New on DVD and Blu-Ray

After last week’s great showing, this week has gone completely anemic in terms of choices in both catalog titles and especially new titles. At least the former includes Criterion’s long-awaited release of Wim Wenders’ The Road Trilogy, comprising of Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move, and Kings of the Road, not to mention a shockingly exhaustive effort from Arrow Video with their release of Blood Bath, containing four(!!!) cuts of the movie and a feature-length look at the reasons for all these cuts existing, and the Cohen Film Collection bringing Fellini’s City of Women to U.S. Blu-Ray. As for new releases, well, there’s Pedro Costa’s Horse Money, and then it’s a game of pick your poison. Do you want the mediocre sports biopic, the disappointing John Hillcoat film, the universally-panned adaptation of a one-joke book that everyone stopped caring about years ago, or the film that seems to definitively put to rest the question of whether or not Alex Proyas is ever going to come back? Lesser Fellini doesn’t seem so bad now, does it?
