Moviefone’s New Release of the Week
“Lincoln”
What’s It About? Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis take on the story of The Great Emancipator in “Lincoln.” The film centers on honest Abe’s final months in office, trying to unite a divided country and abolish slavery.
See It Because: With the incomparably method Day-Lewis at the forefront, looking like the spitting image of the 16th President, he successfully altered the public’s perception of Lincoln — and went on to win an unprecedented third Academy Award for Best Actor .
New on DVD & Blu-ray
“Easy Money”
What’s It About? Three men — a status-chasing business student, a two-bit crook, and a single-dad mafia hitman — collide in this heavy, stylish Swedish crime thriller.
In or Out?: In.
“The Collection”
What’s It About? A poor man’s version of the “Saw” franchise tries to get a sequel off the ground, and fails.
In or Out?: Out.
“The Comedy”
What’s It About? “Adult Swim” comedian Tim Heidecker stars in a intentionally not-funny skewering of trust-fund Brooklyn hipsters and their insufferable ironic detachment from real life; if you’re a fan of Andy Kauffman at his most confrontational, you’ll be prepared for this one.
In or Out?: In, if you’re up for a challenge.
“Killing Them Softly”
What’s It About? Brad Pitt leads an all-star cast of grizzled dudes (like Ray Liotta and James Gandolfini) as a Mob enforcer who goes after dumb criminals that rob a Mob card game. It’s tough, it pulls no punches, and it’s charmingly thuggish.
In or Out?: In.
Watch a Scene from “Killing Them Softly”
“Parental Guidance”
What’s It About? Bette Midler and Billy Crystal star as grandparents in a sweet family comedy that means well but plays a little too corny for young hip crowds.
In or Out?: Out, unless you can relate.
Watch a Scene from “Parental Guidance”
“A Royal Affair”
What’s It About? Broaden your international pallet with this Oscar-nominated Danish film about a love triangle between a young queen, her mad husband, and the educated physician that enters the kingdom.
In or Out?: In.
“To the Arctic”
What’s It About? Meryl Streep narrates this documentary (originally presented in 3D IMAX) about a mother polar bear surviving a changing Arctic landscape with twin cubs; come for the beautiful cinematography and cute animals, stay for important lesson about preserving our environment.
In or Out?: In.
