New Release DVDs - Monday June 9th

After a long weekend of gigs I have a well earned rest tonight before a trip to London tomorrow to see Mike B's birthday gig at the 12-Bar Club, so what better excuse to review a couple of DVDs up for release next week, Monday 9th June. They are all available from CD WOW! with totally free delivery!

Macguff (Ellen Page) is a 16 year old eccentric tomboy schoolgirl when she discovers that she has become pregnant by her one and only chair-bound sexual encounter with sort of boyfriend Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera).
Although her initial decision is to have an abortion a last minute change of mind, brought about partly by her school friend Su Chin who is on lone protest outside the clinic, and the smell of the clinic itself, puts her off and she decides to go to term and have the baby adopted, this of course means telling her parents...
Similar in style, although to my mind much funnier than Knocked Up, the film relies heavily on the relationship between the characters, Ellen Page in particular shines and proves that her acclaimed debut performance in Hard Candy was no flash in the pan! Has some fairly explicit discussion about sexual activity in the first third, hence the '15' certificate. See the official Juno Trailer here courtesy of YouTube.

Curb_your_enthusiasmCurb Your Enthusiasm: Complete Season 6
The sixth series of the extremely popular TV series. Originally penned as a one off show called Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, the series was born through public demand. Shot on location, as one off takes, with hand held cameras the production is unusual in as much as the actors have no script but rather an outline of the scenario from which they improvise dialogue.
The show is set in Santa Monica and loosely based on David's life after Seinfeld as a semi retired multi millionaire. Fans of the show will be relieved that this series seems right back on track after the attempts at finding his roots in season 5 for many backfired.
A nice post here from Broadcastingcable.com with a trailer to watch as well!
