Can we talk about this week’s home entertainment releases? Joan Rivers delivers some outrageous stand-up comedy in Joan Rivers: Don’t Start With Me, and Woody Allen returns to Europe with Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page and Jesse Eisenberg in To Rome With Love (above).
Meanwhile Liam Neeson gives kidnappers what for in the Istanbul-set Taken 2, and James Franco delves into the world of porn as a cokehead lawyer in About Cherry. And if you’ve got a case of Oscar fever, Volker Schlondorff’s Academy Award-winning The Tin Drum gets a Blu-ray release from Criterion Collection.
