New Releases - May 26, 2009

Hi again, nothing too huge is coming out this week, and I can't really blame them considering the flood of massive summer movies just unleashed in theaters. Still, we've got Outlander, which I can tell you without reservation is the best direct-to-video sci-fi/fantasy/horror film featuring both vikings and aliens I've seen so far this year.

That said, the hidden gem this week might just be 'The Sky Crawlers,' a new anime film from Mamoru Oshii, director of Ghost in the Shell and Patlabor. I didn't know what to make of it at first, but after reading this review, I'm quite looking forward to seeing it. Maybe it'll strike a chord with you.

Anyway, new this week:

Babine
Colour of Freedom
Devil's Tomb
Kill Buljo
Killshot
New in Town
Outlander
The Ramen Girl
Secret of Loch Ness
The Sky Crawlers
What Doesn't Kill You
Where God Left his Shoes

And before I forget, there's a fantastic little TV movie we just got back in stock featuring Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's a really well-made portrait of a man with a severe gambling addiction, and how the casinos and police manipulate him to their own ends. If you're interested, check the new arrivals for Owning Mahowny.
