We’re running again, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol has gotten out the old running shoes because we have to stay ahead of the holiday crowd trying to get all the movies. The Toddster has managed to find a few here and there. There is even a teamup on the way but more on that later. Time to check our runtimes and see what movies we can see to power down from the workout.
New on DVD
Cowboys and Aliens - Being the new face in town is never an easy thing. In the old west, sometimes it could be shoot first and ask questions later. Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) had just rolled in and didn’t want any trouble until Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) came to find him. The only problem is Jake has been having memory problems and doesn’t remember what he’s done and where he’s been. Jake may be getting answers sooner than he thinks when strange ships and creatures start flying in. The Colonel may have to put his grudge on hold because the only person that may be able to save everyone is Jake. Can he find the answers he’s looking for and stop the creatures that have come to take the townspeople away? Craig is pretty busy right now with a new film coming soon to theaters in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and he starts filming the new James Bond movie called “Skyfall” set for theaters next year.
The Hangover II - Just when you thought a party couldn’t get any crazier. Stu (Ed Helms) is getting married this time around and wants to keep things as low key as he can. His pals Phil (Bradley Cooper), Doug (Justin Bartha), and Alan (Zach Galinfinakis) come in and you would think they would’ve learned something from the last time they partied. You know the old expression “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” They didn’t learn anything because this time around they end up in Thailand. Stu and the guys have to figure out what’s happened and have to find his soon to be brother in law. Can they get back in time for the wedding or is the party really over? Cooper has some great DVDs including “The A Team,” “Limitless,” and “He’s Just Not That Into You” in stores now.
