New Video Releases for the Week of May 18, 2010
It’s a fantastic week to have Netflix Instant Watch; easily the best since I began writing this weekly post. Amongst a bunch of other solid titles, the excellent District 9, the surprisingly great Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and the wonderful Amelie are added on Saturday the 21st. There are a few nice titles being released on DVD/Blu-ray as well, take a look:
