Twilight DVD (2 disc special edition) : released on Mar.21, 09












The big screen adaptation of Twilight, Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance, is focused on the main demographic: teenage girls whose idea of Prince Charming is a turbulent, pale, Undead teenager who could murder you directly at any time. Such a prince is more fascinating than frightening new girl Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who moves to the rainy season gray town Forks, Wash. To live with her father (Billy Burke), the local sheriff who is surprised by a series of animal attacks. " On her first day at school, Bella seems to be (visible) disgusted her lab partner, Edward (Robert Pattinson). Does the smell of her blood, the vampire's "brand of heroin", and his struggle not to kill her caused an irresistible pull to her. Whether he is recruited for the normal reasons or because they smell especially sweet for him is vague in the book and even less clear on the screen; nevertheless Bella falls hopelessly in love with Edward, who was on a dangerous road, where a few nomad vampires appear in the city, a particularly excited about the keeping of man. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen), Twilight is full of funny moments - not all of which are deliberately - and the casting of Stewart to Bella's self-absorbed friend Jessica (Anna Kendrick) is spot-on. The weakest link, unfortunately Pattinson. While it certainly seems part Edward could have used an extra injection of testosterone (Pattinson, which Britten, James Dean used as a model for his American accent). In scenes where he growls on the temptation to kill those who would harm Bella, or flitting around a bunch of warning her how dangerous he is, he is more like a whimpering puppy than a monster Debonair. The good news is, his chemistry with Stewart (especially their big kissing scene) is felt, which, let's be honest, is what matters most Twilight fans.

Slumdog Millionaire DVD : released on Mar.31, 09









Danny Boyle (Sunshine) directed this wild energetic, Dickensian drama about the superficial life and times of an Indian boy whose bleak, formative experiences lead to an appearance on his country version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Jamal (played as a young man by Dev Patel) and his brother as his orphan children, raising himself in various slums and crime ridden neighorhoods and fall in for a while, with a monstrous gang exploitation of children as beggars and prostitutes. Driven by his love for Latika (Freida Pinto), Jamal, while a teenager, later goes on a journey to save her from the clutches of the gang, but loses her to another oppressive fate as the lover of a notorious gangster.
Supplementary to this dark yet irresistible adventure, told in flashback vignettes, it is almost inexplicable sight of Jamal winning any challenge to "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" A strong showing leading to a vicious police interrogation. If Jamal explains how he knows the answer to each question on the show as a result of aggressive events in his life, knock about, the chaos of existence profit form, perspective and soulful ness. The film violence is offset by an enchanting exotica shot and edited with a great whoosh of vitality. Boyle successfully sells the story of the most unlikely elements with nods to literary and cinematic conventions that audiences get the heart over her head.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas DVD : released on Mar.10, 09




The innocence of childhood brutal clashes with the Holocaust in The Boy in the Striped Pajama 's. Bruno (Asa Butterfield) know that his father is a soldier and that they must move to a new house in the country ... a house with what he thinks is a farm. But his father is not just a soldier, he is a high-ranking officer in Hitler's elite SS troops, which has just been placed in command of Auschwitz. As Bruno explores the woods around the house, he discovers the concentration of the fence. On the other side is a boy his own age, with whom Bruno strikes a friendship - a friendship that will have tragic consequences. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is very strong in the details: The casual brutality of a Nazi lieutenant, the uneasy juxtaposition of the domestic family life with glimpses of the treatment of imprisoned Jews, a terrible propaganda film suggests that life in Auschwitz was like a holiday. But more than anything else, Butterfield's performance makes this film compelling. The young actor perfectly conveys Bruno's limited perspective even as the film carefully reveals the larger, darker reality. The film ends it will undoubtedly spark arguments, but only because of the emotional complexity of what happens - The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is made with great skill and compassion. Also featuring David Thewlis (Naked) and Vera Farmiga (The Departed) as Bruno's parents
