DVD Picks - June 9, 2009

This week my main DVD Pick is the release of Gran Torino (also on Blu-Ray). I thought that while it it was fun seeing Clint Eastwood return to his grumpy persona, the film also had a message.

Also out this week The International (also on Blu-Ray). I thought that other than a spectacular shoot-out sequence, this entire film was just so-so (might be worth a rent though).

Rounding out the new releases is the cheerleading "comedy" Fired Up (also on Blu-Ray).

Notable Blu-Ray releases this week include Predator 2, Fatal Attraction, The Siege, and Indecent Proposal.

And that's my DVD Picks for this week.
