This is what we like to see!! The top five new releases on DVD progressively get less popular as they get worse. That is, the films with the best scores are also the ones which most people saw, and the two top films were even nominated for Oscars. But this week, Clooney beats Mo’nique (a brawl we’d pay to see in real life, bare-knuckles) and Up in the Air is the film to watch. Buy, I mean buy. Using this link.
