'Time Traveler's Wife' and 'Stepfather' New on DVD
The latest in DVD entertainment.
Dysfunctional relationships are always the most interesting. And in this week's crop of new DVD releases, from a time-traveling husband to a murderous stepfather, you have your choice of some of the most dysfunctional relationships around.
In the new ScFi tearjerker The Time Traveler's Wife, Henry and Clare (Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams) are deeply in love with each other. The only problem is Henry suffers from a (very) rare disorder that forces him to travel through time, unwillingly. Can the couple find a way to make their love work?
Also out this week is the thriller The Stepfather, starring Nip/Tuck's Dylan Walsh as a nasty daddy.
The film follows twenty-something Michael (Penn Badgley) as he returns home from military school to find his mother happily married to a new man (Dylan Walsh). But as Michael soon finds out, his new stepfather may not be as sweet as his mother thinks.
Soon, along with his girlfriend (Amber Heard) and his biological father (Jon Tenney), Michael slowly learns about the atrocities his stepfather has committed in the past. Hopefully it's not too late to save his own family.
Those looking for a critically-acclaimed film should check out A Serious Man. Physics professor Larry Gopnik's world is slowly pulling him down -- his wife has left him, his daughter steals from him and someone is threatening his job. Will he find a way to pull through, or will he let his life spiral even further?
