So I guess people are kind of excited for this new Steven Spielburg movie coming out this weekend. Who would have guessed that? But for some of us lucky few their is an alternative being shown this weekend, and no, I’m not talking about Uwe Boll’s ridiculous new film Postal. The alternative? OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, a James Bond style spy spoof that lampoons both that illustrious franchise and the movie making style of the 1950’s.

DVD releases are spares as usual this week. It’s saying something that Renny Harlin’s new direct to video film Cleaner is probably in the upper half of the releases, at least in terms of quality. Their are a few other semi-interesting Independent films getting released as well this week, with the critically acclaimed documentary Darfur Now and The Walker the most obvious. But the one that catches my eye is the documentary What Would Jesus Buy? A documentary on the controversial Reverend Billy, and his quest to convince Americans to stop shopping. What better way to honor his teachings then to buy the DVD?

As always trailers are after the break!
