Posted on: July 15th, 2009 DVD FIX: July 14 2009
Hey there fellow squidies, welcome to this weeks selected new releases for July 14 and July 21 2009. It is yet another lackluster selection for this edition, so without further delay, lets get to it.
New Releases for July 14, 2009
The Haunting in Connecticut (Unrated Special Edition)
The consensus for this film was mixed, some highly praising while others were completely disappointed by it. Based on actual events, follows the tradition of other real life event horrors such as Amityville Horror and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. If that’s your thing, definitely worth a gander.
Horsemen
Dennis Quaid has certainly been a busy man these days expanding hisating resume and lately he has ventured off into the realm of thriller/horror. Horsemen is no different as he plays a detective searching for a serial killer using the four horsemen predicted in the book of revelations as their rationale for these killings. I for one will be checking this one out, as a Quaid fan.
[Rec]
This little Spanish horror film is truly awesome. A news team is trapped in a sealed off apartment building where all kinds of terror waitShot almost documentary style, [REC] is further proof that for the most part, us North Americans can’t make horror films worth shit. Chose this over Quarantine, the American remake of [REC].

Pushing Daisies: The Complete Second Season
How this show survived and made it to a second season is beyond me, having watched a few episodes in the first season, being somewhat of a Chi McBride fan and a little curious. The concept of a pie maker with the abilty to bring individuals and animals back to life seemed like a stretch, was a bit of a stretch, give me Eli Stone over this any day.
Robot Chicken: Star Wars – Episode II
Fans if the show, including myself, should find this equally, if not better then the first part. Nuff said.
Watchmen (Director’s Cut)
I will only touch briefly on this one, as Ryan has already done a post in regards to the release of this underrated flick. Giant blue members aside, Watchmen is a comic readers wet dream, a film solely made for the fans of the comic, a rarity among comic book based films. I HIGHLY recommend this one for your viewing pleasure.
So until next time, happy viewing and keep your remote handy.
