What’s the good word, fellow Patrollers? The DVD Patrol is ready one more time with an all new assortment of DVDs just in case you get stranded on a boring afternoon or it’s just plain raining out. That fun guy, the Toddster, is here to liven the place up for you. I’ve been out pounding the pavement finding movies and meeting a lot of new patrollers who enjoy this little column of mine. We’ve managed to find a few movies over the past couple of weeks and we also hope everyone enjoyed the Angelina Jolie special last week. Let’s see what we see.

Gulliver’s Travels - Being the big guy never meant more than it does here. Jack Black stars in this latest retelling of this classic story. Gulliver (Black) was always doing the same things working as a mailroom clerk. Then, he decided it was time for a vacation. He picks one of the strangest places to go – the Bermuda Triangle. As everyone knows, strange things tend to happen there. Gulliver is no exception. He finds himself in a storm, winds up shipwrecked, and on a small island and small is certainly the word here. Gulliver is a giant compared to the tiny people who live there. They find him to be a little strange but he tries to make them trust him and teach them what he knows in his own offbeat way. Will he find a way home? Black has a number of projects including a new comedy called “The Big Year,” he ends getting kidnapped in “The Muppets,’ and returns to voice Po in the new “Kung Fu Panda 2” all coming soon to theaters.
