Don't Go in the Woods
Don’t go near the directorial debut of Vincent D’Onofrio.
Horror
Rod Lott
New to DVD, 2010’s Don't Go in the Woods is not to be confused with 1981’s Don't Go in the Woods. That one was a cheap slasher movie; this one is a cheap slasher movie in which characters wonder what John Fogerty and the Donner party have in common, and then sing songs.

Autumn means a hot new theatrical lineup! Here’s an at-glance guide for the 2012-13 season.
Little Shop of Horrors: The Director's Cut
Now with 100 percent more major metropolitan area destruction!
Comedy
Rod Lott
How long has it been since you've seen 1986's Little Shop of Horrors, the Oscar-nominated musical comedy produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Martin Scorsese? No, I haven't erred; according to producer David Geffen in a half-hour special on this definitive Blu-ray edition, those Hollywood heavyweights were part of his original plan.
Rock of Ages
Fire away.
Comedy
Rod Lott
In the opening scene of Rock of Ages, the lead character of Sherrie (Julianna Hough, Footloose) leaves Oklahoma for California, and quite frankly, we're better off without her. Good riddance, girl.
The Phynx
Phar-out, phunny, phreaky stuff.
Comedy
Rod Lott
If movies could be drug-tested, The Phynx would be in big trouble. The 1970 comedy is not just an obscurity, but an oddity, like a hallucinogenic brew mixed by Peter Max and Hanna-Barbera. Newly rescued from Nowheresville by Warner Archive, the film is a spy spoof on the goofball level of Get Smart — in spirit, that is, not creatively.
‘Poppins’ pops
Not even a too-grumpy lead can keep musical from tasting as sweet as a spoonful of sugar.
