An exceptionally strong week of new films on DVD. I’m pretty sure this is the first time that we’ve ever been able to designate 3 new movies as Criticker Picks. All five films featured this week earned better-than-average reviews, and Earth, Sin Nombre and Sugar were particularly impressive.
This week, you’re all going to click on those Amazon links with your credit cards in hand. Right?
