RT on DVD: Gran Torino, Crossing Over, Nobel Son Exclusive Look
Hippies old and new should take a look at the 40th Anniversary Director's Cut of this seminal rock documentary, which captured the three-day 1969 love fest in upstate New York that served as a touchstone for an entire generation. The newly remastered version of director Michael Wadleigh's film --- edited by the likes of Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker --- also contains an extra hour of never before seen concert footage and is a must-own for former flower children and fans of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Jefferson Airplane, and the 20-odd musical performers who took the stage. Blu-ray owners have the added benefit of building interactive playlists that can be shared with other BD viewers.
Until next week, happy renting!

on Jun 08 2009 05:34 PM "Crossing Over" is nothing to celebrate. "Gran Torino" I'll see, but I know some people who hate it...some. Nothing else worth mentioning, exxept "Noble Son" was disapointing (Reply to this) |

on Jun 08 2009 09:12 PM Definitely getting Gran Torino tomorrow and that will be it. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 08 2009 09:18 PM The Shield S7 puts any movie on that list to shame. I will buy Gran Torino though, Eastwood make's one funny racist. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 08 2009 09:53 PM Gonna buy Gran Torino and The International (Naomi Watts.... enough said) tomorrow. Can't wait for next week though! LOST season 1 & 2 on blu, Seventh seal on blu, and possibly Friday the 13th. Thats gonna be one hell of an expensive week :O (Reply to this) |
on Jun 08 2009 11:02 PM Everyone I talk to says that Gran Torino was good, so I'll be sure to check that out, as well as The International. That Tara Reid movie has been on my radar for weeks! Gee, I sure hope I can find a copy! :) (Reply to this) |

on Jun 09 2009 12:25 AM I loved both Gran Torino and The International, so I'll be getting those. I also have had Nobel Son at my Blockbuster for a few months. The same thing happened with JCVD. I guess Blockbuster just likes to get some of these smaller name movies earlier than everyone else. As for Nobel Son itself, it was not as good as I hoped, but is still reasonably fun and worth a watch. Also, it's too bad to hear that Crossing Over is so bad. I was originally interested by the talented cast, but then it was delayed so much and got such terrible reviews...I might still give it a shot though. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 09 2009 02:36 AM I'll definetly be picking up Gran Torino on blu-ray this week after all that i have heard about it. I might also pick up Woodstock on blu depending on the price (Reply to this) |

on Jun 09 2009 06:41 AM I'm gonna pick up Reaper Season 2 today. I really hope somebody picks up that show... (Reply to this) |
on Jun 09 2009 09:06 AM Gran Torino wasn't as good as everybody made it out to be....I found it a bit slow and some of the acting was so bad that I wasn't sure if I was watching out takes or not....but Clint will always be Clint in my books....I just wish (even at his tender age) that he'd make one more *** kicking gun slugging movie, cos he still looks damn cool and mean and looks like he could wipe the floor with any of today's so called action stars.

on Jun 09 2009 09:55 AM Gran Torino and The International were pretty good. Nobel Son really has been out everywhere for months not just at gay blockbuster. Fired Up and Crossing Over were ok, while Spinning Into Butter was just horrible and is sure to be in my 5 worst of the year. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 09 2009 10:44 AM In reply to this comment (#2511854) Yjeizz: Hey, did you see the season finale of Reaper?! What a bad place to end it! I hope it gets picked up by someone else too since CW has no idea how to market anything that's not for preteen girls, but I doubt it since Tyler Labine is now working on another show for another dead end channel: Fox.

on Jun 09 2009 02:26 PM In reply to this comment (#2511918) whitey_mcwhite: Yea, I saw it. It was a great episode, but I do agree with you on the crappy ending. I figured if the creators knew they were getting canceled they could have at least given it some closure. But yea, I do really hope it gets picked up by another network. Comedy Central or SciFi? Anything but Fox. If they show does get picked up by another network, if Tyler Labine isn't in it I'm pretty sure Reaper will start to lose it's fanbase along with it's comedy. Damn shame.
