New on DVD and Blu-Ray

Well, we’ve got quite a bit of stuff out this week, but how much of it is even slightly worth your time is much less encouraging. New titles are a complete loss, with Oren Moverman’s instantly-forgotten The Dinner being the sorry highlight in a bunch that includes Snatched, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid film. Catalog titles are better, albeit in the same way that .3 is a greater number than 0. Criterion has another gem for you to get now that the Barnes & Noble sale has been extended a week, and that’s Michael Curtiz’s To Have and Have Not adaptation The Breaking Point (which marks the Criterion debut of John Garfield). Aside from that, well, you’re on your own. The Warner Archive Collection gives us Stanley Kubrick’s favorite film of 1974, Freebie and the Bean, Shout Factory gives us both Teen Wolf films, and Kino gives us not one, but two mediocre Elvis movies. Universal at least has the decency, in the middle of a large collection of 90s mediocrities, to give us a Blu-Ray of Bowfinger.
