Valentine's Day Weekend

First off, Avatar is now the champion at the box office, in the United States, and around the world. It has sunk Titanic. Congratulations to Avatar. If you still haven't seen it, you should. As well, the Oscars have been announced, you can follow this link to see the complete list of what was nominated. They have some pretty good choices. Of course there are still plenty of good movies that didn't make it in the nominations.

Now moving on to this weekend, what else is there to do on Valentine's Day besides eating chocolate, you can go see a movie, as there are a few different choices this weekend, besides all of the previous movies that have come out. We have Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which is based on a series of books of the same name, then we have Valentine's Day which has a pile of well known actors, (remember He Is Just Not That Into You) but should be decent, and then we have The Wolfman, which was suppose to come out last year, but didn't. Seems like the movie that should come out during Halloween and not Valentine's Day, well it does give us a different choice. Plus there are a lot of other good movies that are out as well, When In Rome is actually a really funny movie, pretty cheesy but it really made me laugh in many areas.

As for DVD and Blu-Ray, one movie that I recommend is Zombieland, (it's rated R, but I saw it using a device called a ClearPlay DVD player, you can go to www.clearplay.com to learn more about it, but it's a DVD player that can skip through graphic violence and sexual content, and mute bad language, so I can enjoy a movie without all that stuff) Zombieland was hilarious, and it had a decent story. There are some more movies arriving on Blu-Ray and DVD this month, but nothing I would consider excited. In March will have plenty of good releases to choose from. Where the Wild Things Are arrives March 2, along with Ponyo (also three of Miyazaki's films will be rereleased on DVD, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki's Delivery Service) and also 2012, March 9 will see the release of Old Dogs, Planet 51, and Evangelion 1.0 You Are Not Alone will be released on Blu-Ray (which I really enjoyed). On March 16 we will see Princess and the Frog on the shelves, along with Did You Hear About the Morgans?, The Fourth Kind, Astro Boy, Armored, and that week Twilight: New Moon will arrive (for all the Twilight fans). March 23, look for Blind Side and The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Toy Story will arrive on Blu-Ray. Then March 30, look for Sherlock Holmes. And I will throw in one more title to find, on April 6, Lord of the Rings trilogy will arrive on Blu-Ray (but in theatrical edition only, fans of the extended versions will have to wait a little longer), so there is much to look forward to.
