Get Ready, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol is getting suited up for summer movie season and this is our favorite time of year. The guy in charge, the Toddster, has been pretty busy seeing movies in the theater and we have some special columns coming up in the next few weeks. More on that later. If you can’t get out, we’ve found some good DVDs in our travels. Time to take a look!
New on DVD
Tooth Fairy - Everyone knows that sports these days can be pretty intense and players are always getting drafted all the time. Just ask Derek Thompson (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson). Thompson is one of the best Hockey players but he’s also one of the most unfriendly ones too. When a fan of his comes to him and wants an autograph, he gets turned down. The Star player is about to get drafted for an all new sport. The Mother of all Tooth Fairies (Julie Andrews) decides that Derek needs a lesson in humility and decides to give him some wings to teach him some manners. Will the hockey player who’s used to knocking teeth out find a new way to play? Johnson is a busy guy with a couple of upcoming projects including “The Other Guys” with Will Farrell and a new action thriller called “Faster” coming to theaters later this year.
Leap Year - Traditions always have a way of changing from year to year. It used to be tradition where the guy asked for the ladies’ hand in marriage. Anna (Amy Adams) has decided to do things her way. When she thinks Jeremy (Adam Scott) is about to pop the question, Anna is told that he has to leave for Ireland for work. Later, Anna hears about a leap year rule that in Ireland if you ask for someone’s hand in marriage, you have to say yes. Thinking she’s going to get her man, Anna touches down in the Irish countryside only to find that she has lost her means of transport. Enter Declan (Matthew Goode). Declan agrees to give her a ride so she can complete her mission. During the journey, Declan gets to know her and Anna’s feelings start to change. Is Anna going to ask Jeremy to get married or will she remain with Declan? My sources tell me that Adams might be involved with a sequel to the Disney Smash “Enchanted.” More on this as it develops.
