FOXLight – DVD Releases: Week of 8-20-2012

Audio clip:

Sasha Baron Cohen goes scripted in this week’s FOXLight DVD release roundup.  After the free-form and largely ad-libbed mockumentaries Borat and Brüno, Cohen stars as a North African Admiral kidnapped and stranded in New York in The Dictator.  The laughs come from his trying to adapt to the “American Dream”, and stars Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley and many surprise cameos…

Jack Black is a beloved, small town funeral director who befriends a sour, but affluent widow (Shirley MacLaine) in Bernie.  When it’s reported the widow herself has been dead for some time, all fingers point to Bernie…

The dissolution of a marriage is depicted in endless films, but in A Separation, the failing marriage in question is in modern day Iran…

The true life adventures of a young chimp named Oscar and his family are covered, and narrated by Tim Allen, in DisneyNature’s Chimpanzee.

    Thanks for the list of what’s coming out this week; I always forget what’s released and you reminded me that The Dictator is finally on video! I’m glad I placed it on top of my Blockbuster @Home queue because I’ll get it in the mail later this week. Then after watching it a few times I can exchange it for another movie at my Blockbuster, so maybe I’ll get The Expendables so I can be caught up before viewing the sequel in the theaters. My coworkers at Dish told me about that feature and now I can get through my queue more quickly.
