DVD Picks – July 20, 2010 – Cop Out, The Losers, The Runaways

Before I move on to my picks for this week, I have to make an observation that I have noticed that Blu-Ray/DVD Combo packs are becoming much more common, with no less than two of this week’s releases having them.  I suppose this is meant to further ease the transition as they continue to phase out standard definition DVDs (glad I bought a Blu-Ray player when I did).

Anyways, my top pick for this week is the Kevin Smith directed action/comedy Cop Out.  I will also give a mild recommendation for The Losers. On to the picks.

Cop Out
Blu-Ray/DVD Combo – $27.99 (CAN), $19.99 (US)
Standard – $22.49 (CAN), $16.99 (US)
My Thoughts: A fun film, though far from Kevin Smith’s best.
My Recommendation: Rent It

The Losers
Blu-Ray/DVD Combo – $30.49 (CAN), $19.99 (US)
Standard – $23.99 (CAN), $16.99 (US)
My Thoughts: An entertaining action/comedy
My Recommendation: Rent It

The Runaways
Blu-Ray – $19.99 (CAN), $19.99 (US)
Standard – $18.99 (CAN), $16.99 (US)

And that’s my DVD Picks for this week
