What came in this week on DVD?
It’s a great week for comic book fans — not only is the world-famous Comic-Con convention this weekend, but two big comic-based movies have arrived this week as well: Watchmen, based on the beloved Alan Moore
graphic novel, and Coraline, from writer Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) and director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas). So do you need to be a fan of comics to enjoy these films? Read our reviews below to find out.
We’ve also got two Criterion Collection reissues from legendary French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard – Made in U.S.A. (also reviewed below) and 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her. Plus, Colin Hanks and John Malkovich in The Great Buck Howard, new TV on DVD like Pushing Daisies: Season 2, Prison Break: The Final Break and a whole lot more…
