Buying movies is almost a dangerous obession with me. I love it, and probably have spent more money on movies in my lifetime than any sane person. At least I’m not spending money on heroine. New Movie Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Here are this week’s releases as well as my recommendations. Being the film snob I am, I will recommend the Blu Ray versions of these flicks if available.

BUY IT

Let’s all wash the collective shit out of our mouths left by the Nightmare On Elm Street remake (16% on RT) and remember why we loved the original so much.  Never Sleep Again is the comprehensive  Nightmare On Elm Street documentary every fan should own.  Over 100 brand-new interviews with directors including Wes Craven, Renny Harlin, Ronny Yu and stars John Saxon, Alice Cooper, Monica Keena, and Freddy Kruger himself, Robert Englund. [Amazon]

RENT IT

Tetro

Francis Ford Coppola movies are always worth checking out.  This film wasn’t as praised as others, but it is worth a watch.  Especially since it wasn’t given a proper theatrical release. (68% on RT) [Amazon]

SKIP IT

Nine

My wife came home from watching this musical with her mom and sister telling me it was great spending time with them, she just wished they would have rather done something else.  Critics thought the same. (37% on RT)

Leap Year

Not even Amy Adams could garner interest with this latest Rom-Com.  It’s cliche piled on cliche wears thin fast.  Take my advice, this will save your relationship. (20% on RT)

Tooth Fairy

I’m guessing this is Dwayne Johnson willingly flushing his career down the shitter.  Not learning anything from Vin Diesel (The Pacifier) or even Schwarzenegger (Junior), The Rock sinks with this one.  (15% on RT)
