The Studio

Three major DVD releases this week for your viewing pleasure. Clive Owen and Naomi Watts thrill in the political drama The International (featuring a stellar shoot-out in New York’s Guggenheim Museum), Clint Eastwood lays down the law in his old-codger-exacts-street-justice hit Gran Torino, and a pair of football stars sneak into cheerleading camp in the teen comedy Fired Up!.
