Holy Silent Knights, Patrollers! The Toddster has promised it and it’s finally here. The DVD Patrol has some great picks along with a certain caped crusader. I hope everyone has gotten started on their Christmas shopping and they survived Black Friday a couple of weeks ago. Hope in the Batmobile and see where it goes.
New on DVD
The Dark Knight Rises - Picking up eight years after the events of “The Dark Knight.” Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has been in retirement after the death of Harvey Dent. Now a new adversary named Bane (Tom Hardy) has appeared and wants to make his mark. Also, a new thief named Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) has come into Wayne’s life and has stolen some of his possessions. Bruce knows he has to come out of retirement to take on these new threats. Being out of the game for so long, can Batman take out the new problems troubling his city? There is a brand new Dark Knight trilogy available or you can but them individually. The rumor says both Bale and Director Christopher Nolan are through making Batman movies. We’ll see!
Lawless - Based on a true story, family bonds can be pushed to the limit. Jack (Shia Labeouf) and Forest (Tom Hardy) Bondurant lived in a part of the country where life was difficult especially in the early 1900s. To make money, they became bootleggers where they would run moonshine. During prohibition, this was considered a no-no. They had a choice. Either give other interested parties a piece of the business or go to jail. Forest is not someone you push. Jack doesn’t want any trouble. Can the two brothers find some common ground before it’s too late? Labeouf is currently pursuing some independent projects, but some good DVDs starring Labeouf from the patrol archives include “Eagle Eye,” “Disturbia,” and the “Transformers” trilogy available in stores now.
