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.
Ratatouille
This sweet, funny Pixar film was the summer's biggest animated hit (because let's face it, Shrek the Third was pretty unnecessary).
Box Office: Harry Potter, Of Course!
Harry Potter and Company made all sorts of money — both here and overseas — over the five-day opening for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Earning a tremendous $140 million nationally and $330 million worldwide, this fifth movie in the Harry Potter franchise had the best five-day opening of a non-holiday movie ever. Order of the Phoenix is on track to be the highest-grossing of all the Harry Potter movies.
Box Office: Transformers Pummel Their Way to No. 1
Unsurprisingly, Transformers took the No. 1 spot at the box office over the July 4th weekend. Having opened on Tuesday July 3, ticket sales easily broke Tuesday box office records and then went on to rope in summertime moviegoers the rest of the weekend, taking $152 million over the course of its 6 1/2-day opening, and approximately $67 million for just the weekend.
Ratatouille Heats Up the Box Office
How many puns can we make about Ratatouille, the animated movie about a rat chef, taking the top slot at the box office this weekend? Ratatouille deep fries Die Hard at the box office? Ratatouille slices and dices the competition?
Ratatouille: BuzzSugar Recommended, YumSugar Approved
Pixar's latest feast for the eyes, Ratatouille, opens today and my girl YumSugar tells me it's fantastic. The animation alone is impressive, as is usually the case with good ol' Pixar, and the story sounds funny and sweet: Remy the food snob rat finds himself in the kitchen of Paris' famous restaurant Gasteau's, helping the clumsy dishwasher Linguini save a ruined soup. From there the two become great friends, and through Linguini, Remy gets the chance to be a regular — if hidden — chef at Gasteau's.
What's Buzzworthy? Animated Family Movies
This Friday, Ratatouille hits theaters nationwide, and I can't wait. I'm a sucker for anything Pixar, and I've loved many of the animated family movies that have come out in recent years — especially The Incredibles and the Shrek movies. I'll go to the theaters to see these movies even when I don't have a child (read: legitimate excuse) to bring with me.
