It’s a DVD and Blu-Ray bounty this week as one of the year’s biggest hits (Fast Five) comes home and one of the greatest films of the 1990s (Pulp Fiction) finally lands on Blu-Ray.
Fast Five: Five Five brought the entire franchise’s cast back and added Dwayne Johnson for what was undoubtedly the best of the series. The gang heads to Rio to attempt a heist with a $100 million payoff. Incredible action and the powerful repartee between Johnson and star Vin Diesel makes this Fast film electric.
Buck: A documentary that not only captures Dan Brannaman’s horse trainer’s impeccable methods, but also how those lessons transfer to life, is a joy to witness. The film had a pretty successful run in theaters over the summer, and should enjoy a wider audience on home video.
Scream 4: The fourth in the Scream franchise stars the big three from the series: David Arquette, Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox. This time out, filmmaker Wes Craven has Campbell returning home to the town where it all began, and you guessed it: Ghost Face begins to extol his wrath once again. Smart, if not often times predictable, Scream 4 is a worthy addition to the franchise.
African Cats: DisneyNature is achieving greatness once again with its Earth Day release of African Cats. Never has a documentary taken audiences inside the world of African Cats as DisneyNature achieves in this pic.
