GREG'S PICK OF THE WEEK
A Perfect Getaway (Blu-ray) Universal Studios Home Entertainment | 108 mins | Unrated | $39.98
On account of his short but strong resume which includes underrated sci-fi gems such as The Arrival, Pitch Black and its unjustly maligned follow-up The Chronicles of Riddick, I'm always willing to taste whatever Writer/Director David Twohy is cooking. Getaway is a delicious vacation nightmare starring Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich, Timothy Olyphant and next year's Thor: Chris Hemsworth.
Universal's BD LIVE-enabled Blu-ray features both the theatrical and unrated cuts plus an alternate ending. That second ending is a bit of a waste, but the disc looks and sounds great. Despite a heavily-telegraphed final twist and bizarre lack of bonus material, this Blu-ray still manages to be great fun with a bunch of friends.
