On DVD...

The Invention of Lying-

The Invention of Lying was written, directed and stars Ricky Gervais as Mark Bellison, a man living in a world that knows no lies. When Mark comes up short on his rent he invents a lie and attempts to control his future and get the girl of his dreams. Mark is a failing screenwriter which is rather ironic given the flimsy story that unfolds in front of us.

My Vote: Skip this high concept comedy and check out Ghost Town, a funnier, smarter film from last year.


The Cove

Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at this years Oscars, The Cove shows us the slaughtering of dolphins for high profits and Dolphin meat. Suspenseful and heartbreaking, The Cove is sure to move audiences. Some images may be too much for animal lovers to take, but the truth often stings.

My Vote: A well-made Documentary with a clear agenda.
