Today’s DVD’s: Second Narnia, Wanted, etc
A fairly mild week for DVDs brings us some of summer’s lesser lights, for the most part.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian: The sequel underperformed at the box office this year, but I actually liked it better than the first film, finding it more confidently directed and more energetic. I wonder - did it underperform because people were that disappointed, or because it was released in the summer instead of the holiday? Full review: GRADE: B+
Step Brothers: There are a few genuinely funny scenes scattered about, but mostly this is about Will Ferrell mugging as loud and as long as he can - as usual. Full review: GRADE: C
Wanted: Put the letters “U” and “N” before the title and that very succinctly sums up what I thought of this movie filled with a profoundly annoying male “hero” and logic holes that are ridiculous even for this genre. Sure, there’s a neat action scene or two, but the film reminded me of that very old quote about a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. GRADE: C
