Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray director Colin Trevorrow's Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), starring Aubrey Plaza, Jake M. Johnson and Karan Soni. The release will be available for purchase on October 30th.
An unusual classified ad inspires three cynical Seattle magazine employees to go looking for the story behind it. They discover its author is a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth (Mark Duplass), a likeable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who believes he's solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again soon.
Special Features:
A Movie Making Mission Featurette - providing a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film with director Colin Trevorrow and various cast members.
The Ad Behind the Movie Featurette - a look at the original ad that inspired the movie.
Even though I live in a chithole (small town, Eastern IA), I'm very lucky to have a nice indie theater 25 miles away. For a small indie theater in a crappy town, they do an excellent job of getting almost all the indie movies eventually (the AMC gets some of the others). ANYWAY, we saw this 3 weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The Duplass bros really do good work (we enjoyed "Jeff At Home" a lot too).
Luckily this came to my theater for a week. I thought it was great. One of my favorite movies of the year. Aubrey Plaza was fantastic. Definitely a must-buy. I hate having to wait another two months :P.
Really enjoyed this one. Unfortunately, the nearest indie theater is about 180 miles away in Scottsdale, Ariz. so I don't get to catch too many of the films I want to see but I try to make time to squeeze in a film or two when I'm in that general area and fortunately this is one I was able to catch on the big screen. I'd enjoy watching this again but not sure I'm going to buy it until the price is right.
