This Week on DVD: Aug. 12, 2008

Posted by on August 12th, 2008   Filed under: DVD and Blu-ray, New Releases

Not a ton of new stuff out on DVD this week, but there are a few picks like Stephen Chow’s latest film CJ7, Noam Murro’s Smart People, and a shiny Criterion version of Guy Madden’s Brand Upon The Brain!. There is also a number of decent TV sets out this week including the fifth and final season of the HBO show that everyone loves that I still haven’t gotten into, The Wire. Comedy Central is finally releasing the entire first season of Kenny vs Spenny in the U.S., while on Blu-ray we’ve got a little bit of Van Damme and Seagal (not their finest works, unfortunately). Are you picking up anything this week?

    I thought Kenny vs. Spenny was hilarious when I first saw it. But then I realized that they were Canadian, from the monopoly money they were using, and I didn’t like it that much anymore. Just Kidding. You Canadians are all right. It’s a really good show. I wish more people had checked it out. I also wish it wasn’t playing on Comedy Central that late here in the US.

    nows a good time to start on the Wire, thats the last season on dvd… brilliant show.

    The Wire is good. If you end up getting into it and want to record a podcast I’d be game. I’ve been wanting to record a podcast about that show for awhile.
