Blu-ray and DVD Movies – James Bond in Skyfall
A lot of good movies are out on DVD and Blu-ray this week. The new titles include Skyfall (Daniel Craig), Robot and Frank (Frank Lengella, Susan Sarandon), The Man with the Iron Fists (Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu), The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Emma Watson), The Sessions (Helen Hunt, William H. Macy), Weeds: Season Eight (Mary-Louise Parker, Kevin Nealon), and Bully. Skyfall (James Bond) and Weeds are on the top of my list. I was a bit disappointed with season seven of Weeds, but this is the final season of Weeds and I want to see how it ends.

- Skyfall
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in SKYFALL, the 23rd installment of the longest-running film franchise in history. In SKYFALL, Bond’s loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past returns to haunt her. 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. When Bond’s latest assignment goes gravely wrong and agents around the world are exposed, MI6 is attacked forcing M to relocate the agency. These events cause her authority and position to be challenged by Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), the new Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee. With MI6 now compromised from both inside and out, M is left with one ally she can trust: Bond. 007 takes to the shadows — aided only by field agent Eve (Naomie Harris) — following a trail to the mysterious Silva (Javier Bardem), whose lethal and hidden motives have yet to reveal themselves. - Robot and Frank

What follows is an often hilarious and heartwarming story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places.

Macy), and his own unbridled sense of optimism and humor, Mark embarks on an extraordinary personal journey to discover the wondrous pleasures that make life worth living. - Weeds: Season Eight

Now everyone’s wondering who put out the hit and who got smoked. - Bully
From Sundance Award-winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, comes a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary following five kids and families over the course of a school year. Offering insight into different facets of America’s bullying crisis, the stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter, who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus.
