The biggest DVD and Blu-ray release for this week is probably G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It pains me to know that this week some brave souls will give it another chance, while others will discover its sheer idiocy for the first time. If you’re looking for something slightly better but still mediocre, you might try Tony Scott’s remake of The Taking of Pelham 123. Other smaller releases for the week include Dolph Lundgren’s direct-to-DVD action flick Command Performance, the Spanish post-apocalyptic flick Before The Fall, and the G.I. Joe Resolute animated microseries. Also keep an eye out for a few noteworthy documentaries this week including Food Inc., The English Surgeon, and the John Hughes doc Don’t You Forget About Me (in Canada only). Plus: James Bond and Rocky collections on Blu-ray, and the only partially redundant Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut! Will you be picking anything up this week?

  1. The reviews I’ve seen so far for Command Performance have been surprisingly positive, so I’ll most likely be picking that up if it’s available here in Europe yet.

  2. I bought the Christmas Vacation special edition blu- ray. The replica moose mug that comes with it is an embarrassing failure on the part of the studio. It’s small enough for a GI Joe action figure to use. Look– http://twitpic.com/o55rt
