What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
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. In addition to my selections below you can now add High School Musical 3, Flash of Genius, Religulous, and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People to your queue.
Box Office: It's a Chihuahua World and We're Just Living in It
If the photo below were a Caption It contest based on this weekend's box office results, my entry would go something like: "Well Leo, there's no easy way to say this so I'm just going to come out with it. We got beat by the little talking dogs. Beat bad."
Body of Lies: Tense in Some Parts, Tedious in Others
Body of Lies has slipped on and off my radar over the past couple of months. It's hard to ignore because it's Ridley Scott working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, and yet the previews haven't looked all that original. But I went anyway, hoping to be entertained and thinking that if it turned out to be thought-provoking as well, all the better.
Watch, Pass, TiVo, or Rent: Body of Lies
For this next installment of Watch, Pass, TiVo, or Rent (my version of Do, Dump, or Marry), I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on this Friday's new release from Ridley Scott: Body of Lies.
Starring Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, the story follows a CIA operative on the trail of a high-ranking terrorist in Jordan. Apparently, "the spy is aided by the head of Jordan's covert operations in an uneasy alliance that leads to cultural and moral clashes between the men."
Movie Preview: Ridley Scott's Body of Lies
Does the Body of Lies trailer come with the scent of Oscar noms, or am I getting ahead of myself here? Nobody knows just yet, but with heavy-hitting stars like Leo and Russell Crowe and the dark intensity that director Ridley Scott brings to all his projects, we may be looking at a future critical darling here. Then again, I thought Scott's American Gangster would do way better at the Oscars than it did, so maybe I should just stop with the predictions for a while.

The Vampire Diaries "Children of the Damned": The Good, The Bad and The Bloody
We might have been prepared for The Vampire Diaries flashback episode "Children of the Damned" with this sneak peek a while back, but watching this week's episode filled in a lot of blanks. I love the jump from the modern-day mystery to the 1800s ancestral stories, but even more, I love how layered the story is.
I'm ready to talk about everything that went down, so let's tackle the good, the bad, and the bloody when you read more
Leonardo DiCaprio and Mel Gibson to Go Viking
Leonardo DiCaprio and Mel Gibson are teaming up and going back in time for a period piece about Vikings. Not much is known about the project as of yet (including the title), but Gibson is slated to direct while DiCaprio will be the one slipping on the horns. William Monahan, whose credits include The Departed and Body of Lies, will pen the script — obviously he knows a thing or two about writing for DiCaprio.
FlashForward Breakdown, "Scary Monsters and Super Creeps"
FlashForward gets into the Halloween spirit this week, with a few tricks for the characters and treats for the audience. We get just a bit more info about Simon and see a few costumes as Olivia and Mark's relationship issues come to a head in a big way.
This week's episode is heavy on the revelations (just like Sonya Walger promised), so to get into it, just read more
FlashForward Breakdown, "137 Sekunden"
This week's episode of FlashForward isn't exactly action-packed, but we do finally meet a few significant others — including Demetri's fiancee, Zoe — and get a bit more character insight and some clues about the blackout. Not to mention the introduction of one creepy former Nazi.
It wasn't my favorite of the first three episodes, but this show is still keeping me on the edge of my seat.
