Last week was an excellent time to buy DVDs and this coming week sees the release of some films that may be well worth owning.  One of them was this year’s first surprise hit, Sunny.

More than 7 million people watched this movie nationally at the time of its release in theaters. This three disc set contains both the theatrical release and the Director’s Cut. I wonder if this accounts for a discrepancy in the rating listed on the promotional material for this DVD and the rating for the theatrical release. The movie was rated for ages 15+, but the promo material for this DVD set has it rated for 18+… I do not know if it is a misprint or if the Directors Cut contains material that makes it unsuitable for younger viewers..
