You knew they would be back. You stay up late thinking about it. It’s a horror we all fear. Nazis. Plotting their return, their revenge. They’ve had seven decades to perfect their plan, and in the B-grade action movie Iron Sky, we see what those book-burning bastards have put into motion.

A vintage 1990′s classic made its Blu-ray debut last week. Disney said, “so what?”
Arachnophobia is the best spider movie of all time, and it still stands the test of time. Yes, it’s a bit goofy, a bit cheesy, but even still it makes you want to check that popcorn before you stick your hand in the bowl and the shower faucet in the morning. As silly as it is – John Goodman plays a wisecracking exterminator – the movie lives up to its name.

Chico & Rita is an epic romantic drama that follows the lives of two Cuban lovers as they fall in and out of love with one another over several decades. Emotional and engaging, the movie features a strong story and compelling characters. It is also an animated film.

One of the best movies of 2012 debuts on DVD and Blu-ray this week, and that movie is Cabin in the Woods. What looks like a stereotypical horror movie about a group of young stupid things who go to – you guessed it – a cabin in the woods only to get dismembered one by one is anything but, but to say anything more than that would ruin what makes it so good in the first place.

From the director of American History X, Detachment puts a new spin on the teacher-in-an-inner-city-school subgenre. Adrian Brody plays a no-nonsense-badger-don’t-give-a-f**k substitute teacher who pushes himself through life with few emotional connections. Until he decides to help a teenage prostitute.

Some would describe Snow White and the Huntsman as a fun movie. Others would describe it as a glossy mess. Regardless, there’s no argument that director Rupert Sanders is as good at creating stunning visuals as he is at directing his way into Kristen Stewart’s pants. Unfortunately, the bonus features included on the new Blu-ray release – available in stores now – are immediately forgettable.

Eva Mendes stars in the drama-comedy Girl in Progress, now available on DVD and Blu-ray. In the movie, Mendes plays a single mom trying to juggle her job, bills and an affair with a married man… her daughter is of lower priority. Girl in Progress is a film that has a lot of positive elements, but that never hits its stride. It’s a film I wanted to like more than I did…

Winning an Oscar, especially one as prestigious as Best Foreign Language Picture, automatically sets expectations sky high. Recent winners include The Sea Inside, The Lives of Others, The Counterfeiters and The Secret in Their Eyes, all exceptional films. Unfortunately, the most recent recipient of the award, the Iranian drama A Separation, falls short of “exceptional”.

The Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest trilogies of all time, not only because of its sweeping story arcs and extraordinary production values but because it was filmed as one, long movie that happened to be split into three parts. There is also little argument that the extended versions of the three movies, with over two hours of additional footage, are superior to the theatrical releases. In fact, it’s hard to think of not watching the extended versions.

Judgment Day has yet to come (though the Republic National Convention might be the latest sign of our impending doom), but Warner Brothers is giving fans yet another opportunity to spend their hard-earned cash to watch the world perish in a fiery blaze, and buy movies they already own.

Jason Statham is back in the generically titled Safe, a generic action movie that is a weak entry even by his standards. Statham, who even when acting in subpar material exudes an incredible degree of energy and charisma, seems to realize early on that he signed onto a stinker; he’s as forgettable as the movie.

In May, Universal Pictures released a sci-fi action movie with a $260 million budget with the misguided thinking that people wanted to watch a cheesy movie based on a nearly unrelated classic Hasbro game. This said movie, which will remain nameless until the next sentence, earned $300 million worldwide, but after marketing and print costs are taken into account, it can only be described as a massive flop.

Zany in more ways than one, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is a fun animated film that kids will love and parents will appreciate, unless you hate the environment. With a heavy handed message about nature and big industry and questionable musical numbers, The Lorax isn’t perfect, but is consistently enjoyable.

Long before Snoop Dogg became Snoop Lion and various artists faked Jamaican accents, there was Bob Marley. The new documentary titled oh so creatively Marley gives what could be the most extensive and detailed account of the young musician’s rise to fame.

The scariest horror movie is the one that stars A-list talent. It is almost guaranteed that it will be self deluded into thinking it’s a horror movie worth seeing, and there’s nothing more frightening than a horror movie in denial.
