I hope you like the supernatural, because you’re going to get a bunch of it this week. Not only that, but we got Mel Gibson hell bent on revenge, and speaking of hell, Gordon Ramsay returns to the kitchen this week to dish out some tough love. Well, “tough” might be pushing it a little, more like insane! Here’s your new DVD releases for the week of May 11, 2010.

Hot Movie Releases

Legion

What would you do if you found out your unborn child might be the savior of the world? You’d enlist the help of Paul Bettany and Dennis Quaid, of course. Packed with action, gore, and CGI, Legion is the perfect movie to put on, and check your brain at the door. The war between the angels and demons is just starting, and by the time it’s over, they’ll be nothing left but the credits.

Daybreakers

There’s a shortage of blood in the world, human blood, and the vampires aren’t happy about it.

It’s up to Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe to find a replacement before the undead that run the world go nuts and take out what is left of the population. Filled with metaphors, darkness, gore, and suspense, Daybreakers is another one of those films where you can check your senses and zone out for a couple of hours. Good, but not great, although certainly watchable.

Edge of Darkness

Mel Gibson stars as a Boston cop whose daughter has just returned home from an internship, and proceeds to get blown away. It’s up to Gibson to uncover the truth behind her death in this film which I like to think of as Erin Brockovich on steroids. It’s good to see Mel back in front of the camera after a decade-long absence, and Edge of Darkness does not disappoint in the suspense and thrill rides by any means. Not his best, but Gibson does a great job portraying a father’s anguish over the loss of a loved one, making this film seem more real than it should be.

TV on DVD

Hell’s Kitchen: Season Two

Gordon Ramsay is back in this popular reality TV show where he tries to find the next great American chef, all the while goading and insulting the contestants until they break down and cry. The seventh and eighth seasons have already been given the green light by FOX, so now’s the perfect time to start getting caught up on Hell’s Kitchen.
