New on DVD: Week of April 12
This is a very slow week for movie releases. There aren't many 'must buys' out there. I did get the chance to see The Slammin' Salmon and I was surprised with how much I enjoyed it.

Date Night Pulls Off Slim Box Office Victory
It was expected to be a close race at the box office this weekend and that is exactly what we got. The Steve Carell-Tina Fey comedy Date Night squeaked out a first place finish with a little over $27 million. Wide spread appeal to both males and females provided strength and both Carell and Fey have delivered solid openings in the past. Last weekend's winner Clash of the Titans fell an expected 56% to just under $27 million. It has now collected $110 million but long term prospects are not ...
