It didn’t make much noise in American cineplexes, but Doris Dörrie’s Cherry Blossoms is the movie of choice amongst this week’s new DVD releases. It’s a tale of discovering that it’s never too late to be surprised by the ones you think you know most. Or you can watch some kids get hacked to pieces in the Friday the 13th remake. It’s all good.
