A new bit I want to introduce onto GREENHOUSE is something I like to call, "DVD Entendre." It will run on Mondays and include DVD releases for the following day or the week that I think are worth buying, renting, or just checking out. Fair enough? Here we go. Well, HBO ran an original movie about four months ago that was absolutely incredible. The film, PU-239.It starred the always satisfying Paddy Considine as a Russian nuclear plant worker who gets exposed to extremely high levels of radiation and is ousted from the plant by higher-ups in order to cover-up the accident. Knowing that he has only a short time to live, Timofey (Considine) steals some weapons-grade plutonium in hopes to sell it to a black market dealer. Trouble ensues due to misunderstandings causing problems for Timofey and the black market dealer. HBO has a great track record when it comes to distributing great films and this one brings tradition. I very much loved the film and encourage everyone to at least rent PU-239. Read on for a few more DVD releases this week.

DVD ENTENDRE: Week of 03/25
(Insert choking related pun here)
This Sundance Channel clip of writer/director Clark Gregg was released some time ago but I find myself bringing it up in conversation with friends and they know nothing about it. So what better reason to post something if not to inform everyone. CHOKE, an original novel written by the infamous Chuck Palahniuk has gotten the big screen treatment and will be hitting theaters August 28th of this year. No trailer has been released thus far but I really enjoyed this clip of Gregg giving a little insight on his film as well as a few short clips of the film itself. Not having read this Palahniuk book, the only knowledge I have of CHOKE is from synopsizes given by friends. Hit the link below for the Sundance Channel clip of CHOKE.
