New on DVD 2/19/08

A pair of war movies make their DVD debuts today, without any further….

In The Valley of Elah (2007)

A career officer (Jones) and his wife (Sarandon) work with a police
detective (Theron) to uncover the truth behind their son’s
disappearance following his return from a tour of duty in Iraq.

Redacted (2007)

Meh. Redacted.  Read my review of Redacted if you care to.  If you like good movies, then don’t even bother.  Instead watch Casualties of War, a much better telling of this same story by the same director.  What else is there to say but, Blech.
