Rise of the Planet of the Apes
($39.99 Blu-Ray, $29.98 DVD, 20th Century Fox)
James Franco stretches the boundaries of credibility as a genius scientist in this reboot of the simian sci-fi series. In it, his quest to save his Alzheimer’s-afflicted dad results in a super-smart ape who causes all kinds of havoc. We all know where that’s gonna lead: a world where bears will be the least hairy guys on Scruff.

I’m pretty surprised Circumstance only got a small also-out-on-DVD mention! That was one of the better queer films this year (perhaps second to Weekend?), and certainly the most bold! I encourage everyone to check that one out!
(I haven’t jumped on the blu-ray bandwagon, yet… but I’m kind of wanting the blu-ray Velvet Goldmine. Favorite film in high school, and still a rabid fan!)
