Underworld Rise of the Lycans

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.

Taken
I never got around to seeing Taken when it was in theaters, so I'm glad it's out on DVD. The movie stars Liam Neeson as a former spy whose daughter (Maggie Grace) is kidnapped while vacationing with a friend in Paris. The kidnappers work for human traffickers, which gives the plot an even creepier twist.

Special features include an extended cut audio commentary by director Pierre Morel, cinematographer Michel Abramowicz and car stunt supervisor Michel Julienne, and a making-of featurette.

I think it's pretty awesome that while Hollywood is busy congratulating itself on fantastic performances these past two weekends with the Golden Globes and SAG awards, America is meanwhile off to the theaters to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I love this country! You can't put us in a box.

Once again the goofy comedy was No. 1 at the box office, followed by newcomer Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. In third place came the Clint Eastwood drama, Gran Torino, which has also been an audience favorite for several weeks.

Hotel for Dogs came in fourth place and the "slumdog" everyone loves to root for, Slumdog Millionaire, rounded out the top five.
