What to Rent: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:30:00 PDT

I hope you're ready to bring some action into your home, because the latest DVD rentals are packing plenty of it. There are fights, gore, and good-looking men ahead, so check out this week's picks.

Clash of the Titans

Good battles evil in this remake of the 1981 epic based on Greek mythology. Demigod Perseus (Sam Worthington), son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) must save his town from the clutches of a wicked sea monster called the Kraken. He assembles a group of soldiers to head into battle against the monster and Hades (Ralph Fiennes), leaving us with a whole lotta CGI fight scenes. It doesn't hold a candle to the campy original, but I still enjoyed this one for the undeniably cool special effects. DVD extras include delete scenes, an alternate ending, commentary, and a profile of Sam Worthington.

Repo Men
In this futuristic sci-fi thriller, partners Remy (Jude Law) and Jake (Forest Whitaker) make a living repossessing artificial super organs from the owners that can't pay for them. Translation: they'll cut out your heart/lungs/kidneys and leave you for dead. The tables turn when Remy finds himself the owner of a top of the line ticker he can't afford, and Jake is sent to retrieve it.

Critics panned the film for a thin plot and an abundance of gore, but the original premise might make it a good rental (plus, maybe it'll be easier to stomach on the small screen). DVD extras include deleted scenes and featurettes.

Box Office: Dragon Makes a Comeback

BuzzSugar — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 05:30:00 PDT

Despite its lack of superheroes and weapons, Dreamworks's How to Train Your Dragon managed to regain the top spot at the box office with $20 million. It's been a few weeks since it came in at number one, but it looks like the family fave was a bigger draw than my pick, Kick-Ass, which came in closely behind it at No. 2, earning $19.8 million.

Last week's winner, Date Night, came in third with $17.3 million, followed by new release Death at a Funeral, which pulled in $17 million. The top five was completed by blockbuster Clash of the Titans, which fell to $15.8 million.

UPDATE: Final tallies calculated Monday show that Kick-Ass actually beat Dragon for the No. 1 spot!

Box Office: Audiences Make a Date With Tina and Steve

BuzzSugar — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 03:00:00 PDT

Steve Carell and Tina Fey are taking their collaboration all the way to the bank. Their comedy Date Night earned the top spot at the box office over the weekend with $27.1 million - well deserved, in my opinion, though some insiders are arguing that the race is too close to call just yet. That's because the film narrowly squeaked by last week's No. 1 blockbuster, Clash of the Titans, which took second place with $26.8 million.

Titans was followed close behind by How to Train Your Dragon with $25.3 million for third. Finishing out the rest of the top five was Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? with $11 million, and Miley Cyrus's The Last Song which brought in $10 million.

Box Office: Clash of the Titans Slays the Competition

BuzzSugar — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 05:45:00 PDT

Seems that the gods are mighty hard to defeat. The remake of Clash of the Titans took charge of the weekend's box office, bringing in a hefty $61.4 million for first place. Even Tyler Perry who usually earns the top spot with his films proved to be no match. His Why Did I Get Married Too? came in second with $30.1 million.

Last week's winner How to Train Your Dragon bumped down a couple of notches to No. 3 with $29.2 million, while Miley Cyrus's The Last Song took fourth with $16.2 million. Keep in mind, however, that since The Last Song debuted on Wednesday, its actual five-day total is around $25.6 million. Finishing out the top five with $8.2 million was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
