It has been more than four months since the last time 2005 topped 2004 in the yearly comparison, but that's just what happened this weekend.īefore we start celebrating too much, note that the margin of victory was tiny at just over $500,000.īut at this point a victory is a victory and the movie industry will take them anyway they can get them. Perhaps an unexpected choice, but it's a movie that should be seen by more. Lucky Louie - The Complete First Season is a great show but a little demented for a mainstream audience, and the same can be said for Viva Pedro - Pedro Almodovar Classics Collection - Buy from Amazon.īut in the end I went with Red Doors - Buy from Amazon as the DVD Pick of the Week. I'm still waiting for the first "Must Have" DVD of the year (the first one of those doesn't show up until mid-February), but at least there are more that nearly make the grade this week than so far this year.įlyboys - Collector's Edition is better than the reviews would indicate, as long as you are in the right frame of mind. As has happened pretty much every week this year, there are so many DVDs on this week's list that is had to be split into two. There are a large number of DVDs worth checking out, but looking at the top of the list, I think Christopher Titus - Love is Evol is the best DVD coming out this week, and the winner of the DVD Pick of the Week. This felt like a slow week to me, but looking at the list there were 15 spotlight reviews, which is a huge amount for one week.

Pilate washes his hands of the matter, and Jesus is forced to carry the cross through the streets to Golgotha where Roman soldiers crucify him. Pilate then asks the crowd to choose between Jesus and Barrabas. Pilate defers to King Herod, but Herod returns Jesus. This depiction of the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus opens with his betrayal by Judas, his condemnation by the Pharisees and his appearance before Pontius Pilate.
