Hope everyone is enjoying the winter, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol is always amazed at the weather this time of year, Sometimes it’s cold when it was and then it’s just a little cold. This it has been. The Toddster knows no matter what it is outside, you can always enjoy a good movie no matter what it’s doing. Let’s see what there is this time out.
New on DVD
Real Steel - It’s always interesting to see how much sports can change. Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) may not be happy with it since he’s pretty much out of a job now that robots have taken over the sport of boxing. Charlie takes the good with the bad and builds robots to fight. His last few fights haven’t worked out so good and to try something different, Charlie joins with his son Max (Dakota Goyo) to make a robot that no one will be able to beat. Charlie and Max’s relationship hasn’t been the greatest over the last few years. Maybe this will bring them closer together. Will they be able to win it all ? My sources tell me that Jackman is working very hard to get ready for another “Wolverine” movie and will be out sometime next year in theaters.
50/50 - Adam (Joseph Gordon Levitt) has a pretty good life with his girlfriend and a pretty good job too. All that is about to change. Adam receives some bad news when he goes to the doctor and finds out that he has cancer and nothing can really be done about it. Kyle (Seth Rogen) finds out about it and wants to help his friend but also sees it as a way to get what he wants too. Adam has a pretty good outlook considering what’s going on. Adam decides to make the best out of it even those around him are having trouble with the new facts of Adam’s circumstances. Will Adam help his friends find a way to live life in the short time he has left? Levitt has a number of upcoming projects including a role in the much anticipated “The Dark Knight Rises” coming to theaters in July.
