Top 3 New DVD Releases - The Best DVDs Released This Summer

Creating a list of the best new DVD releases has been narrowed down to 3. There are a number of the DVDs released to the general public worthy of note, but these newly released DVDs have been outstanding in theaters and thus, deserve special treatment.

With the advent of modern technology, film-making for movies, and TV shows have the ability to make DVDs and Blu-Ray discs come out soon after the movie release date. Sometimes it feels like these titles are only taking a few months for them to be available to the public. The truth of the matter is, it's true.

Here's the top 3 new DVD releases for this summer. They might also become the best DVDs released ever.

1) Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton has done it again including Johnny Depp to play the major role in the story of Alice in Wonderland. Here, Alice returns to Wonderland, meets some old friends, and gets twisted into a colorful film that creates a extraordinary color palette to movie audiences. After glorified itself in the theaters through IMAX, the release of the DVD is even better.

Wonderland has become a metaphor for what it means to rediscover the innocence of childhood. Alice in Wonderland on DVD will bring that feeling into people's homes where it will remain amazing forever.

2) The Wolfman

The modern twist on the classic 1941 original is a fairly decent remake. Benicio del Toro plays a utterly sinister lead role. He turns into the Wolfman when there is a full moon lurking above London.

Coincidentally Benicio plays a character named Ben who returns to his hometown to investigate the death of his brother only to find out that his father, played by Anthony Hopkins, is the Wolfman ready to train his young pup.

The release of the new Wolfman on DVD will captive a audience of hungry buyers ready to dim the lights come this Fall. As Halloween is just around the corner, this will be the best DVD out.

3) Avatar

When an Avatar received its big-screen release, audiences were presented with a wide-jawed flick that demonstrated the power of James Cameron and his ability to present film in a whole new way.

Now audiences can experience the special features, deleted scenes, and bare-bones extra features that will give viewers a new DVD experience.

Avatar is a film that explores other planets and other creatures that allow audiences to plunge into the head of director James Cameron. It explores a dialogue that littered with new archetypes and overlooks the standard movie structure. It is Pandora.

Now, viewers can own a piece of film-making history in their very own home with Avatar on DVD.

As you can see, film enthusiasts will agree that this list top 3 new DVD releases this summer might actually become the best DVDs released ever.

2010 Top Best Summer Movies

We've found this to be an interesting summer for movies. Not earth shattering by any means, but not a total dud either. Toy Story 3 and Inception were the highlights for us, and I think they were for most people. Toy Story 3 has made over 400 billion dollars worldwide with Inception closing in at near 300 billion. We won't forget Avatar either, but that's in it's own class as is its maker James Cameron.

I'm sure there'll be some movies that we leave out that you all will be yelling bloody murder about so just comment away since we always appreciate dissent, it's a good thing over apathy. There have been some quiet contenders that we mentioned in our earlier review on here that most people may have heard about or not at all. One that was pretty cool on the small side was The Kids Are All Right about two lesbian mothers (Julianne Moore and Annette Benning) who wind up discovering who the sperm donor is for their child (Mark Ruffalo playing a wonderful lowkey role). What we loved about this one was it didn't focus on a big gay marriage debate; it just was a film about a relationship with its ups and down like any other. It's well worth checking out and the cast really bring out the best in this gem of a film

We loved The Expendibles just for the kickass shoot em up style, and the fact that Sylvestor Stallone was able to bring together all our big action stars of the past and present (basically just Jason Statham) was the perfect guilty pleasure. Plus, it showed us once again that Sylvestor Stallone is alive and kicking and knows what we want in our action films. We've already weighed in on Eli Roth's The Last Exorcism and gave it another shot just to make sure we weren't just being mean to Eli Roth.

Sadly, the 3D technology is already getting raped by Hollywood with films like Clash Of the Titans and Airbender so hopefully audiences will speak up by not going to these films to make Hollywood once again realize that you just can't throw anything out there expecting the ticket buying public to rush out to them in droves. Especially in this economy no matter what the news channels keep trying to tell us that things are looking up.
