DVDs: Percy Swordsman and the Crazies: The Raging Machine

I feel abso-schizo looking at the new releases from this week and last. Every variety of film seems to be accounted for. Whatever will you make me watch? Previous write ups from this reader request series (my version of DVD on Demand) include: Bad Lieutenant, Fantastic Mr Fox, An Education and The Road with Doctor Zhivago still pending (I'll get to that one soon).

But the new stuff...

• The Crazies (horror)
  A town in Iowa (where Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell live) goes violently insane.
  
• Creation (biopic)
  Paul Bettany & Jennifer Connelly play the Darwins in this science vs. God marital drama.
  
• Don McKay (indie thriller)
  Thomas Haden Church rekindles an affair with Elisabeth Shue but darkness looms.
  
• Green Zone (action)
  Matt Damon is a rogue army officer in this action thriller set in Iraq.
  
• Hot Tub Time Machine (comedy)
  John Cusack and friends travel back to the 80s through a hot tub accident. You know how these things happen.
  
• The Last Station (period drama)
  Stormy Helen Mirren, mustache twirling Paul Giamatti and virginal sexpot James McAvoy fight over the dying Russian legend Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer)
  
• Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (fantasy)
  In which a teenager discovers he's the new wannabe Harry Potter son of a Greek God. But shouldn't Uma Thurman as Medusa be the headline?
  

Medusa with iPhone | Hot like Mexico. Rejoice.

• Raging Sun, Raging Sky (queer)
  A Mexican man searches for his abducted lover in this award winning erotic drama.
  
• Return of the One Armed Swordsman (1969 wuxia)
  A famous action extravaganza about a retired swordsman recalled to action by the sons of ransomed clan chiefs.
  
• She's Out of My League (comedy)
  Jay Baruchel can't believe his luck when a gorgeous gal is interested in his geeky self. I'm confused... hasn't he ever been to the movies? Gorgeous movie gals are always into nerds.
  
• A Star is Born (1954 musical)
  James Mason is a fading star and Judy Garland a rising one in this oft told showbiz tale.
  
• The White Ribbon (parable)
  Michael Haneke's German children's tale about a village suddenly plagued with troubles.
  
• Wolf Moon (lycanthropic / straight to dvd)
  A country girl falls for a drifter. But she doesn't know what happens during a full moon.
  

Of these films I've already seen The White Ribbon (admire but don't love), The Last Station (liked at first but major fast fade) and A Star is Born (♥ I purchased it already. newly restored) but since I've written none of them up proper like, I figured I'd include all of them.

So, whaddya say? Make your case in the comments to sway other voters.
