I review the "Into the Wild" DVD at the North Star site; I liked it a lot, but would have even more if not for the overuse of pretentious voice-over and a few too many weird directorial tics. Everything else was good though, especially Hal Holbrook's performance and the Eddie Vedder songs.
Then there's "College Road Trip," which I review at the Trend; the less said about that one, the better. Ditto for the MMA epic "Never Back Down," which I saw last night; it stole absolutely everything from "Karate Kid," even the vast amounts of unintentional hilarity.
