Everyone get on board, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol train is leaving the station and the conductor himself, the Toddster, has some interesting news as well as some excellent picks for this week. We’ve been making some new friends and setting up a few contacts to help us guide the Patrol a little bit better. More on that later. Look out the window because here you go!
New on DVD
The Wolfman - It’s often said that everyone has some kind of beast lurking inside of them. In Lawrence Talbot’s (Benicio DelToro) case, that’s putting it mildly. Talbot returns home to find out that his brother has been killed by some type of animal. Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins) is glad to see his son and Lawrence decides to see what he can find out about the killing. Also, he tells his brother’s wife Gwen (Emily Blunt) that he shall find out the truth. Soon into looking for information, Lawrence is attacked by an animal as well. The attack leaves a lasting effect on him as he begins to change into a werewolf. Will Lawrence find an antidote to this curse and is there more to the mystery than meets the eye? Hopkins will be seen next Summer in the live action film of “Thor” and Blunt can be seen in “The Adjustment Bureau” coming to theaters later this year.
Alice in Wonderland - When you do something a second time, there is always something you missed the first time or something you forgot to do. Alice (Mia Wasiskowska) goes to a party but she gets bored by it so she heads outside to see a strange site. She sees a white rabbit with a pocket watch? The strange part is this all seems very familiar to her. Alice follows him and finds herself back in a strange place she feels she has been to before. The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) soon arrives and tells her that the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) has taken over and imprisoned the White Queen (Anne Hathaway). The Hatter tells her that her return has been foretold and she will defeat a powerful dragon. The Red Queen knows if this happens, she will lose control. Will Alice be able to bring peace to the Wonderland and find her way back home? Depp will be seen and heard in upcoming projects including “The Tourist,” a new animated adventure called “Rango,” and as Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Stranger Tides” in theaters next Summer.
