If it wasn’t for one week in the summer of 2009, for me ‘The Company Men’ would enter my mental pile of quickly forgotten films.

‘Hanna’ is a departure for director Joe Wright, whose previous work consists of dramas, such as ‘The Soloist,’ and literary adaptations, such as ‘Atonement’ and ‘Pride & Prejudice.’ This is a strong venture into the realm of the action driven thriller.

The red band trailer for David Fincher’s ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ leaked onto the internet this week and it got me thinking about how Hollywood is going to treat this material, which has already been translated into a series of movies in Sweden.

The summer movie season has gotten off to a rip-roaring start, and this week’s new release comes with some great advance buzz that is sure to continue Hollywood’s winning streak.

New home video releases this week range from depressing to dumbfounding to deliriously over-the-top. Two classic westerns make their Blu-ray debuts, and two early films from Ridley Scott and George Lucas arrive in new special editions.

Memorial Day Weekend brings two new sequels to compete with the summer’s early blockbusters.

A slow week for big movies on home video includes two Disney releases, an indie film starring Mindy Cohn, classic war and racing films coming to Blu-ray for the first time, and two exciting releases from The Criterion Collection.
