This Week: Movies/DVD (Mar. 15-22)
03/15/2010 2:46 AM
MOVIES—Opening this week:
- Repo Men (2010). This science fiction action thriller is the feature directorial debut of Miguel Sapochnik, starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker in an adaptation of the story Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia (Matchstick Men) It's been brewing for years, which meant it has unfortunately come out after the much more bizarre Repo: The Genetic Opera—though the plot borrows more from Logan's Run. Still: Jude Law, right? More details below the jump.

HOME VIDEO—Out on DVD this week:
- The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009). More supernatural navel-gazing, but this time without Catherine Hardwicke's smart direction. Almost worth seeing for Taylor Lautner—not for the reason you're thinking, but because Jacob's the only likable character with interesting motivations in the movie. The friends, who leavened things beautifully last time, are cameos—or, in the case of Mike (Michael Welch), pathetic jokes, while the stunt casting of Dakota Fanning sabotages the intended horror of the final scenes. More details below the jump.
