• DVD Tuesday: Wolverines!!!

  Today's an especially great day to be an American, as John Milius's masterpiece of '80s jingoism, Red Dawn, finally gets the Collector's Edition DVD treatment. Who better to stave off a massive Soviet invasion than Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen and C. Thomas Howell? Not to mention a pre-nosejob Jennifer Grey. The Reds never had a chance.

  When it opened in 1984, Red Dawn held the dual distinctions of being the first PG-13 movie ever released and setting the Guinness World Record for the highest number of violent acts ever depicted in a film. Let's see the Commies top that.

  Also out today on DVD: Sandra Bullock's supernatural thriller Premonition, Sienna Miller's Edie Sedgwick biopic Factory Girl, and the mutant redneck gorefest The Hills Have Eyes 2.

  300's bloody box office supremacy will likely come to an end this weekend, with six major releases opening in theaters.

  Everyone's favorite mutant amphibians are back -- this time in animated form -- in TMNT. (Sorry -- no Corey Feldman this time around.) Speaking of mutants, those wacky inbred freaks from The Hills Have Eyes return to wreak more havoc in The Hills Have Eyes 2. Mark Wahlberg takes aim at some very bad people in the U.S. government in the political thriller Shooter. In the sci-fi/fantasy epic The Last Mimzy, creepy kids arrive from the future to teach us all about the perils of bad parenting. Adam Sandler shelves his comedy antics in the drama Reign Over Me, about a troubled man who lost his family on 9/11. Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard plays an African-American swimming coach in the underdog sports flick Pride.
