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 also add Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Fanboys to your queue.
Fanboys: A Nerdy Nerd Movie
Let's say you are familiar with Ain't It Cool News, have heard the name Harry Knowles and generally keep up with the navel-gazing world of geekdom. As such, you'll probably find it pretty funny when you watch a longish scene in which an actor playing Knowles gets the crap beat out of him.
However, if you are part of probably the majority of people who have no idea what I'm talking about, that scene will likely be a little bit funny (someone getting the stuffing kicked out of them is often good for a small laugh) but mostly perplexing.
Movie Preview: Fanboys
It was almost a year ago that I was writing about "Darth Weinstein" and the drama surrounding the release of the ultimate fanboy movie, Fanboys.
The movie, starring Kristen Bell and Seth Rogen, follows a group of die-hard Star Wars fans on a road trip across the country to the Lucas Ranch. They run into trouble when they cross paths with another geek tribe: Trekkies.
Buzz In: Who Are Your Favorite Fictional Nerds?
Between Chuck and Flight of the Conchords, The Big Bang Theory and Tina Fey's 30 Rock alter ego Liz Lemon, I'm not sure we needed any more proof that we're in something of a pop culture nerd renaissance right now. But just in case, here's something else: The guy who wrote Fanboys just had another script picked up, this time about "a video game junkie facing a midlife crisis who learns that a young punk had broken a record he set as a teen." The guy sets out to reclaim his position at the top of the gaming throne.
Weekend Box Office: 21 Wins the Pot
Well, it looks like 21, the film about MIT students who take Vegas by storm, was a safe bet as it easily won the top spot at the box office. However, the overall weekend box office total was down 17 percent compared to last year, Variety reports. 21 earned an estimated $23 million, beating Horton Hears a Who and firmly establishing Jim Sturgess as a viable leading man.

Movie Preview: Kick-Ass, Starring McLovin'
Everyone was rumbling about director Matthew Vaughn's pet project, Kick-Ass, at Comic-Con this year, and now we finally get a peek at the official trailer. For those of you who aren't fanboys, let me explain: The film is based on the Marvel comic about a loner teenage boy (Aaron Johnson) who decides to become a superhero — despite the fact that he doesn't have any actual powers. That's when he teams up with Damon Macready (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter, Mindy (Chloe Moretz), aka "Hit Girl."
