RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Larry Crowne and Beginners
SummaryOne might be inclined to think that the fact we're leading off this week's column with Larry Crowne is an indication of a fairly dry selection of home video choices, but one would be wrong. Granted, most of the noteworthy choices are older films getting the hi-def treatment, but they're great choices nonetheless. We didn't even have time to mention, for example, Blu-ray rereleases of Evil Dead 2 or Metropolis. What we do have this week is a directorial misfire by Tom Hanks (co-starring Julia Roberts), a heartfelt romance starring Ewan McGregor, and a strange indie road film. On top of that, Criterion is releasing new Blu-rays of a Jean Renoir masterpiece and an acclaimed trilogy, and we've got new editions of Infernal Affairs, West Side Story, and My Fair Lady. So, overall, not a terrible week at all! Back to Article

I like Hanks, so I'll still checkout Larry Crowne, just with low expectations. Beginners though should be good.
