The DVDs releasing Tuesday include “The Incredible Hulk” and “The Strangers”. Looks like it’s a week full of action and scares.

“The Incredible Hulk” releases Tuesday on DVD

The Incredible Hulk

Edward Norton and Liv Tyler star in this remake of the comic book classic, “The Incredible Hulk”. Unfortunately it’s only 5 years after that other remake that bombed, so no matter how good this new one is we all still have the bad taste of Eric Bana as the Hulk in our mouth. But apparently we should overlook the 2003 version and give the Ed Norton one a chance. The critics and comic book fans seemed to like it,

“In the end, The Incredible Hulk is exactly what it should be: An all-out action romp that resets the comic book icon’s big screen continuity and paves the way for future installments (both in the Hulk franchise, as well as in that of the Avengers) in the newly unified Marvel movie universe.”

The Strangers

Two Liv Tyler movies in one week! But this one is sure to make you jump off the couch at least once or twice. “The Strangers” is a film about a couple who stays at a cute bed-and-breakfast after a friend’s wedding, but it turns out to be anything but cute when they get some unexpected visitors. These three uninvited strangers make life a living hell for Tyler and Scott Speedman, but it makes for a great horror flick. The New York Times says,

“[The Strangers is] raising the stakes with a bloody preview of the ending before flashing back to the horrors that precede it. But this is no splatter movie: spare, suspenseful and brilliantly invested in silence, Bryan Bertino’s debut feature unfolds in a slow crescendo of intimidation….”

Flight of the Red Balloon

“Flight of the Red Balloon” is a French film about Paris life starring Juliette Binoche. The movie is based on a children’s book by Albert Lamorisse, but the movie takes a much more serious tone than the book that inspired it, focusing not on the boy and his balloon, but the boy, his mother, and his new nanny. The director makes a beautiful movie out of this story about a struggling family,

All the sounds and movements of the characters co-mingle, interact, climax, and then gently descend: You won’t see anything as rapturous as this in any film this year.
