Wreck-It Ralph

John C. Reilly voices Ralph, a bulky video game villain itching to shed his bad-guy image and become a hero. The film's stellar voice cast also includes Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch, and Jack McBrayer. Chock-full of nostalgic references (think Q*bert and Sonic the Hedgehog), Wreck-It Ralph is just as much fun for adults as it is for kids. The DVD comes with the Oscar-winning short film Paperman, deleted and extended scenes, and making-of featurettes.

Red Dawn

Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson take the reins in this remake of the 1984 action film. This time, the invading forces are North Koreans, and they take over Spokane, WA. Lucky for Spokane, its best and brightest young adults are ready to fight for freedom. Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki also star in the unnecessary remake that suffers from a laughable script and distinct lack of charm that the original had. The DVD include four making-of featurettes.

Red Dawn Trailer: Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson Take the US Back

Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson weren't hot young stars quite yet when they filmed Red Dawn in 2009, but they are now, which means it's a great time for the movie to be released.

Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson weren't hot young stars quite yet when they filmed Red Dawn in 2009, but they are now, which means it's a great time for the movie to be released. In the trailer for the reboot of the '80s film, Hemsworth stars as Jed, a Marine who's visiting home when the United States is suddenly and aggressively attacked by North Korean forces. As the government (and society as we know it) collapses, Jed escapes with his younger brother Matt (Josh Peck) and then heads up a ragtag group of renegades (including Hutcherson) determined to fight the communist invaders and save the country.

It's not just Hemsworth and Hutcherson that make this preview so exciting — the special effects look awesome and the story line seems accessible, even for people who don't love political thrillers. The action-packed flick opens in November, but you can take a peek at the trailer after the jump.

See the First Pictures of Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in Red Dawn

As a fan of both Thor and The Hunger Games, I'm excited to see the first images of Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson starring together in the remake of '80s action flick Red Dawn.
Red Dawn

As a fan of both Thor and The Hunger Games, I'm excited to see the first images of Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson starring together in the remake of '80s action flick Red Dawn. The film, which revolves around a group of high school students who put aside their differences to protect their school from an invasion, was actually shot in 2009, before Hemsworth or Hutcherson had their breakout roles.

We also get a peek at Josh Peck, who plays Hemsworth's younger brother. All three guys definitely look a little more baby-faced than they do now — doesn't Chris look more like his little brother, Liam, without all those Thor muscles? I'll be curious to see if these guys can fill the shoes of the original cast (which includes Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen) when Red Dawn opens on Nov. 21.
