The best film this week on DVD is the Irish comedy, The Guard, which stars Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle. This is the most successful independent Irish film of all time, and won Criticker users over with its profane, violent and uproarious humor. SlashFilm called it a combination of Hot Fuzz and In Bruges, and better than both. For those of you who’d rather watch Sarah Jessica Parker preen, there’s always I Don’t Know How She Does It. Any takers? Nah, I didn’t think so.

An action-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak.
