Spin-ematical: New on DVD for 4/28

Bride Wars One minute, she’s struggling with addiction and family drama in the winning Rachel Got Married .

Add to Netflix queue | Buy at Amazon Nothing But the Truth Another political drama in Rod Lurie’s stable, Truth boasts the likes of Kate Beckinsale, Alan Alda, Vera Farmiga, Matt Dillon, taking the Valerie Plame case and morphing into an amped up drama with intrique based around missile strikes on Venezuela. Eric Snider said from TIFF : “Still, for all its strengths, Nothing But the Truth falls under the umbrella of good but not great.” Rent it. Add to Netflix queue | Buy at Amazon Also out: Frost/Nixon: Complete Interviews, What Doesn’t Kill You (also on Blu-ray), While She Was Out Filed under: New Releases , DVD Reviews , New on DVD , Home Entertainment Continue reading Spin-ematical: New on DVD for 4/28 Permalink | Email this | Comments
