Sony Pictures Classics has released The Wackness on DVD. The Indie comedy, winner of the Audience Award for a drama at Sundance, features Josh Peck as a teenage pot dealer, who not only sells weed to his therapist (Ben Kingsley) but also falls in love with his stepdaughter.
Today's other releases include Pineapple Express, which stars Seth Rogen as a stoner who is the only witness to a murder committed by a drug lord and crooked cop; the crime drama Righteous Kill, which teams Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as veteran detectives hunting a vigilante serial killer; Nicholas Cage's turn as a hitman in Bangkok Dangerous; the latest Hollywood parody, Disaster Movie; and Vin Diesel's Babylon A.D., which was even criticized by its director, Mathieu Kassovitz.

New Orleanians looking to flee the onslaught of Hurricane Gustav might want to avoid the megaplex this weekend. Debuting in theaters tomorrow is Disaster Movie, the latest wacky comedy from the geniuses who brought you such classic as Meet the Spartans and Epic Movie. Which, in itself, isn't much of big deal -- except for the fact that tomorrow happens to be the third anniversary of the day Hurricane Katrina touched down on the city. Umm...awkward.
Unfortunate oversight or cynical, insensitive marketing gimmick? Perhaps not surprisingly, the folks at the New OrleansTimes-Picayune are leaning towards the latter, and Deadline Hollywood Daily'sblustery Nikki Finke concurs. Personally, I think New Orleans' beleaguered residents might welcomethe hilarious distraction of seeing Hannah Montana crushed by an asteroid, followed quickly by an expertly timed flatulence gag. Who wouldn't?
