantegna in an urban cop thriller. Even at his worst, Mamet is worth watching and I’m excited to see this one.

Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks comes out on DVD today. This film is an interesting oddity and one well worth checking out again. I hadn’t seen it since I was young and didn’t know if it would hold up, though it does surprisingly well. In fact, my only complaint about it now is the length. It’s preposterously long, but very fun.

The deal of the day is Darren Arronofsky’s brilliant Requiem for a Dream on Blu-ray. Brand new it’s on sale for $9.99 on amazon. That’s a steal and well worth the money for this amazing film.
