Today's DVD Tuesday News is truly an amusing mix of strangeness - indie and "out-there" pictures are waiting to fill your screens. (500) Days of Summer was an indie hit which is really no surprise considering its quirky premise, cute cast, and great soundtrack. There's not much to say about All About Steve. When it came out in theaters, it got awful reviews, most of us didn't want to know ANYTHING about Steve, and it was out of those theaters pronto. So I approached the viewing of this Sandra Bullock vehicle with the LOWEST of expectations (i.e. background noise). As it turns out, that is how anyone considering watching this should view it because then you'll discover that you may just mine a few comedic nuggets out of it. Extract rolls out today, too, and I have just two words to say...Jason. Bateman. (Attention fellow Arrested Development fans!) Now, we get to District 9, one of the weirdest movie I've seen in ages. I can't outright enthusiastically recommend it. I can't NOT recommend it. I do not believe that I'm saying this, but it's really great in its own way. It's got aliens, it's got action, it's got humor, it's got gore-galore, and despite all the times that I had to cover my eyes to get through this, even I have to acknowledge this exceptionally creative and intelligent effort. I admit -- it's also got a peculiar charm. (Talk about quirky!) 

That's it for this week. Happy Holidays!
