Time to go again, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol is cruising along one more time for some movies for you. The Cruise Director, the Toddster, has picked some out for you. I sure hope some of my Franchise choices pointed you in the right direction. This column has always been a lot of fun for me and we want to keep on going for more years to come. Special thanks to Jeff Genung for taking a chance on the ole Toddster. This is just a little something that gets the weekend started off on a good note. Let’s see what there is.
New on DVD
Larry Crowne - Sometimes a new start in life is something everyone needs. The timing can be better at times though. Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) had a comfortable job working in at a store where he had a lot of experience. The store had other plans and decided to lay him off. Larry decided to update his skills by taking some college courses where he meets a speaking teacher named Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts) who just teaches to get a check. As time goes by, her attitude begins to change. It seems being around Larry makes her forget her problems and even those with her marriage. Luck always has a way bringing people together. Can Larry and Mercedes find something that brings them together finally? Roberts is trying something different for a change of pace in a new version of Snow White called “Mirror, Mirror” where she plays the evil queen set for release in 2012.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 2 - Every good mission for a hero has to come to an end. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint) have been on a mission to find out what they can about Lord Valdermort (Ralph Fiennes). They try to find the Horacruxes - an ancient relic of power that can bring immortality or destruction. Harry now has to find the part of the soul that has his immortality and destroy it forever. Harry and his friends just have to overcome everyone that is after him. He knows that the final fight is going to come down to him and Valdermort himself. Can Harry do what needs to be done to stop him and save everyone? Radcliffe is moving on with his career by starring in a new scary movie called “The Woman in Black” set for release early next year.
