Tuesday, April 8
There's truly something for everyone on this week's DVD Tuesday. Daniel Day-Lewis gives an Oscar-winning performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's oil epic There Will Be Blood; John C. Reilly plays a rags-to-riches rock star in the biopic parody Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story; Samuel L. Jackson plays a boxing legend turned homeless man in Resurrecting the Champ; a Scottish child befriends the Loch Ness monster in The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep; Ron Livingston plays a Vietnam vet who becomes a crusader for people with disabilities in Music Within; and Wes Bentley stalks Rachel Nichols inside a parking garage in P2.
Our pick for the week is the 2-Disc Special Edition of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, featuring an eye-opening documentary about one of the film's scene-stealing stars.

Tuesday, December 25
It's that time of year again and, if you're like me, you might be about ready to take a reprieve from all the good cheer at the cozy comfort of your local megaplex.
Luckily, there are a lot of great choices at the movies starting Christmas day, no matter what your taste. Denzel Washington directed and stars in The Great Debaters, which Heather gave an 8 out of 10. There is the family Loch Ness monster fantasy The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, which Tom scored a 7 out of 10. Finally, for those seeking a very different kind of Christmas memory, there's Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem. It wasn't pre-screened for critics, but from what we've seen it promises to deliver on the bloodlust fans missed in the first AVP film.
For those in L.A. in NYC, the following movies also open in limited release: The Bucket List, Honeydripper, The Orphanage, Persepolis and (on 12/26) There Will Be Blood.
Have a nice Holiday!
