No real big releases this week, I don't think I remember these being in the theaters. Anyway The Call and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone look like they may be decent and I do want to see A Place at the Table.

These are some of the new DVDs released this week, the ones I find interesting or of note.

The Call, R      Amazon
Jordan Turner (Halle Berry) is a LAPD 9-1-1 operator. One night, she receives a call from Leah Templeton (Evie Thompson), a teenage girl fearing for her life as a man breaks into her home. Jordan's clever instructions allow Leah to evade the intruder, but when the call is disconnected Jordan calls Leah back which gives away Leah's hiding spot to the intruder. Jordan attempts to stop him over the phone to which he says "It's already done", and hangs up. A few days later, Jordan sees a report on TV that shows that Leah had been murdered.
