Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World flew a little under the radar when it was released in 2010, but for my money, it remains one of the most original and entertaining flicks. Michael Cera plays the melancholy Scott, and the film is peppered with some of my favorite faces: Kieran Culkin, Aubrey Plaza, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jason Schwartzman, Chris Evans, and Mae Whitman. Check out some of my favorite quotes, and tell me yours!

• "You know what sucks? . . . Everything." — Scott
• "That's actually hilarious." — Lucas
• "He punched the highlights out of her hair!" — Young Neil

We've got a handful of big films and recognizable faces in this week's new DVDs. Along with these three releases, you can also check out Ramona and Beezus and Love Ranch.

Grown Ups

Adam Sandler rounds up some of his SNL cronies (Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, plus Kevin James) for the story of five childhood friends who reunite for a weekend of camaraderie (and immaturity) following the death of their grade school basketball coach. There's not much depth here, but as seen in old-school Sandler flicks, you have endless pratfalls, fart jokes, and the requisite Steve Buscemi cameo. Special DVD features include a behind-the-scenes featurette with the cast and gag reels.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Michael Cera leads a cast of hot young actors (Jason Schwartzman, Anna Kendrick, and Chris Evans just to name a few) in this adaptation of the awesomely geeky graphic novel series. Cera plays the title character, a bassist who's completely smitten with the mysterious, blue-haired Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). To win her heart, he must fight all seven of her evil exes in a video game-like series of battles. The film is fast-paced, clever, and definitely worth a second viewing at home. Special DVD features include cast commentaries, deleted scenes, and bloopers.

Looks like Summer audiences are craving action! The Sylvester Stallone-directed The Expendables brought its heavy artillery to the box office and came away with first place in its opening weekend with $35 million. It faced off against fellow new release Eat Pray Love, which used the power of Julia Roberts's smile to get to second place with a $23.7 million intake.

Last week's champ The Other Guys came in at third place with $17 million, trailed by Inception at $11.4 million. The other newbie at theaters, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, barely made the top 5, earning just $10.5 million.

Eat Pray Love and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World are two very different films, but both have their own strong points. Let us help decide which you'll see this weekend!

Before they were rivals in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Michael Cera and Mae Whitman were romantic interests on Arrested Development. As George Michael and Ann Veal, Cera and Whitman were young, apple-cheeked teens in love . . . a far cry from Scott Pilgrim and Roxy Richter, who only want to decimate each other. Watch this clip from the series, and try not to get too nostalgic for the hilarious Fox show — or too eager for the much-anticipated movie version.
