for July 31 DVDs
  • ALIENS IN THE ATTIC

    The title says it all for this family-friendly comedy
  • THE COLLECTOR

    A horror-thriller with a tip of the hat to the Saw movies
  • FUNNY PEOPLE

    A Judd Apatow film (40 Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) starring Adam Sandler as a standup comic who has a near-death experience.
  • 1. FAST AND FURIOUS:

    Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reprise their roles as bad boy Dominic Toretto who never met a car he couldn’t crash, and Brian O’Connor, hot driver and undercover cop.  The opening sequence of this film rivals the best of James Bond with an over-the-top chase scene that will stop your breath!  The story … doesn’t matter much … but all the usual suspects are back, the driving is fabulous, and the story will keep you right on the edge … and waiting for the fifth in this series that began with The Fast and the Furious in 2001. Rated 14A.

  • 2. MISS MARCH:

    Sorry, but this movie is just dopey, unless you are a hormone driven teen who will absolutely buy the premise her that has a young man awaken from a four-year coma to learn that his pure-as-the-driven-snow girlfriend is now a magazine centre-fold.  This sparks a road trip to track her down – one in which not much good ever happens.  Zack Cregger and Trevor Moore star. Rated 18A.

  • 3. DRAGONBALL: EVOLUTION:

    Not being a “gamer”, I can’t comment on just how closely this move-based-on-the-videogame works out, but my more junior-in-age consultants tell me that it just doesn’t have what it takes.  Justin Chatwin and Chow Yun Fat star in an unlikely story of fantasy and Asian arts … you have to be a fan to make this one work. Directed by James Wong of The X-Files.  Rated PG.

  • 4. FAST AND FURIOUS:

    This one had the biggest April opening of any movie in history … and the Camaro you see in the final sequences is the real thing!  Great thrill ride!
VANISHING POINT (1978):   
Want hot car action?  Barry Newman is Kowalski, the driver going cross-country in a Dodge Challenger one step ahead of the law and the bad guys.  Best driving sequences since “Bullitt.”
  • G-FORCE

    Guinea pigs as spies?  Kids will buy it, and they’ll like the 3D!
  • THE UGLY TRUTH

    Very standard romantic comedy in which Gerard Butler does what he does best -  he wows the leading lady, Katherine Heigle
  • ORPHAN

    Interesting twist to the old adopt-the-Antichrist horror genre.
