A look at what's new on DVD today:
"Triage" (2009)
Directed by Danis Tanovic
Released by National Entertainment Media
Although a largely tepid reception at last year's Toronto Film Festival and a downer of a subject matter prevented "No Man's Land" director Danis Tanovic's English-language debut from getting American theatrical distribution, Colin Farrell delivers an award-worthy performance as a photojournalist recovering from the ravages of war and the loss of his friend and colleague in this direct-to-dvd drama. Even with Paz Vega to come home to, Farrell's photographer tries to make sense of the horrors he witnessed as his wife (Vega) and the wife of his dead friend (Kelly Reilly) try to get him to open up.
"Children of Invention" (2009)
Directed by Tze Chun
Released by Indieblitz Releasing
An alum of Sundance 2009, Chun's feature debut centers around a Chinese immgrant single mother's determination to give her children a better life...

The Good Heart - Poster Giveaway
Those who saw There Will Be Blood ought to err on the side of hyperbole when describing Paul Dano’s performance in that film.
Movies like Little Miss Sunshine and Gigantic have shown Dano to be an actor who isn’t just earning roles based on how he looks on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, espousing him as the next new “It” actor, he’s getting work because he’s just good at what he does.
That looks like it’s continuing with the movie The Good Heart, a film by Dagur Kári. Kári directed 2003’s wonderful Nói, a movie about a boy looking to escape his life in one of the more honest and truthful...

- Here's a first look at poster artwork for The Good Heart - a drama is from Iceland's own: Dagur Kári. Known for his debut film Nói Albínói, (whose lead character I described "as a poster child for an aimless generation of Icelandic youths.") the helmer had the chance to work with some U.S talent for his latest film which at one time had Ryan Gosling and Tom Waits paired for roles which eventually went to Paul Dano - he plays a young homeless man named Lucas who is taken under the wing of Jacques, played by Brian Cox. Cox's character has had one too many heart attacks. Knowing his days are numbered, Jacques decides to train Lucas to take over his bar. Isild Le Besco completes the trio. ...

NEW YORK -- Continuing ar recent buying streak, Palm Pictures -- the indie film banner run by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell -- has sealed a deal to acquire all domestic rights to seminal French mystery helmer Claude Chabrol's Flower of Evil. Evil stars Nathalie Baye and Benoit Magimel in the story of the Charpin-Vasseurs, one of the most well-respected upper-middle-class families in Bordeaux. The family's picture-perfect image is shattered when murder occurs, and Chabrol's film retraces the family members' actions in the two weeks leading up to the crime. The film -- which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival this year -- was produced by Marin Karmitz and co-penned by Chabrol, Caroline Eliacheff and Louise L. Lambrichs. Palm is planning a fall rollout. The deal was negotiated for Palm by David Koh, head of acquisitions and production, and theatrical distribution head Ryan Werner. Florence Stern, head of sales for French indie banner MK2, repped the film. Palm has recently made a spate of acquisitions, including Dagur Kari's critically acclaimed debut Noi Albinoi, John Walter's Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize winner How to Draw a Bunny and Olivier Assayas' thriller Demonlover, starring Connie Nielsen, Chloe Sevigny and Gina Gershon.
