The Patrol is on, People! The DVD Patrol staff have been secretly working around the clock on planning something for your pal, the Toddster, because I am a year older this week. (How old we don’t want to know. Hey, the Toddster is a sensitive guy.) We’ve still got a job to do and have some good ones coming out this week including some news about a certain blue skinned guy that has been a hit in theaters. More on that later. Let’s see what we’ve got!
New on DVD
The Informant - Could you imagine if Secret Agent James Bond wasn’t as good at his job as everyone knows he is? In this case, Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) definitely fits in that category. Mark works for a big agriculture company and becomes aware of some serious price fixing. Deciding to do something about it, Mark reports them to the FBI and volunteers to blow the whistle on them. Thinking he’ll be a big hero, Mark’s ego starts to go out of control. To make matters even worse, the agents soon discover that Mark may not be all he says he is. What will they find and how will things turn out for Mark? Damon has a new action thriller on the way with the makers of the Bourne trilogy coming to theaters called “Green Zone.”
Cirque De Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant - The things that people will do to get a job these days. Based on the best selling books, Darren (Chris Massoglia) has a pretty good life going to school and trying to do all the things that a 16 year old does. That is until he meets the folks at Cirque De Freak. A circus with some colorful characters. One of them is Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly). Larten has some unique talents and what makes him so special is he happens to be a vampire. Darren finds out about him and wants to become one too. Larten helps him and Darren finds that he has just been put into the middle of a fight with two groups of vampires who’re about to use Darren’s hometown as a battleground. Can Darren find a way to keep the townspeople safe and keep the Vampires from destroying everything? Reilly has some really great DVDs in stores now including “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” (with Will Farrell), “Step Brothers” (also starring Farrell), and “Boogie Nights.”
