DVDs: Tea Parties, Sex Education, and Magick Lanterns

What's out on DVD today and which will you be watching?

Sherlock, Dr. Watson and tag-along Jenny. She likes older men, y'see.

• Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
  I pray that Jason Lee is doing charitable things with the money. Did this make money or were the gods merciful and there'll be no Threequel which is a less offensive word than Squeakquel you must admit
  
• An Education
  Time to find out what all the 2009's Mulliganza! was all about if you didn't catch this coming of age breakout the first time around. If you did, enjoy the detailed supporting work the second time around. How the hell does Emma Thompson pack so much punch into her every line?
• The Baader Meinhof Complex
  
Germanic movie star roll call ahead. The German Oscar nominee hits DVD so you can find out if it deserved to lose to Japan's Departures. You can already 'watch instantly' on Netflix.

• Sherlock Holmes
  The performances are enjoyable but to tell you the truth the central mystery bored me (since you couldn't play along at all). What I found most mysterious was this: what is Rachel McAdams doing with her career? And why could you barely see her through the immense costumes?
  

and a couple of classics...

• Alice in Wonderland "Special UnAnniversary Edition"
  I haven't seen Disney's version in years and years but when I was a wee tyke I lived for the Cheshire Cat. You are not surprised. You know about my cat fixation, surely.
  
• Kenneth Anger's Complete Magick Lantern Cycle
  I haven't seen 2/3rds of this avant-garde landmark collection. Yes, I am ashamed.
  

Which of these DVDs does Nathaniel have to post about next Monday?
Boss him around with your vote! (Last week you made him watch Fantastic Mr Fox)
