September DVD's
September 5th - Captain America: Civil War
A playboy billionaire wearing an unlikely exoskeleton goes head-to-head with an all-American hero in Batman vs. Superm… What? That was last month? Seriously? Fuck’s sake. OK then. Ironbat Man has a fight with Captain Superamerica man. Whatever.
September 12th - Bad Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
The most remarkable thing about BN2 is that it took five people to write it, when it surely only takes one person to say “do the same as the first one but stick some girls in it.” A typical comedy sequel, which is to say bubbling shit.
September 19th - Labyrinth: 30th Anniversary Edition
I could write 1000 words on the enduring and universal appeal of Jim Henson’s dark fairy tale without pausing to draw breath. It’s uniquely brilliant, and this bells-and-whistles re-release is a perfect opportunity to watch it again, or introduce it to a child you’d like to disturb. The DVD extras feature an interview with David Bowie’s bulging genitals, tra la lah.
September 26th - Love and Friendship
If I’m honest, I haven’t had a chance to see Whit Stillman’s critically adored Love and Friendship yet, but a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100%, countless five-star reviews, and the fact that it featured in Mark Kermode’s ten-best-films-of-the-year-so-far list make it a pretty safe bet.
