New movies to be released tomorrow on DVD

The Bracelet of Bordeaux (2009) Unseen by me.

The Edge of Love (2009) Sometimes glossy, sometimes hard-edged, the film alternates between glitz and unpleasantness and ends as a kind of glum soap opera, too glam to be bleak and too bleak to be so glam. Grade: C-

Explicit Ills (2009) Undone by a deadly twofer: lack of trust in characterization coupled with single-minded faith in spelled-out messages. Grade: C-

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) As a piece of storytelling, the film is pretty lazy. As a horror movie, it’s lazier still, bringing out every annoying shock-cut and disorienting sound-design trick of the last decade. Grade: D+

The Horsemen (2009) Unseen by me.

12 (2009) This film is every bit as much of a moral powerhouse as its predecessors but with the added bonus of being simultaneously intellectually riveting and, at times, almost indescribably poetic. Grade: A-
