You can blame it all on Rio

DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of Aug. 29, 2011. PICKS OF THE WEEK Rio (PG) -- Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) is a rare macaw -- thought to be the last of his kind -- living the good life as a pet in Minnesota. When its discovered that there is another member of his species in Brazil, Blu is taken on a trip to meet his female counterpart (voiced by Anne Hathaway.) What follows is a formulaic animated adventure of madcap talking critters fleeing bumbling animal smugglers. The vibrant colors, wild (yet forgettable) music and sheer volume give Rio something to appreciate. While it falls short of charming, theres something to be said for Rio as a spectacle -- a sort of dazzling Carnivl for the rugrats. The Perfect Host (R) -- David Hyde Pierce (Niles from Frasier) stars in this confusKing Features Syndicate ing-yet-admirable jumble of neuroses, thrills and unsettling humor. A criminal on the run (Clayne Crawford) lies his way into the home of Pierces unsuspecting urbane gentleman, who is preparing for his big dinner party. A game of predator and prey ensues, in which few things are what they seem. Its dark comedy with notes of Hitchcock and a heaping pile of role reversals, twists and mind games. While plenty of laughs and chills are contained within, some audience members may suffer from crippling plot-twist fatigue by the end of the film. In a Better World (R) -This Danish foreign-language drama explores gripping issues in justice, civility, grief and parenthood. Anton is a doctor torn between two worlds:

Couch Theater

his family life in the suburbs of Denmark, and his work as a doctor in a war-torn corner of Africa. The characters must navigate unclear moral landscapes in the parallel worlds of schoolyard bullies and brutal warlords. The story is wellcrafted, perhaps too tidy at times, but the conflicts faced by the characters are not so tidy, and the story has enough gravitas to turn down easy answers. Coen Brothers Collection (Blood Simple/Fargo/Millers Crossing/Raising Arizona) [Blu-ray] -- Ever want to gorge yourself on brainy thrillers with chunks of absurdist humor? As a writing/directing team, the Coen brothers are the purveyors of fine films with smart dialog, complicated characters, oddball humor and respected visual prowess. This collection of four of their earliest movies includes some of the finest performances by the stars involved, including Frances McDormand.

Social Security shortens hours

Effective Aug. 15, the Social Security office will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. a reduction of 30 minutes each weekday. While agency employees will continue to work their regular hours, this shorter public window will allow them to complete face-to-face service with the visiting public without incurring the cost of overtime. Congress provided Social Security with nearly $1 billion less than the President requested for the budget this fiscal year, which makes it impossible for the agency to provide the amount of overtime needed. Most Social Security services do not require a visit to an office. For example, anyone wishing to apply for benefits, sign up for direct deposit, replace a Medicare card, obtain a proof of income letter or inform us of a change of address or telephone number may do so at www.socialsecurity.gov or by dialing our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213.
