Last week was a great in comparison to the lackluster titles that have been stocked on store shelves for the past month or so. This week seems to stay consistent with the Oscar Award winning film for Best Foreign Picture, A Separation. This film has been on my definitely must watch list since last year and I’m glad to see it make the rounds on Blu-ray DVD. That and Bernie, the film starring Jack Black and Matthew McConaughey. The true story of a mortician who kills an annoying woman and tries his best to keep a façade that she’s alive.
