With the summer blockbuster season starting up that only means one thing, it is really hard to find a decent movie that has a budget under $100 million at the theater. With Iron Man leading the charge and Speed Racer attempting to dazzle everyone into unconciousness their isn’t a lot of fare to find. But one of my favorite movies of this rather dry year is finally starting to get a semi-wide release this week, that film being Son of Rambow. It’s a fun, sweet and decidedly low budget affair about two young boys who attempt to film their very own sequel to Rambo: First Blood. While not a great movie, it certainly is an enjoyable one that provides slightly heavier entertainment compared to the typical summer blockbuster.

But the real problem is with DVD releases this week. As we are hitting the middle of May it means we are now starting to see the films from earlier this year start trickling down the DVD pipeline, and considering how awful the year has been so far, it isn’t surprising that their is practically nothing worth recommending this week. Their is a solid re-release of the Indiana Jones trilogy, but it isn’t eye popping by any means. Youth Without Youth is an absolute mess of a film as isn’t worth anything more then a rental for even die hard Francis Ford Coppola fans. So with the well practically dry my recommendation this week is the little Canadian action film that could, Bon Cop Bad Cop.

As always trailers are after the break!
