Today’s DVDs: Doomsday and Guantanamo Bay
Isn’t it just a wondrous coincidence that movies called Doomsday and Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay come out on the same day?
Actually, I can’t speak much about either movie, having seen neither. Doomsday looked promising, being from the director of The Descent, but by most accounts, lightning did not strike twice. I am also automatically suspicious of any movie that Harry Knowles says is “bugnuts.”
As for Harold and Kumar, I can only guess it is what it is.
However, I can talk about Shine a Light, the new Rolling Stones concert film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is not the best concert film from either group. For the Stones, that’s still Gimme Shelter, and for Scorsese, that’s still The Last Waltz. Regardless, Shine a Light still boasts many great moments that make it well worth seeing. See my full review here. GRADE: B+
