This Week on DVD: The Beaver, Troll Hunter, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold

Kind of an interesting week for DVD and Blu-ray releases in that it’s almost entirely movies that got a very limited theatrical release or no theatrical release at all. The biggest titles include The Beaver starring Mel Gibson, which didn’t do very well theatrically but got decent to middling reviews, Win Win starring Paul Giamatti, and Morgan Spurlock’s meta-marketing documentary POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. Genre fans have a lot to dig into as well including the Norwegian found footage monster movie Troll Hunter, the Jason Statham crime flick Blitz, the killer car movie Super Hybrid, and the Japanese thriller Cold Fish. TV releases include The Event: The Complete Series, and on Blu-ray we have Swingers and Bambi II, plus Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon and Lolita. What will you be buying or renting this week? Check out the full list of noteworthy releases after the jump.

    I will say if Columbus is still pursuing the Troll Hunter remake, hands down, Arnold has to be the Troll Hunter. Man, if there is a reason not to drink alcohol, or, smoke, Mel’s pic on the DVD cover is it!
