The remake of the 1981 film “Clash of the Titan” – in glorious 2-D – leads off this week’s DVD and Blu-ray release schedule:
- “Clash of the Titans” – A blander than bland Sam Worthingon (“Avatar”) headlines this expensive B-movie that arrives on Blu-ray minus the lackluster 3-D upgrade. He plays a man trying to protect humanity against some pretty surly god types led by Liam Neeson as Zeus. The Blu-ray extras include a look at Worthington as an action hero, an alternate – and less happy – ending, commentary by several key players behind the film and a closer look at the legendary characters in the story.
- “Repo Men” – Jude Law and Forest Whitaker star in this disappointing sci-fi saga about men who reclaim artificial organs when the patients can’t keep up with the payments. What might have been a smart take on modern health care instead is a soulless vehicle for mayhem and bloody FX. Blu-ray extras include a neat look at the CGI impact on the film as well as some quality deleted scenes.
- “The Art of the Steal” – This documentary recalls the controversial relocation of the Barnes collection to a Philadelphia museum. Commerce and politics combined to make the move happen, a disaster according to Don Argott’s impassioned documentary. Not reviewed by WWTW.
