DVDs out June 8th

From Paris With Love: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (The Tudors) plays an inexperienced CIA agent, partnered with a way-over-the-top hothead played by John Travolta. Expect considerable gun-play, "buddy cop" humor, and gratuitous closeups of Travolta's goatee.

Shutter Island: A brilliant psychological thriller from director Martin Scorsese. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a Federal Marshall investigating the disappearance of an inmate from a heavily protected asylum, located on the eponymous island. Co-Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Sir Ben Kingsley, Jackie Earle Haley, and Michelle Williams. The cast is uniformly excellent, but Emily Mortimer gives a particularly strong performance. Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane. My full review can be found here.
