New on DVD/Blu-Ray : RED RIDING HOOD (2011)

Director Catherine Hardwicke has a knack for movies about troubled teenagers, but honestly, mixing her favorite topic with the fantasy genre yielded less than spectacular results (see the 2008 "Twilight"). 2011s "Red Riding Hood" was no exception. Hardwicke tore the classic fairy tale to pieces and glossed it over with thick layers of teen soap-opera and muddled supernatural lore. Apparently, Harwicke's still stuck on "Twilight" mode. Amanda Seyfried is talented enough to make her character shine through all of this mess, but even that's not enough to redeem the movie. However, on a positive note, if you really liked this movie, you'll be glad to know that the Blu-Ray edition has an impressive amount of Special Features.

Product Description : In a medieval village a beautiful young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure. When her sister is killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village, the people call on a famed werewolf hunter to help them kill the wolf. As the death toll rises with each moon, the girl begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. Panic grips the town as she discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast--one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait.
