Tuesday is DVD release day, and there’s just a few coming out this week. The DVDs releasing this week include the latest “Indiana Jones” flick and a collection of the “Matrix” trilogy.
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Harrison Ford is back with one more go ’round of his Indiana Jones character. But this time there’s family members and a double cross involved. Shia LaBeouf plays Indy’s son who shows up to help just as Indy’s lifelong partner appears to be working for the other side. Unfortunately for fans of the Indiana Jones franchise, the latest George Lucas flick doesn’t live up to the reputation of the first three. It was actually pretty good until that whole outer space storyline came up, send the whole movie and Indiana Jones into an alternate universe.
War, Inc.
John Cusack stars in “War, Inc.” alongside Hilary Duff, Marisa Tomei, and Sir Ben Kingsley, a movie which he co-wrote. Cusack plays a hit man who is hired by Tamerlane, a company occupying the country of Turaqistan which is run by a former U.S. vice president. Cusack is hired to assassinate a Middle Eastern oil minister because he plans to lay an oil pipeline through Turaqistan, which would foil Tamerlane’s plan for sole proprietorship of the country. For her part, Duff plays a trashy central Asian pop singer who is set to wed a powerful local politician. The film hopes to tackle a serious subject and add some humor along the way. It received great reviews on the film festival circuit.
