The Oscars are coming up, but fans who may have had their fill of theatrical releases may be looking for a few films to view from the comfort of their living rooms while they await the big ceremony. And boy do they have a selection. Two Oscar contenders and arguably the most controversial film of 2014 are among the movies to hit the home video market this week.
Sony Pictures Entertainment's "The Interview" almost faced extinction, before a phone call helped release one of the most politically controversial movies to date.
After a number of threats and discussions on how "The Interview" would be released, Sony decided to unveil it on VOD and made $15 million. What does the movie's internet success mean for the future of how we get movies?
People who enjoy the fart jokes, man-children, homophobic slurs, stereotypes, cliches and objectifying women in movies will probably get a kick out of "The Interview." But those wondering what the big fuss is all about will probably leave their respective viewing experience wondering why they wasted their time in the first place.
