DVD Rundown

Ray (PG-13)
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Reginia King, and Kerry Washington
Director: Taylor Hackford

Nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, Ray is the only contender to make to DVD before the big show. Foxx' portrayal of Ray Charles has been heralded on every front so this movie is worth renting this week if you can find a copy.


Mr. 3000 (PG-13)
Starring: Bernie Mac, Angela Bassett, and Chris North
Director: Charles Stone III

Mac plays a selfish retired baseball player who discovers he doesn't really have 3000 hits so he signs back up to try and get three more hits. This flick should be good for some laughs.


Vanity Fair (PG-13)

Director: Mira Nair

For the more aspiring film aficionado.


The Grudge (PG-13)
Starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr, and Bill Pullman

The Americanization of the flick listed below.


Ju-On (PG-13)
Starring: Megumi Okina, Misaki Ito, and Misa Uehara
Director: Takashi Shimizu

A genuinely creepy horror flick about a house, a curse, and a grudge. The story is so thin it has to hop around all over the place to make it seem like something is going on but the intensity of it all will keep you on edge throughout. The experience of watching this film is kind of exhausting.


Shall We Dance (PG-13)
Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Richard Gere, and Susan Sarandon
Director: Peter Chelsom

Ballroom dancing that's not Strictly Ballroom.


She Hate Me (R)
Starring: Anthony Mackie, Kerry Washington, and Ellen Barkin
Director: Spike Lee

Spike Lee's latest Joint.


Mullan II (NR)
Starring: Not Available
Director: Not Available

Why, oh why, does Disney keep doing these pointless straight to video sequels. Oh, yeah. That's right. They want to take advantage of little kids. That's it!


The Bodyguard (R)
Starring: Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston, and Gary Kemp
Director: Mick Jackson

A new special edition hits the shelves this week.
