Allegedly, some critics have compared the Danish comedy Klown to The Hangover. Others, as promoted on the Blu-ray cover, call it "the funniest movie of the year." Klown is not like The Hangover nor is it the funniest movie of the year, but the oddly disturbing, politically incorrect and painfully awkward film has just enough cringe-inducing moments to make it worth the journey.

From the Duplass brothers come their latest drama-comedy, a small picture called The Do-Deca-Pentathlon that was somehow filmed over just a couple of days. Starring Mark Kelly and Steve Zissis, the movie is about two brothers who attempt to bridge their broken relationship by resurrecting a 25-round competition – the same competition that divided them years earlier.

Politicians are idiots. I’m old enough to acknowledge that a majority of elected officials are not nearly smart enough to be responsible for making decisions we afford them. Unfortunately, we’re stuck with them, because the smart people go into other lines of work. In The Campaign, comedic heavyweight and incumbent Will Ferrell and up-and-coming-and-almost-here Zach Galifianakis, who can be called that because I can now spell his name without Googling him, square off as rival politicians. Both play idiots as the two actors are wont to do, but unfortunately the movie is not a sum of its parts.

British people are funny. Especially old British people. And especially old British people taken out of their comfort zone and inserted into one of the most hectic countries in the world: India. In The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Maggie Smith and Dev Patel star in the surprisingly heartwarming tale about a group of retirees who find themselves in a less-than-luxurious but oddly charming hotel.

Abraham Lincoln is often regarded as the greatest president to have served the United States of America. He helped abolish slavery. He sacrificed the lives of many Americans to reunite the north and south. He singlehandedly saved the country from a legion of vampires.

“Questions will be answered” is the tagline for the Blu-ray release of Prometheus, featuring never-before-seen extras including an alternate beginning and ending. That’s a lofty promise, considering one of the biggest complaints about Ridley Scott’s anticipated return to the sci-fi genre – and the Alien franchise – was that the movie raised many more questions than it answered.

If you like Pam from “The Office” – or at least pre-marriage Pam from the early seasons – then you’ll enjoy The Giant Mechanical Man, a sweet and offbeat romantic comedy starring Jenna Fischer that has gone largely overlooked by mainstream audiences.
