Best Picture Oscar winner No Country for Old Men leads his week's bumper crop of new DVD releases. Also debuting are Steve Carell's relationship dramedy Dan in Real Life, Jerry Seinfeld's animated hit Bee Movie, Freddie Highmore's inspirational August Rush and the tween-friendly mystery Nancy Drew.
Our pick for the week is the videogame adaptation Hitman (available in both standard and extra-bloody unrated editions), not because it's an especially good movie, but because it provides a phenomenal sneak peak of smokin' hot Quantum of Solace Bond girl Olga Kurylenko.

Jerry Seinfeld proved there is nothing like an angry bee, with his animated Bee Movie surprising everyone by taking first place at the box office this weekend with $26 million.
It's unusual--to say the least--that a movie will move up to first place during its second weekend, but combine family friendly and good word of mouth and there you have it. Coming in second this week was American Gangster, also in its second week in the box office, with $24.3 million.
The weekend's big opens, Fred Claus and Lions for Lambs, came in third with $19.2 million and fourth with an underwhelming $6.7 million, respectively. The highly reviewed Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men, which opened in limited release, did quite well for itself, opening in 15th place with $1.2 million--a nearly $43,000 per screen average.

Bee Movie 
"While it may not be on par with the works of Pixar, Bee Movie is still a breezy, affable, family-friendly romp." [Full Review]
American Gangster 
"Consistently engaging from start to finish...you never feel the two hour and 37 minutes run time." [Full Review]
Martian Child 
"The script waxes cheesy and predictable, making the final result just more middling, forgettable fare for the movie memory scrap heap." [Full Review]
Joe Strummer - The Future is Unwritten 
"A fitting, loving tribute to punk rock's most accomplished son."
