Hello, all you happy Patrollers! The Toddster is back steering the DVD Patrol boat as usual and I hope everyone has been able to see “Avengers.” Judging by the box office numbers, I’d say a lot of people have. I’ll even throw in a little prediction about when we could see on DVD. More on that later. Time to check the hold and see what surprises there are this week.
New on DVD
Chronicle - When you get a new toy, you always want to try it out first and make sure it works good. Andrew (Dane Dehaan), Steve (Michael B. Jordan), and Richard (Micheal Kelly) were three friends just trying to find their way through life and high school. Their lives are about to take a strange turn when they discover they have acquired super powers. At first, they start to have fun, but things get real serious after one of them starts to use his power for evil purposes. Can his friends convince him what he’s doing is wrong or will they be forced to stop him? My sources tell me that there is a chance for a sequel for this one. Stay tuned!
The Grey - Being forced to survive in the wild is one way to find out just what a person is made of. Ottway (Liam Neeson) worked for an oil company doing some security work and was asked to escort some guys up into Alaska. Things start to go wrong when their plane crashes in the cold countryside. Now Ottaway has to lead his men through it fighting all kinds of obstacles, including being chased by a pack of wolves who want them for dinner. Will our hero be able to stop them and save his men before it’s too late? Neeson is a busy guy with a number of projects coming up including a guest appearance in “The Dark Knight Rises” in theaters July 20 and he plays an admiral in the new movie “Battleship” in this weekend.
