This week’s DVD releases include two Oscar-nominated films.
Review by John Delia Picturesque, intriguing and romantic the odd love story of the strange King of Denmark comes to theaters this weekend. Called A
Act of Valor (R) A team of Navy SEALs embarks on a mission to rescue a CIA agent. Chico and Rita (not rated) Oscar-nominated animated film about a piano player and singer with big dreams.
Headlining the film Glenn Close gives a magnificent performance as the title character in Albert Nobbs. The very emotional and tragic drama provides a platform for her amazing talent. Including a noted cast, fine direction by Rodrigo Garcia and remarkable cinematography that sets the bleak Irish period, the movie wins big.
Stunned can be the only word to describe my reaction to Incendies an incredible story that shocks with disbelief. Extremely well acted and directed the foreign language film was nominated for an Oscar and in my opinion should have taken home the gold. If you are up for a drama that’s passionate, interesting and revealing then this movie should be at the top of your list.
