A couple days late, but you’re patient folks. The films making up this week’s batch of new DVD releases are a special kind of crappy, so this might be a good weekend to catch up on your classics or explore some neglected gems. Only Two Lovers, a romance between Gwenyth Paltrow & crazy man Joaquin Phoenix, managed to score decent marks from Criticker users. If you’re under 12, you won’t need informed that the Jonas Brothers’ DVD is out this week. But a word of warning — in just a few years, you’ll be ashamed of yourself. Really.
