On DVD This Week: Patriotic Edition

In honor of Independence Day, this installment of the DVD post pits the week’s releases head to head to see which is the most American.

War, Inc.: What’s more patriotic than satirizing the government?

Vantage Point: The Lone Gunman vs. Military Industrial Conspiracy debate is like the fourth most popular American pass-time, right behind baseball, mercenarism, and inventing new Dorito flavors.

Drillbit Taylor: See item three above.

My Blueberry Nights: Wang Kar Wai finally makes a movie in America. Bonus points for the presence of Natalie Portman, representing the Israel lobby.

Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns: There’s only one nation on Earth where you’ll regularly find a man in drag and a fat suit holding down the moral compass for your movie.

Also on DVD this week: City of Men, Sex and Death 101, and Sunflower.
