New on DVD: Week of July 12
This might be one of the worst and most boring weeks for movie releases. Nothing really stands out as a 'must-buy'. I did have the misfortune of seeing The Bounty Hunter, and many critics would agree with me when I say this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It received only an 8% 'Fresh Rating' on Rottentomatoes.com. Chloe was a decent movie, but a bit weird at times. Here is the full release schedule broken up by standard DVD and Blu-ray: (more…)...

Despicable Me Takes Box Office Crown From Twilight: Eclipse
Both new openers exceeded expectations at the box office this weekend. Despicable Me knocked The Twilight Saga: Eclipse out of the top spot while Predators also performed well finishing in third. Despicable Me, the animated film from Universal, pulled in $60.1 million which is especially impressive given the limited number of 3D screens currently available. There are three 3D films out on the market right now. With a relatively low budget of just $69 million it is already a huge success. ...

Hulk Will Not Be Played By Edward Norton in The Avengers
With all the positive casting news this year as it relates to the Marvel properties such as Thor and Captain America, which ultimately will culminate with The Avengers in 2012, news has hit that is being viewed as a major letdown in most circles. Marvel has decided to drop Edward Norton as Bruce Banner (The Hulk) and cast someone new in the role.

Review: Dinner for Schmucks
The cast and concept behind Dinner for Schmucks would seem to make for a promising comedy. While there are some laughs to be had they are few and far between and the overall result is very flat. The most disappointing aspect is the way the film felt rigid in its scripting and developments rather than being open and going off on tangents like many of the successful comedies featuring these actors have been able to produce in recent years.

Second Teaser Trailer for The Social Network
Just a couple weeks ago we got an initial teaser trailer for The Social Network. Though it didn't show any footage from the movie the dialogue was intriguing awareness has been building ever since. The buzz on the film just continues to rise (talk of it being an awards contender) and even one of its stars, Andrew Garfield, was just cast as Spider-Man. Now a second teaser, produced for the New York Film Festival, has made its way out. An adaptation of the novel based on the main players behi...
