05/03/11 Recommended New Releases

Not a whole lot happening this week...



Megan is Missing (Michael Goi, 2011) - I am a bit curious as to whether whoever designed the cover art could have ripped off of Paranormal Activity just a little bit more. With that said, the trailer for this pseudo-documentary thriller intrigued me enough to give it a recommendation (and I am quite smitten with the sub-genre). The film, based on true events (of course), is about two teenage girls who encounter an internet predator, their final recorded moments presented in the form of video chats, webcam footage, home videos, and news reports.

Format: DVD - Only available on DVD.


  

A Somewhat Gentle Man (Hans Petter Moland, 2010) - Stellan Skarsgård stars in this Norwegian comedy as Ulrik, who is released from prison after serving twelve years for murder. Now that he is back in society, he has to deal with his gang, his ex, other women, a snitch, and his son - who is engaged.

Format: DVD - Only available on DVD.














Finally, after a rather disappointing third episode, Mortal Kombat: Legacy is back in top form this week; looking forward to part two of this entry:
