For those who missed the critically lambasted Roland Emmerich caveman flick 10,000 B.C., it is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. The other big release of the day is the family-friendly Spiderwick Chronicles, also available on DVD and Blu-ray. Hitting disc today as well are the the gritty crime tale In Bruges; Charlie Bartlett (starring the future Kyle Reese and Chekov Anton Yelchin); animated indie darling Persepolis; and Ryan Reynolds' rom-com Definitely, Maybe -- the latter two of which impressed our own Heather Huntington in her reviews.
Our DVD pick of the week is Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten, Julien Temple's excellent doc exploring the legacy of The Clash's legendary frontman. Check out our full Joe Strummer review.

Horton Hears a Who continued its impressive run over the weekend, taking the top spot at the box office for the second week in a row with a $25 million tally. Tyler Perry's romantic comedy Meet the Browns led all newcomers, earning $20 million in just over 2000 theaters and easily beating third place finisher Shutter. The Japanese horror import earned a paltry $10.7 million despite the presence of box office dynamo Joshua Jackson. The Judd Apatow-produced comedy teen Drillbit Taylor landed in the fourth spot with a disappointing $10.2 million take. Rounding out the top five was the caveman adventure 10,000 B.C., which earned $8.7 million in its third week in release.

The Dr. Seuss-inspired animated family flick Horton Hears a Who! dominated the box office this weekend, easily grabbing the top spot with a $45.1 million tally. Caveman action/adventure 10,000 B.C. placed a distant second, earning $16.4 million in its second week of release. Placing third with an $8.6 take was the Bloodsport ripoff MMA flick Never Back Down, followed by College Road Trip at $7.9 million. Rounding out the top five was the surprisingly resilient Vantage Point, which earned a respectable $5.4 million in its fourth week in release.
Horton's spectacular success can only mean that future Dr. Seuss flicks are on the horizon. But which of his stories should make the leap to the big screen? Here are some of our suggestions.

Watch early fan reaction to Roland Emmerich's epic caveman fantasy 10,000 B.C.. The New York Post's Lou Lumenick calls it "a mammoth bomb." Get it? See if movie fans agree.
Next week we'll be at the first showing of Doomsday, a futuristic action thriller which looks like a mutated strain of equal parts I Am Legend, Escape from New York, and The Road Warrior.
