New DVDs for 06 May 2008
It’s a very girly week we have here:
- P.S. I Love You
Gerard Butler plays a dead guy telling his still-living wife, Hilary Swank, to live life well without him. Or something like that. Sounds too weepy for me. I don’t remember it at all, but it made over $140 million, worldwide. Wow.
- I’m Not There
Wow, a Bob Dylan movie? That’s so not exciting to me at all.
- Over Her Dead Body
Eva Langoria in a romantic comedy, playing a ghost hovering over her boyfriend or husband or something. It didn’t take in ten million dollars, domestically. Ouch. Yet I have this feeling that it might do well as a rental.
- Speed Racer: The Next Generation
Wasn’t a big fan as a kid. Not terribly excited for the new movie today. It’s lost on me. But for those who want to see the latest remake of the series, here you have it.
- Crossing Jordan: Season 1
I’m slightly surprised it took this long for this one to hit DVD. . .
Next week: Two telemovies of The Incredible Hulk hit store shelves, as we begin to ramp up for that movie. SNL: Season 3. And probably more.

I loved Speed Racer as a kid and am very interested in checking out the new movie this weekend. By the way, did you see Iron Man this weekend Augie?

So:
Dead Gerard Butler romantic movie = hit.
Dead Eva Longoria romantic movie = bomb.

Josh - I did see IRON MAN this weekend. This week’s Pipeline just went live. I went into it a little bit there.
Loren - Gerard Butler is a bigger movie star than Eva Longoria, I guess. Or, it’s the 300 halo effect.
