DVD Report - August 26th

Let’s see … we’ve got a number of interesting new releases on DVD this week, including a charming coming of age story from Europe (Son of Rambow), a timely documentary from Supersize Me’s Morgan Spurlock (Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?), and a unique half-animated look back at the infamous ‘68 DNC (Chicago 10)… and the pick of the bunch is a action flick about mixed-martial arts?! Redbelt, directed by David Mamet from far out of his comfort zone, is the favorite of Criticker users this week.

We all knew it wasn’t going to be the Diaz/Kutcher Vegas comedy… though even that one was more loved than Spurlock’s documentary. Man, that guy’s shine has come off quickly.
