TuesDayVD #2

Happy afternoon everyone (well those in the US at least) and welcome to this week's TuesDayVD, where I talk about popular and select films that come out on DVD today and later on in the week.

Unlike last week, this week is full of huge popular movies, so much movies that I can't fit all of them in one post without boring you to death. Most of the movies that came out this week, actually, all of the movies that came out this week I haven't seen. As you get to know me more you will see that I am REALLY behind on a lot of films.

With that being said I can't say much about the movies being released because I haven't seen them, but if I do I'll be sure to update this blog with summaries or just post them at a later date as a separate post.

And with that, here are the new DVD releases for this week!


Gulliver's Travels
Directed by: Rob Letterman
Starring: Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Jason Segal, and Amanda Peet
Released at theaters on: December 25, 2010

The King's Speech

Rabbit Hole

All of the movies listed above were the most popular DVDs that were released this week. There are a lot of movies that are released weekly, and even daily. Most of these films go under the radar, and that is why I have this next list. The following movies are viewed well by audiences, but just don't get the attention they deserve at the box office. Here are the honorable mentions.

TuesDayVD #1

Hello there and welcome to ChrisCrossMedia's first installment of TuesDayVD, where we go over the DVD's that are coming out today and later on in the week. Unfortunately today there aren't that many blockbuster movies that hit the shelves, and that is why I will list them in our "Honarable Mentions" section at the end of this post.

Thankfully during this week we will see the release of the greatly anticipated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, which will be out on DVD this Friday the 15th of April!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is based on the book of the same name, which is the seventh and final installment of the insanely popular Harry Potter franchise. The movie came out later last year on November 19th 2010, and was accepted as a great addition to the movie series. The movie still included the original cast of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and director David Yates.


Now I have yet to read the book and let alone watch the movie. Growing up as a kid I loved the Harry Potter books, but unfortunately I only read up to halfway through the 6th book. As far as the movies are concerned I have only watched the first one, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I don't think the movies are bad, on the contrary I find them really interesting and think they are very well produced, but it's something about me where I feel that the books are always better than the movies. But don't let me discourage you, I still highly recommend that you go out and pick up this movie for yourself and sit down with family and friends to watch it.

Adding to that, I have a real big urge to actually finally sit down and re-read the whole franchise, and to also finally watch all of the movies, including this one and Part 2 that will be out later this year in theaters. Sorcerer's Stone here I come...again!

Honorable Mentions

As I mentioned before, there weren't that many big name movies that came out on DVD today, so that is why they get there "15 seconds of fame" here in this week's "Honorable Mentions".
