Stones DVD rolls into stores

PICK OF THE WEEK

“The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter” documents the legendary rock band’s 1969 American Tour. “The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter” (The Criterion Collection) — In 1969, The Rolling Stones asked documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin to film their American tour. Little did they know that the tour, which began with a triumphant, electrifying performance at Madison Square Garden in New York, would eventually end in a tragedy at the Altamont Speedway in California, as a man named Meredith Hunter is murdered by a Hell’s Angel just a few feet from Mick Jagger.

In addition to the remastered film, the DVD includes commentary by David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin, deleted footage, a featurette on the restoration of the print and the usual trailers, photo galleries and such.

DOG OF THE WEEK

“Terminator: Salvation” — Seriously, the only good thing about “Terminator: Salvation” is the viral video that made its way around the interwebs earlier this year of Christian Bale going ballistic on the lighting guy. The film’s plot is convoluted, and it doesn’t follow the mythology created by James Cameron in the first two films. Frankly, with a director like McG, did you really expect anything other than a bunch of explosions and choppy edits? “Terminator: Salvation” is so bad, it makes “Transformers 2” look like a masterpiece of cinema.
