Upcoming Releases for 3/20/2012

Here are the DVD Releases for next week along with a brief review, click on the title to view a trailer:

• 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' - The first American adaptation of the Sieg Larson series is firmly adapted by king of creepy David Fincher. With a perfect cast including Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer and Rooney Mara, this is a film that hits it right on all fronts. A stunning piece of filmmaking and one of my Top Ten picks for 2011. 
• 'The Muppets' - Jason Segel and the always perky Amy Adams bring the Muppets roaring back to life in this wonderful family (and lightly veiled adult) film. The acting, story and music are all vintage Muppet! I am looking forward to more from the Muppet crew, hopeful with Jason Segal continuing his writing/producing press!
• 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' - Gary Oldman is George Smiley from the classic Cold War novel of the same name. Oldman provides a picture perfect performance in this stunningly good thriller. While the pacing is a bit slow, it is that deliberate structure that gives this film its power.
• 'The Sitter' - Jonah Hill delivers an unusual stinker of a story. Far better to rent 'Adventures in Babysitting' with Elisabeth Shue.
