What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.

Knowing
Oh, Nicolas Cage. He's always making these movies that I never want to pay for in the theater, but who am I kidding? I will watch them when they come out on DVD. Knowing is the kind of disaster movie that's perfectly fun to stick in at home and watch with a couple of friends.

The movie follows a schoolteacher named John Koestler (Cage) who discovers a time capsule containing shocking predictions that come true. He eventually figures out that his family will play a part in an upcoming apocalypse. Rose Byrne also stars in this movie.

Special features include audio commentary with director Alex Proyas, a making-of featurette, and a featurette about visions of the apocalypse.

Buzz readers are a savvy bunch and correctly predicted that Miley Cyrus's latest movie would debut at No.

Buzz readers are a savvy bunch and correctly predicted that Miley Cyrus's latest movie would debut at No. 1 over the weekend. Ms. Cyrus is a major force to be reckoned with at the box office, as this is her second blockbuster — and she's still a kid!

Hannah Montana: The Movie earned an estimated $34 million, zooming right by Fast and Furious which came in second.

Seth Rogen's dark comedy Observe and Report came in lower than expected at No. 4, behind Monsters vs. Aliens. Knowing rounded out the top five.

Movie Preview: Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne in Knowing

Opening March 20, Knowing features Nicolas Cage as a teacher whose son finds an old document with a bunch of numbers on it in a time capsule at his school.

Opening March 20, Knowing features Nicolas Cage as a teacher whose son finds an old document with a bunch of numbers on it in a time capsule at his school. Turns out the numbers represent a series of creepy predictions, some of which have already come true. But one of the predictions for the future has the teacher worried that he and his family are about to face something terrible.

The trailer looks a little on the generic side, with Cage doing his best as the worried, stressed-out father who's just trying to figure it all out while making impossible promises to his son. I like the mysterious puzzle aspect of it, though, and maybe it'll turn out to be kinda neat.

Does this action-thriller appeal to you? Or not so much? To watch the trailer, read more
