Put director Kathryn Bigelow together with reporter-turned-screenwrite Mark Boal and what you get are apparently über-tense movies about the War On Terror. First there was The Hurt Locker, where we got to follow a bomb disposal unit in Iraq, and now there’s Zero Dark Thirty, a gritty, suspense-laden movie about the decade-long hunt for Osama Bin Laden. And while I don’t want to give too much away about the movie’s ending, Bin Laden doesn’t make it.

Here’s a movie that’s absolutely worthless for anyone over the age of six. A Native American named Joe (Brandon Routh) works for a casino that wants to expand on tribal land. Eager to get the building permission sorted out for his boss, Joe has to convince his father, the traditionalist Tribal Chairman, that this is indeed a good idea. His father wants to give him the permission but not before Joe rediscovers his spirit by coaching the high school’s lacrosse team.

Well, this is not the entire fifth season because as you know, AMC decided to split up the fifth and final season over two years. The last eight episodes will start airing next week in the States, which makes this DVD release the perfect way to warm up for the finale of what has to be one of the best TV shows ever made.

The likeable Kevin James plays Scott Voss, a former college wrestler who at age 42 is an indifferent biology teacher at a failing high school. When cutbacks threaten to cancel the school’s music program and lay off its teacher (Henry Winkler), Voss decides he’s going to raise the necessary funds by becoming a mixed martial arts fighter.

A new title in Sony’s Combat Classics is 1989’s Glory about the all-black members of the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, led by Col. Robert Gould Shaw (a slightly miscast Matthew Broderick) and with Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington as the regiment’s unofficial leaders.. Being denied virtually every amenity and given only the most uneventful of tasks, the soldiers hang in there before finally acquitting themselves by charging a fortification manned by over 1000 Confederate soldiers.

When a couple of high school buddies reunite at a remote cabin in the woods after not having seen each other for twenty years, you know things are going to get weird. And I’m not just talking socially awkward here. Old sexual tensions and guilty confessions are of course bound to come up at some point during the evening, but things don’t get seriously weird in this Spanish end-of-the-world type thriller until there’s a creepy light in the sky shortly after midnight.
