Just in at Done Dirt Cheap DVD
Posted by simon in New Releases on August 26th, 2009
It’s time to look at this week’s new releases..
This week we’re all about speed at Done Dirt Cheap as the DVD & Blu-Ray releases of Fast & Furious and Race to Witch Mountain hit our shelves!
Fast & Furious
Fast & Furious comes screaming onto our screens in a cloud of tire smoke. Strangely enough, one critic seems to think it’s a bad thing that: “The dialogue resembled bad ’80s porn with extreme overacting and cheesy one-liners.” Hey, that sounds pretty cool to us.
Let’s face it – you aren’t watching this one for strong dramatic content! If you were a fan of the others, you can pick this one up with confidence. Better yet – they have reunited the original cast (good to see Jordana Brewster get work again).
Race To Witch Mountain
In Race to Witch Mountain a Las Vegas cabbie (Dwayne Johnson aka The Artist Formerly Known as The Rock) enlists the help of a UFO expert to protect two siblings with paranormal powers from the clutches of an organisation that wants to use the kids for their nefarious plans.
Dwayne Johnson seems to have adopted family flicks as his raison d’etre recently. We’re not sure if it’s marginalising his star persona or if he is trying to emulate the (cough) success of Hulk Hogan. But either way, it’s a fun ride with a few laughs. Grab this one for the whole family.
A few other releases this week – Blankety Blanks Part 1 & Part 2 finally come to DVD (one, or rather – two, for the nostalgic amongst us!) and Graham Kennedy goes Coast to Coast!
PS. Don’t forget our Fast & Furious competition where you can win a great pack of DVDs!
