The Muppets

Jason Segel co-wrote and stars in this sequel worthy of Jim Henson's epic franchise.

DVD and Blu-ray features include behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, spoof trailers, and blooper reels.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

David Fincher directed the first American adaptation of Stieg Larsson's hugely popular Millennium Trilogy. Starring Rooney Mara in the Oscar-nominated title role of Lisbeth Salander, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is an enthralling (if slightly disturbing) film that introduces audiences to punk hacker Lisbeth and disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist, (Daniel Craig) as they team up to solve a murder in the twisted Vanger family. DVD and Blu-ray come packed with four hours of features including commentary by Fincher and behind-the-scenes footage.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: I Spy a Masterpiece

The fact that Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a well-crafted mystery that allows you to play detective yourself would be enough for me to say it's good, but the fact that it's so superbly acted makes it great.

The fact that Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a well-crafted mystery that allows you to play detective yourself would be enough for me to say it's good, but the fact that it's so superbly acted makes it great. In the 1970s-set film, Gary Oldman plays George Smiley, a former intelligence officer who's summoned out of retirement to help root out a mole in Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, AKA "the Circus." Oldman leads an ensemble of incredible actors like Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Toby Jones, and up-and-comers like Benedict Cumberbatch.

The men play British agents in the Circus devoted to monitoring the intelligence between Russia, Britain, and the US during the Cold War. The agents have a long history of working together, but each one is potentially the double agent working for the Soviets. As Smiley unearths clues to reveal the identity of the mole, the film makes you trust and doubt each of the suspects equally with an absorbing story that's worthy of its fine cast. To find out why I enjoyed the film, just keep reading.

Gary Oldman stars in next week's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as famous literary character George Smiley, and I sat down to chat with Oldman about the film. He explained why this is one of the best roles he's had, and how he gained weight for the job. He also talked about his other highly anticipated film, The Dark Knight Rises, and joked that he's done so many films with Tom Hardy that they're getting married next year. Watch!

Check Out the Cool Poster For Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a thriller that's coming at us this November, and the poster for it has me intrigued.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a thriller that's coming at us this November, and the poster for it has me intrigued. At first glance, it looks like a photo of Gary Oldman, but upon closer inspection, we can see that his likeness is made up of a series of numbers. The film follows a retried British Intelligence officer who returns to work to help to track down a Russian mole in the 70s, and the hunt intensifies as Oldman surveys the possible suspects.

The trailer for the film is chock-full of stellar actors including Colin Firth and Tom Hardy, but if there's one thing to garner from the poster, it's that this movie belongs to Oldman.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Trailer: There's a Spy Among Firth, Oldman, Hardy, Strong

It's still Summer, but with a few choice trailers, it feels like we're already getting a taste for what awards season will look like.

It's still Summer, but with a few choice trailers, it feels like we're already getting a taste for what awards season will look like. Case in point: the trailer for Cold War-set Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which looks seriously fantastic. In the adaptation of the 1979 novel, Gary Oldman stars as principal character George Smiley, a detective who has come out of retirement to sniff out a Russian agent working as a spy within the British Secret Intelligence Service.

From the tense preview, we have a few prime suspects for the mole, including Colin Firth, Tom Hardy (rocking a glorious '70s mane), and frequent villain Mark Strong. That stellar cast plus the intense music and voice-over have me excited for some excellent spy drama come this Thanksgiving. The film will be released Nov. 18, so watch the trailer when you read more
