DVD
Be Kind Rewind
Jack Black and Mos Def re-enact movies after all the VHS tapes in their rental store are accidentally erased. See, kids, prior to DVDs, there were these things called videotapes you could rent at stores other than Blockbuster and Hollywood. Netflix Clerks if you don’t believe me. NewLine.com
Burn Notice: Season 1
The coolest USA Network series ever, about a spy (Jeffrey Donovan) mysteriously cut off from his agency and forced to take freelance gigs in Miami to get by—with a little help from his spy buds (Bruce Campbell and Gabrielle Anwar). Get it and live it until Season 2 on July 10. FoxHome.com
Californication: Season 1
Despite the premise of self-loathing writer (David Duchovny) essentially trying to kill himself with booze, drugs and one-night stands (hey, if you’ve gotta go …) in Hollywood, Californication is the funniest, and sometimes sweetest, Showtime series in years. Trust a writer here. Paramount.com
Fool’s Gold
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson star in Romancing the Stone for Dummies, er, Fool’s Gold—if you loved How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, here’s another shiny object, suckers! WarnerBros.com
Super High Me
In the docu-tradition of Super-Size Me, Best Week Ever’s Doug Benson avoids pot for 30 days, then spends another 30 days smoking as much as humanly possible—all for science! Or something. Maybe it’s an argument for medical marijuana. Dunno. What was the question? NBCUni.com
