There aren't very many titles of note hitting store shelves this week, which is alright with us, because we're still tapped out from
Christmas.
The few releases that we are getting, however, are at least solid ones.
Tusk (our review
HERE) is a goofy, ridiculous movie that was born of a joke, and yet somehow became an actual film. This movie is good for two things: a dark, extremely tongue-in-cheek laugh; and
Michael Parks' intense performance, the latter being the best part of the movie without question. At the very least,
Tusk is something completely different that manages to entertain, despite itself.
The Equalizer is a fun action flick. It doesn't get much better than
Denzel Washington killing absolutely everybody in the 'effing room in the name of revenge (ala
Man on Fire), and director
Antoine Fuqua does brooding machismo better than most (
King Arthur,
Tears of the Sun, etc...) This one is definitely worthy or a rental or purchase.
A shameless cacophony of sex & violence,
Banshee is one of our favorite shows on
TV. If you've never seen this highly-enjoyable
Cinemax Original, then get a hold of
Season 1 (either on
Blu-ray, or via
Cable On-Demand), and give it a spin. We promise you'll be entertained... if you like shameless, exploitational fun, that is.
Not much to report on the
DVD front this week, although
App was a pretty decent
German Thriller.
Don't worry, we're sure that things will get better in 2015...
