DVD Report – January 4th

The two best films this week on DVD are Danny Trejo’s big debut as a leading man in Machete, and Catfish: a weird, disconcerting documentary about an online friendship between a NYC artist and an 8 year-old girl from Michigan. Neither of them totally convinced the users of Criticker, but they’re still heads above the rest of the new films this week.

MacheteAverage Tier 5.54
Hired to assassinate a politician, vigilante and ex-Federale Machete (Danny Trejo) nearly dies when a sniper shoots him during the job. Out for revenge, he’s joined by a reluctant old buddy (Cheech Marin) who’s become a pacifist priest. Machete @ Amazon

Dinner for SchmucksAverage Tier 3.96
Tim Conrad (Paul Rudd) hosts a weekly dinner party where he invites his friends to bring along the saddest, most pathetic loser they can find. But when the ultimate schmuck (Steve Carell) arrives, his actions somehow turn everyone else into the losers. Dinner for Schmucks @ Amazon

The Last ExorcismAverage Tier 4.37
Ready to expose his miraculous deeds as mere trickery, Rev. Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) invites a documentary crew to film his final exorcism. But when the devil actually possesses a girl’s body, Marcus must regain his faith and engage in the fight of his life. The Last Exorcism @ Amazon

Case 39Average Tier 3.72
Social worker Emily Jenkins thinks she has seen it all until she meets her newest, most mysterious case, troubled 10-year old Lilith Sullivan. Emily’s worst fears are confirmed when the parents try to kill Lilith, their only daughter. Emily saves her and decides to take her in herself until the right foster family comes along. Case 39 @ Amazon

CatfishAverage Tier 6.09
Nev, a 24-year-old New York-based photographer, has no idea what he’s in for when Abby, an eight-year-old girl from rural Michigan, contacts him on MySpace, seeking permission to paint one of his photographs. When he receives her remarkable painting, Nev begins a friendship and correspondence with Abby’s family. But things really get interesting when he develops a cyber-romance with Abby’s attractive older sister, Megan, a musician and model Catfish @ Amazon
