ROTTEN TOMATOES: RT on DVD: Sex and the City, High School Musical 2 and Coppola's Godfather Restoration!

RT on DVD: Sex and the City, High School Musical 2 and Coppola's Godfather Restoration!

There's something for everyone this week on DVD.

This week, get fabulous with Carrie and Co. (Sex and the City: The Movie), dance along with Zac Efron (High School Musical 2: Deluxe Dance Edition), and savor the cinematic cannoli with Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration)...but also mark your calendars with news of a Kung Fu Panda double shot, a Stephen Colbert Christmas, and more!

1. New to DVD: Sex and the City: The Movie -- 51%

By some strange coincidence, the long-awaited big screen adaptation of HBO's insanely popular series Sex and the City landed at exactly 51 percent on the Tomatometer. That seems appropriate enough, seeing as it played to the 51 percent of Americans who can spot a Manolo or a Louboutin or a Birkin a mile away. So fellas, brace yourselves for the second coming of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, as Sex and the City: The Movie hits DVD this week!

Episodes of Sex and the City came in hip, palatable, 30-minute episodes; the film version, from SATC vet Michael Patrick King, ran an agonizing two and a half hours. (But at least those two and a half hours were filled with fabulous clothes and shoes, right?) At least on DVD, you'll be able to pause between scenes of Sarah Jessica Parker preening in couture and moping in Mexico, Kim Cattrall covering herself in sushi, Cynthia Nixon acting neurotic, and Kristin Davis trying her best to not fade into the background.

Also note that those forward-thinkers at Warner Home Video have made Sex and the City: The Movie available for your immediate gratification via iTunes.

Wait a minute? Is Thandie Newton supposed to be pregnant with Simon Pegg's child? There's a fantasy film for you...

Crank stank so I guess Pathology will... um, be... Crapology? Newsflash: It's not enough to have shocking taboo-breaking acts in your films. The story has to be halfway decent too. (See 'Caligula', or rather, DON'T!)

Ah, 'High School Musical', now there's a franchise I can get behind... preferably at least 5 miles behind. HSM seems to represent everything bad about the Disney company. It's uninspired, watered-down milquetoast. And this is coming from someone who idolizes Walt.

I didn't see any mention of 'Foot Fist Way' but I'll be watching that tomorrow. Unless the video store runs out of 'Sex and the City' and all the Martini-chugging, Prada-wearing cougars mistake 'Foot Fist Way' for a fetish porn...

Oh, vitajex...I think you're being too harsh on HSM. That Zac Efron kid is a cutie. So tan...such well-kept eyebrows...so polite, yet so good at singing and dancing! Sigh...

I concur with Ms. Yamato! I really enjoyed the first two HSM films and will see the third on the big screen. Yes, hollywood cliche, but still fun. Jerry Ortega is a great director and choriogropher. And yes, Zac is dreamy! Don't worry Bruce, until he stars with Zooey.

Zac Efron is a cyborg. Disney built him because they ran out of real kids who were willing to look stupid......

This has to have been the worst summer for renting movies. My local video store called to make sure I didn't die. October is long overdue. P.S. that list of bad actors should have had Freddie Prinze Jr. as it's patriarch. He sucks so bad he inadvertenly relaunched Brian Austin Green's career.
