There are a couple Oscar nominated films hitting the shelves this Tuesday including Frost/Nixon and The Wrestler. Other movies coming to DVD are Notorious, Hellraiser: Bozed Set, The Last Word, and The Poker Club. Not too many big titles this week but that gives you a chance to catch up on watching these. My plan this week, well after I catch up on everything I need to do here. Sit down make dinner and rent The Wrestler. Ever since it got all the hype at the Oscars I’ve really wanted to see Mickey Rourke in this role. He received a lot of praise for his work in the film and I’m really hoping its as good as they say it is.
The Wrester stars Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood.
Frost/Nixon stars Frank Lengella, Michael Sheen, Sam Rockwell, Kevin Back, and Matthew Macfadyen. Ron Howard directs this film about the untold story behind one of United States’ most historical moments. President Richard Nixon agrees to an interview on television with David Frost. Nixon was hoping to untarnished his ruined name but had little chance of that when Frost engaged Nixon in a charged battle of wits that changed the face of politics forever.
Notorious stars Angela Basset, John Ventimiglia, Charles Malik Whitfield, and Marc John Jefferies. The film follows Brooklyn’s Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace and Oakland’s Tupac Shakur as they fight out their rivalry in the music industry.
The Last Word is about a poet, Wes Bentley, and his life writing suicide notes for those soon-to-be departed. Bentley meets Winona Ryder after her writes the suicide not for her brother but has to keep the relationship he had with her brother a secret. Bentley is faced with the difference between right and wrong throughout the film. The film also stars Ray Romano.
