You know it’s slim pickings on DVD this week when the biggest new release is Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked) the British ’60s rock n roll comedy that bombed in North American theatres last year. However, this does give a few films that are essentially direct-to-DVD releases a chance to stand out including Defendor starring Woody Harrelson, Broken Lizard’s lastest comedy The Slammin’ Salmon, and Uwe Boll’s surprisingly well-reviewed prison drama Stoic. Also in stores this week: A Nightmare on Elm Street and Apollo 13 on Blu-ray. Do you see anything worth buying or renting?



  • Paul Andrews

    I really liked Defendor.

  • kyriacos

    this is actually not as bad as greg said (2 out of 4) its more like 3 out of 4..

  • My Nightmare on Elm Street blu-ray should be waiting for me when I get home.
    It sounds like it has some awesome special features.

    Stoked!

  • Brendan

    Holy shit! I didn’t know Defendor was in and out of theaters already, much less on DVD!

  • blah

    defendor was like if observe and report and mystery men had a baby and then they dropped it on its head and dressed it up like woody harrelson .. crap

    I quite enjoyed Defendor. Far from perfect, but it was fun.

  • Defendor was good. It was far better than I thought. What made the film were its real moments.
