New DVDs: Planet Terror, A Mighty Heart, Lights in the Dusk

Tuesday October 16, 2007

Good news: the 191 minute flop that was Grindhouse has been broken into two. Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof split the critics and bored us to tears, but Robert Rodriguez's zombie shocker Planet Terror, new on DVD today, is great schlocky fun. It's Rose McGowan with a machine gun for a leg -- what's not to like? Also new this week: Michael Winterbottom's Daniel Pearl drama A Mighty Heart, starring Angelina Jolie, and Aki Karismaki's overlooked sleeper Lights in the Dusk.
