This Week on DVD and Blu-ray: The Master, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, Holy Motors

Posted by on February 26th, 2013   Filed under: DVD and Blu-ray, New Releases

Just a couple of days after the Oscars, you’d think there might be a handful of nominees trying to capitalize on the extra exposure, but it’s actually a pretty slow week with the exception of P.T. Anderson’s The Master (which is definitely a buy). Oscar-nominated documentary How to Survive a Plague also hits stores this week along with Leos Carax’s divisive art house classic Holy Motors. Other less prestigious releases include The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (which hits stores on Saturday), feminist thriller Girls Against Boys and Chasing Mavericks starring Gerard Butler. The Coen Brothers’ The Hudsucker Proxy also debuts on Blu-ray through the Warner Archive Collection, while Criterion offers up new editions of Chronicle of a Summer and Sansho the Bailiff. Will you be picking up anything this week? Check out the full list of new releases after the jump.

    Holy Motors interested me from what someone talked about on the podcast, I think. But that Blu-ray is hella expensive. Divisive art house movies don’t always make the best blind buys is the problem.

    When I squint and look side on at the cover of The Master I see the face of L. Ron Hubbard. Creepy.

    I don’t believe The Master is actually out today, at least in Canada. I’m seeing March 5 as the release date on every site.

    You are correct, looks like March 5th in Canada. And Holy Motors was out here last week already.

    You Americans are getting fucked on Holy Motors. $34 on Amazon, jesus. It’s 20 bones here. And no French on the spine.

    Good thing it sucks and I don’t want it.

    Does that poster imply that Phoenix is really the master?
