On DVD This Week: Patriotic Edition
July 1st, 2008 | 5:01 pm est |
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.
