This Week's Interesting DVD Releases (November 3rd, 2009)
Food, Inc. examines where our food comes from, and with commentary from Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (In Defense of Food), the story isn't pretty as corporate greed is shown to define a nation's diet.
Another documentary caught my eye, Unmistaken Child, which follows the search for a reincarnated Lama.
Star Wars The Clone Wars: The Complete Season One and Spin City: Season Three are the highlights of the week
The feature films in stores tomorrow include big budget adventure films like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, but I'll recommend Lemon Tree, a compelling Israeli drama instead.
Music fans can choose from a diverse group of concert films, including ABBA: In Japan, Bela Fleck: Throw Down Your Heart, and Nirvana: Live at Reading.
If there are any arts and crafts fans on your holiday gift lists, they might love Craft in America: Season Two or the documentary Handmade Nation (which features one of my favorite artists, Kate Bingaman-Burt of Obsessive Consumption).
Blu-ray releases out this week include Say Anything, Forrest Gump, and the holiday classic It's a Wonderful Life.
