Watch the goal, Patrollers! The gang at the DVD Patrol were all glued to the World Cup matches this past week but the top goalie himself, the Toddster, had to throw some things around the office so we could put together some good movies for you. We hope everyone enjoyed our sequel special last week and there are some special columns on the way. More details on that later. Get ready for the wind-up because here we go!
New on DVD
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief - There are people in the world who feel they were meant for more in life. Percy (Logan Lerman) was one such person. Based on the best selling book series, Percy and his mother lived their lives the best they could but there was always that feeling of something more. He also felt at home in the water and always wondered about his father but never really could find out much. Be careful what you wish for because he comes to find out that he’s really the son of Poseidon (Kevin Mckidd). A war is about to tear the heavens apart because Zeus’s (Sean Bean) thunderbolts has been stolen and Percy has been blamed for it. Now the gods want Percy’s head on a platter. Can he find the missing thunderbolts and prove his innocence or do the heavens come raining down? A possible sequel may be in the works my sources tell me. Stay tuned!
Hot Tub Time Machine - What if you had the chance to go back in time and change your life so you won’t make the same mistakes again? Adam (John Cusack), Lou (Rob Condry), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Jake (Clark Duke) decide to go back to the ski resort where they partied back in the day. The guys tend to remember better times and always wonder what would happen if history would repeat itself. They just might get their chance when a weird repairman (Chevy Chase) arrives to service their hot tub and it turns out to be a time machine that sends them back to 1985. Are our heroes going to be able to change their fates for the better? Another movie along the same lines is “Grown-Ups” with Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider where they play a bunch of friends who come together after 20 years now in theaters.
