Flicks on DVD – Biutiful, Drive Angry, Passion Play

by Chuck Duncan

New home video releases this week range from depressing to dumbfounding to deliriously over-the-top. Two classic westerns make their Blu-ray debuts, and two early films from Ridley Scott and George Lucas arrive in new special editions.

This week’s home video releases include a recent Oscar nominee, a movie that should have been a hit but at least deserves a large cult following, and a film that has left some critics “dumbfounded.” We’ve also got some classic westerns making their Blu-ray debuts, and a genuine cult classic from director Ridley Scott and a coming-of-age classic from George Lucas arrive in spiffy new DVD and Blu-ray editions!
