Happy Birthday, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol is celebrating a special birthday for a Patroller who makes it possible for the Toddster to bring this little column to you every week. A great greeting to the editor of this little paper you hold in your hand and he’s the Jeffmeister (don’t call him chief or late for dinner). We’ve always appreciated what the guy has done for us and continues to do since we get to write about movies and spread the word of the Patrol to you. Now let’s get busy.
New on DVD
Tron: Legacy - It makes you think what you miss when it’s gone. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) often thought a lot about his dad Kevin (Jeff Bridges). What Sam doesn’t know is his dad has a secret. Twenty years ago, Kevin had the misfortune of being digitally scanned into a computer by a master program and had to find a way out with the help of a security guardian called Tron (Bruce Boxleitner). Kevin found his way out and it led to him becoming a legend in the computer business. Kevin disappeared from his son’s life and now years later, Sam receives a message from Kevin that leads him to the old arcade that he spent time at when he was a kid. Suddenly, Sam finds himself zapped into the same digital world that Kevin found himself in. Will Sam find a way to survive and solve the mystery of his dad’s disappearance? Hedlund can be seen in another great DVD just coming out with Gwyneth Paltrow called “Country Strong” where a big time country star is trying to pick up the pieces of her career and become a success again. Also, a third “Tron” sequel is already in the works.
Little Fockers - Sometimes, it’s never easy trying to prove yourself to somebody who has a stubborn streak. Greg (Ben Stiller) has always had that problem with Jack (Robert Deniro). Ever since they met, it’s been one disaster right after another. In this latest sequel, Greg has to get a second job to support his family. Jack starts to look into what Greg is doing and let’s just say he’s less than thrilled. To prove that he has everything under control, he decides to have a birthday party for his kids to prove that there is nothing to worry about. Getting there won’t be so easy with all the craziness that always seems to follow Greg. Can he finally show everybody, especially Jack, that things will be OK? Deniro can currently be seen in “Limitless” with Bradley Cooper in theaters now. Also, see how all the comedy started with “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers” available on DVD now.
