An embarrassment of riches on DVD this week

As the title indicates, there is quite a bit of choice films being made available this week on DVD. No less than 10 films are out, and none of them are particularly bad. In fact, almost half of them could have been in contention for the coveted spot of PICK OF THE WEEK. They all fell short however, of my pick, which is:
Milk
One of the best movies of the year, and a winner of 2 Oscars, this tale of slain human rights leader Harvey Milk was one of the most timely films to come out in the wake of the election and Prop 8. If you haven't seen this, it's worth watching if nothing else than for Sean Penn's most likeable role of his career. It's a movie that will hold up, and it deserves a spot in your collection.
-Some of the other real high quality flicks out this week include the brain-tease that is Synecdoche, NY. I was never quite certain I understood it, but there's no denying its brilliance. We also have the Swedish vampire film Let The Right One In, which is one of the most original takes on the undead in a long time. There's the profane but funny comedy Role Models, and last but not least, Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married. Anne Hathaway here gave the best performance by an actress last year in my opinion, and everyone else is at the top of their game as well. Very much worth a view.
-A level down, but by no means losers, are Mike Leigh's lightweight Happy-Go-Lucky, which is saved by Sally Hawkins' fantastic performance, the protest movie Battle in Seattle, which isn't bad, but wastes its great cast. There's the melodrama The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, which was too heavy handed for my tastes, the decent Cadillac Records, and finally the ridiculous Transporter 3. They all have their ups and downs, so judge them for yourself.
-My Vintage pick this week is a Sean Penn movie that should have dominated the Oscars 2 years ago. It's Into the Wild, and it was an amazing flick that should have caught on more than it did. If you missed it, grab it and behold Emile Hirsch's eye opening performance.
