A surprising almost-hit and pair of not too surprising flops hit DVD this week as Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Pink Panther 2 and Inhkeart roll onto disc. Luckily there is one film of quality being released, Waltz With Bashir.
Unfortunately, that’s about it for home theater lovers this week except for a pair of art films and couple TV series. At least we still have the three worst DVDs of the week for some unintentional comedy potential.

I think you’re better of catching up on, or re-watching any of the 2009 Oscar nominated films. I bet you even though it’s a re-release, The Dark Knight is still going to cream the rest of the films.

Inkheart is a story about a father (Brendan Fraiser) and his daughter (Eliza Bennett) who have the power to literally bring books to life by reading them aloud. I think this is a great idea. Instead of recreating an old fairytale, they’ve found an original way to go into many fairytales.
The film has an amazing cast including, Brendan Fraiser, Pual Bettany, Helen Mirren, and yougin’ Eliza Bennett. I think the trailer actually looks pretty good. What do you think? Am I too optimistic?
