New on DVD: Week of August 31
After two dreadful weeks of releases, things pick up a little this week. While the week may not be spectacular, one movie stands out as one you should surely see.

Though it had its share of ups and downs overall host Jimmy Fallon did a pretty decent job with Ricky Gervais stealing the show (which he always seems to do). The theme this year seemed to be a move away from sticking with the traditional picks as several categories went to first timers. The big winners of the evening were the ABC comedy Mode...
