New movies to be released tomorrow on DVD

Australia (2008) **½ Yes, you can enjoy bits and pieces along the way, more than a few, even. At the end of this journey, though, you feel more exhaustion and relief than catharsis or satisfaction.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) *½ Coasting on lazy stereotypes, the script basically ends where it started, teaching young viewers that it's really not so bad to be a spoiled bitchy puppy.

I’ve Loved You So Long (2008) ***½ A revelation comes near the end that is both tremendously moving and a bit disappointing, in the way that the solutions to great mysteries frequently are. This turn does not diminish the accomplishment of Kristin Scott Thomas's deep, subtle and altogether stunning performance, but it does alter the scale of the movie, turning it into a more manageable, less existentially unsettling drama.

Lake City (2008) * One of those Deep Dark Secret movies, this dull indie combines a wholly uninteresting family mystery with a wholly unconvincing crime drama.
