New on DVD

CAROLINE: A movie we both loved last year, “Gone Baby Gone,” is out on DVD today and you must rent it if you haven’t yet seen it.

RYAN: Seriously. It’s that good. But it’s also kind of disturbing, don’t forget.

CAROLINE: This is true. But how good is that Amy Ryan as the cracked out mom? She was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

RYAN: I love her. The DVD has audio commentary from Baffleck himself, as well as deleted scenes and info about shooting and casting the film in Boston.

CAROLINE: Also out on DVD today is the Catherine Zeta-Jones vehicle, “No Reservations,” which no one saw but we liked.

RYAN: It’s a cute food movie also starring Aaron Eckhart. It’s based on a German movie called “Mostly Martha” which I’ve heard is even better.

CAROLINE: I’ve been meaning to rent that. Anyway, “No Reservations” was fun, and it’s got Abigail Breslin, who is actually talented.

RYAN: Don’t forget Aaron Eckhart as the love interest. The DVD extras aren’t very exciting. Just some Food Network host going behind the scenes with the cast.

CAROLINE: I just want to mention that a movie that went straight to DVD but shouldn’t have also comes out today, “I Could Never Be Your Woman,” starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd.

RYAN: Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this last year and really wanting to see it.

CAROLINE: I know, me too; but due to some screw-up with the studio, it never got released in theaters, which is a travesty given the great cast and the fact that it was directed by the awesome Amy Heckerling, who directed “Clueless.” I’m going to rush out and rent it immediately.

Thanks For Viewing The New on DVD
