DVD Release of the week

Tell No One

This is a terrible week for news releases, Day the Earth Stood Still, Bedtime Stories, and Doubt (ok....but overwrought and way to oscar gimme.) So, instead I'll talk about a film that was released last week.
Tell No One is a French thriller that is based off an American novel by the same name. Which I find rather ironic considering it's usually the other way around. I personally loved the book, and felt that the movie whic it rarely does outshined the book. It really brought the tension and suspense to live, especially with Francois Cluzet in the lead as Dr. Alexandre Beck. Cluzet is relatively unknown in the states, but he's been working in French film for nearly 30 years. Coincidentally he has an almost uncanny resemblance to American actor Dustin Hoffman. So if your in the mood for a good thriller, and don't mind reading subtitles. Then I highly suggest this little jewel of suspense and intrigue.
