DVD Releases for April 12, 2011

Time to take a look at a selection of films coming out to DVD this week on Tuesday April 12, 2011 and we even have a few Friday April 15, 2011 in the mix as well.

• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I lots of versions to choose from in the 2nd to last in the epic series and they all come out on Friday April 15, 2011. Although this is easily my pick of the week, I honestly might wait until both Part 1 and 2 are out.
• Harry Potter Gift Set 1 - 7A if you need to catch up on all the films before Deathly Hallows Part 2 this might be your best bet! (Out Friday April 15, 2011)
• Country Strong I really enjoyed this film following a country music star who has had a rough ride and looking to get back on track. Strong performances, great chemistry and great music to boot.
• A Summer in Genoa (DVD Review) A touching drama following a family who summers in Genova after tragedy. Stars Colin Firth.
• Owls Experimental thriller centred on Older, Wiser, Lesbians (OWLs).
• The Last Continent & Antarctic Mission Double bill of of documentaries The Last Continent / Le Dernier Continent and Antarctic Mission, documentaries following brave scientists and filmmakers on risky water adventures.
• Marwencol Overwhelmingly highly acclaimed documentary that I keep being assured is not to be missed.
• Vision: From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen I missed this intriguing biopic last year and looking forward to hopefully catching up with it soon.
• Le Cercle Rouge classic crime film gets a Blu-ray Criterion release
• Mask Maker creepy looking horror film that also goes by the title Maskerade
• Starship Troopers 1-3 I have an odd love/hate relationship with Starship Troopers... but solely the first film. Who knew there was a #2, let alone #3?? (amazon.ca only)
• Scream, Scream 2 & Scream 3 more weekend releases with the April 15, 2011 releases of the 3 Scream films on DVD just in time for the theatrical release of the fourth in the series (amazon.ca only).
