New movies to be released tomorrow on DVD

College (2008) ½* The grime, filth, slop, vomit, and crotch-nibbling pigs double all too easily as a recipe for this movie’s failure. It hasn’t been made so much as excreted.

Fireproof (2008) * Makes for fruitful soul-fishing but lousy drama.

Holly (2007) **½ A fairly good movie about an evil subject.

Lakeview Terrace (2008) ** Grabs a fistful of hot-button story elements — race, sex, politics — and promptly mixes them into the thriller equivalent of tapioca.

The Lucky Ones (2008) ** There’s something centrally pat and predictable about the coincidence-laden story, and by the time they get to Vegas, the film has been all but done in by a surfeit of serendipity.

Pride and Glory (2008) ** A movie full of actors improvising their idea of how cops in a Scorsese flick would talk. It’s a special sort of cartoonishness, a hard-to-pin-down brand of emotionally grandstanding fakeness you sometimes see in movies trying way too hard to be "gritty."

The Rocker (2008) ** Too bad it shortchanges the music and fails to provide much evidence for Rainn Wilson’s appeal.

RocknRolla (2008) **½ Writer/Director Guy Ritchie whisks you along on a whirlwind tour, but he’s not averse to putting on the brakes long enough to admire some of his favorite attractions.

Splinter (2008) **½ It’s short, taut, nicely shot, well-acted, astutely directed, specific where it might have been generic, original enough to be engrossing and derivative enough to be amusing.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) *** Gotham gives way to Gaudi and the Met to Miro, but the sensibility is the same, the city as a precious treasure, and so is the message: Life may be hard and short, love may be flawed or doomed, but, my, aren’t we blessed with lovely distractions.
