For DVDs this week, we get Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, and the DVD actually contains the 3D version, and 4 glasses to watch it in that format. I have not checked out the DVD for myself, but I found the movie enjoyable. The other big movie that came out is a direct to DVD release called Tinkerbell. The little fairy from Peter Pan gets her own movie. Haven't seen it but might be decent for the family to watch, but I would recommend checking out Journey to the Center of the Earth. Any old movies to check out, I just watched the movie Clue, it is a very old movie based on the board game. I got a good laugh out of it.
As well, being Halloween, here are a few movies to watch if you want to watch something that night. There are your usual slasher films, but I am not into those. I would recommend watching Nightmare Before Christmas, you can get it on DVD, or maybe you can head to the theater and watch it in 3D. If you don't care for 3D, just pick it up, it is a good movie, plus it is a movie you can watch again when Christmas comes. There are suspensful movies like Sixth Sense and Signs. You can get a few laughs with Gremlins. I also recently watched a rather weird movie done by Disney in the early 80s, Watcher in the Woods. Another good one to get some laughs is Hocus Pocus. I am sure you can find plenty of movies to watch on Halloween that fit the bill.
Movies in the theater this weekend are too big, but next weekend look for Madagascar 2. November is packed along with December. I will go through them as they come out.

Winter Movies
We have a huge list of movies to look forward to this Holiday season. I would like to take a moment and list some of the top movies to look for this winter:
-Quantum of Solace – Daniel Craig is back again as James Bond. If you have checked out the trailers, you have to admit how exciting the movie is. I think this one will be even better than Casino Royale.
-Twilight – Not on my top list, but I know a lot of woman that are excited for the movie. All I really know about the movie is that it has vampires.
-Madagascar 2 – I have only recently seen the first movie, but I think it is hilarious. So far, the previews prove that this movie should be just as funny.
-Transporter 3 – Jason Statham returning in the role that has made him popular. I am excited, probably not a whole lot different than the last ones, but heck they were good movies.
-The Day the Earth Stood Still – It is a remake of an old science fiction movie back in 1951. I haven’t seen it, but I have heard it was pretty good, so I kind of want to check out the old one, as well as this new one.
-Bedtime Stories – After all the pretty crude movies that Adam Sandler has done, he goes family friendly. Interesting move, but the trailer makes this movie kind of cute. Adam Sandler tells a bedtime story to his young niece and nephew, and the next day whatever the kids share in the bedtime story comes true. If you watch the trailer, you will probably laugh a little bit.
-Bolt – Another one of Disney’s computer animated movies like Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons, Bolt is a dog that is the star of a television show who thinks that everything he is in is real. Looks like it may be cute, who knows.
-Tale of Despereaux – A mouse with big ears who isn’t afraid of anything. Looks like it could be a fun animated movie. Matthew Broderick and Emma Watson provide voices in it.
-Yes Man – Another Jim Carrey movie. It looks like it will be funny. Kind of reminds me of Liar Liar, but this time Jim is saying yes to everything.
-Valkyrie – Tom Cruise’s new movie. Not too much respect for Tom Cruise anymore, however this may be a pretty solid movie.
-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Very strange movie. It is about a guy that grows younger instead of older. Weird.
-The Spirit – Directed by Frank Miller, who also worked on Sin City. It looks rather interesting. I don’t know how the story will be though.
This is just a few of the movies coming out. Let me know if you know any good or wierd movies coming out. Just to let you know, that some of these movies are not on my list to see.

Indiana Jones 4 on DVD
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out on DVD yesterday, as you might have guessed. I picked up the 2 disc edition, and checked out some of the features yesterday and there are some pretty good extras. The video and audio quality should be great. Lots of great movies arriving on DVD this winter, I plan to put some of them on my Christmas list.As well, there are some pretty decent movies at the theater. Eagle Eye is something worth checking out if you haven't yet. A few movies come out this weekend, one of them is W., the story about George W. Bush as president, and it's released as he still is president, interesting. Max Payne also arrives in theaters. I am looking forward to November with the release of the new James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace". There are some other movies arriving that month that look like they are worth checking out.

New DVDs this week
Well, yesterday there were a few new DVDs that were released. Sleeping Beauty was released on a Platinum Edition DVD, as well as Blu-Ray. Here is a little note about the Blu-Ray version, you get the DVD version of the movie as well. The idea is that you can buy the Blu-Ray version now and still enjoy the movie, and then when you get a Blu-Ray player, you can enjoy all the Blu-Ray version. This DVD version is suppose to be an improvement over the last one, I can't say that for sure because I haven't checked it out yet. Other DVD releases include You Don't Mess with the Zohan! and The Happening. There are of course other little releases. As well, Beetlejuice actually arrived on Blu-Ray this week.
Next week, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray. That will be exciting, plus there are a bunch of other releases next week as well.
There are some movies arriving at the movie theater this weekend. Quartintine arrives, which seems like it is done in the same manner as The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield. This one looks really disturbing. City of Ember also arrives, which looks kind of interesting. Also, Body of Lies with Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio. There is a bit of a selection. This holiday season looks like there will be some good movies.
