latest news: Reviews of New DVD Movie Releases - Entertainment

Here is a list of new DVD movie releases with accompanying reviews and a brief film synopsis.

The Back-up Plan " is a romantic comedy about a woman (Zoe) who gets tired of waiting for Mr. Right to come along and sweep her off her feet and decides to become pregnant through artificial insemination. The real fun starts however when she meets Stan and discovers she may have acted a bit hurriedly. In deciding to become pregnant artificially, she may have just derailed fate's long awaited intervention on her love life.

Rating: IMDB: 4/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 20%, Metacritic: 34/100

Consensus: Disappointing. While Jennifer Lopez remains sexy and appealing as ever, the story however fails to offer anything other than a weak laugh and a lot of embarrassment, either for J-Lo or for having watched this movie in the first place.

Advice: skip it if you're looking for new DVD movie releases to watch.

City Island "a comedy film about a dysfunctional family that has their life interrupted, and changed (for better or for worse) by a visiting ex-con brought home by the family's patriarch.

Rating: IMDB: 7/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 81%, Metacritic: 66/100

Consensus: rollicking fun comedy that is as every bit as entertaining as the family's secrets and their dysfunctionally, functional lives.

Advice: One of only a few films in this new batch of new DVD movie releases ever to get a high score from all three major review websites. Definitely one film you shouldn't miss.

The Last Song " a story about a father who tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter through the only thing they both have in common: music.

Rating: IMDB: 3/10, Rotten Tomatoes: 19%, Metacritic: 33/100

Consensus: Although Nicolas Sparks is an excellent writer of romance novels, and have had good adaptations of his other novels, this isn't one of them. While generally watchable, The Last Song still leaves a lot to be desired especially for folks looking for more than just a bit of a tear-jerker movie.

Advice: Unless you're a Miley Cyrus' or a Nicholas Sparks' fan, there's nothing in here you'd miss except the same clichs from a dozen other movies made better.

Kick-Ass " an adaptation based from the comic of the same name, Kick-ass is about a high school student who loves comic books who decides to become a superhero " except without powers. As he ventures into the world of vigilantism, he discovers why most people DO NOT TRY to become superheroes.

Rating: IMDB: unrated, Rotten Tomatoes: 76%, Metacritic: 66/100

Consensus: Witty and enjoyable, Kick-Ass will leave fans of the comics a bit satisfied considering the awful record of comic adaptations in the film industry. Those unfamiliar with the comics will be pleasantly surprised at the film's fun and entertaining factor.

Advice: If you are a fan of the comic series, you'd better not miss this one, even if just for the simple reason of not missing it. However, if you're one of those who hate senseless violence or violence just for the sheer fun of it, this movie is not for you.

These are just a few of the new DVD movie releases out in DVD and retail stores today. New titles are released every week with accompanying reviews and film synopsis along with it.
