"Solitary Man,"coming to DVD on September 7th.

 When I think September + movies, I can't help but think of the best (and most romantic) back-to-school-themed movie quote of all time..."I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address." -- from You've Got Mail. It stands to reason then that it makes me very happy to be able to present a rich assortment of DVDs for the September state of mind. The indie, the sequel, the remake, the romantic comedy, the escape film, and the documentary are all well-represented.

Solitary Man and Looking for Eric are two very solid independent films from 2009. These are films about losing and winning. Michael Douglas stars in "Solitary Man," a story about a man who loses nearly everything because of his...er...bad behavior. In "Looking for Eric," an independent film from Great Britain, Eric Bishop, a middle-aged man on the verge of suicide,  is counseled and coached by legendary British soccer player, Eric Cantona.

Iron Man 2 is the fun and fast-paced sequel to the fun and fast paced original...and stars Robert Downey, Jr. (need I say more?). Also, this month, Russell Crowe and (director) Ridley Scott team up again for Robin Hood, a medieval epic with tons of action, sword fights, battle scenes...and, of course, a love story.  

Just Wright and Letters to Juliet are really great additions to the romantic comedy genre, in general. That we'll receive both of  these on the same day (September 14th), will make for a very happy day for some of our members! Also out on DVD on the 14th, is Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time, a popcorn-worthy fun escape from the ho-hum of every day. And, arriving at the end of the month, is the anticipated documentary, Babies. "...an "'oooooh' and 'awww' fest," according to Time...and so honest, so delightful, so eloquent...and yet, so simple. 

...and because we always like to clue you in on new items that may not be on your radar, here are some new DVDs for your consideration.
