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 take home the fourth season of Entourage, as well as season five of One Tree Hill (you know, the one where they leap ahead in time and everyone owns a business or is a famous writer or something).
Box Office: Indiana Whips the Competition
Traditionally, Memorial Day weekend is very kind to Summer blockbusters, and this year was no exception for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. According to Variety, the return of the Steven Spielberg franchise was his biggest movie opening ever, hauling in an estimated $126 million over the four-day holiday.
While these results are a career high for Spielberg, the film itself did not break any box office records related to this holiday weekend or any other long weekend openings.
Caption It: Which Caption Should Win?
This week's Caption It comes from What Happens in Vegas and has loads of comedic potential. You definitely gave me some laugh out loud moments with your entries, which are all awesome.
Thanks to all of you for pitching in, but we can only choose one winner!
Narnia's Prince Gallops Away With the Box Office
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian handily won the top stop at the box office over the weekend, though it failed to bring in as much as the first Narnia film did in 2005.
In the "yikes" department, Speed Racer (already struggling at the box office) dropped from third place to fourth, only earning an estimated $7.6 million this weekend. Iron Man continued to set records, holding strong at second place while What Happens in Vegas took third.

Box Office: Iron Man Continues to Soar
Update: As of this afternoon, What Happens in Vegas beat out Speed Racer for the No. 2 spot at the box office, Variety reports.
It will come as no surprise to the majority of movie critics who screened Speed Racer that the highly anticipated Wachowski brothers' flick had a disappointing opening weekend.
What Happens in Vegas: Sometimes the Formula Works
Perhaps it's because last week's Made of Honor left me with sub-zero expectations for this genre but whatever the reason, I really liked What Happens in Vegas. Sure, it's cheesy, there's a ton of overacting and absurd coincidences, but there's also a strange charm to this movie. And while I never thought there might be real chemistry between Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz, two actors who I think have become like robots trying way too hard to impersonate human beings with their exaggerated goggle-eyes and faux indignation, there is, actually, something there between them.
Which Upcoming Comedy Are You Most Interested in Seeing?
As we ease out of the stark wintertime, which is often a sluggish time for great movie releases, we've got some fun-looking lighthearted fare coming out in the near future. Which comedy do you most want to see?
Note: I'm leaving off the Sex and the City movie because: a) it would win the poll, and b) I don't consider it a straightforward comedy like these, especially what with all the death talk.
New What Happens in Vegas Trailer Is . . . Almost Kinda Funny
To be honest, I'd sort of brushed aside the Ashton Kutcher-Cameron Diaz rom-com What Happens in Vegas because from the trailer it struck me as vapid and charmless. This new trailer, however, is slightly better, I must admit. Diaz tiredly steps back into her kooky-goofball-hot-girl shoes as Joy, a woman who takes off for Las Vegas in a post-breakup getaway.
Cameron and Ashton Know When to Hold 'Em
It was only a matter of time, really, before goofy Cameron Diaz and goofier Ashton Kutcher got together for a romantic comedy. The two are in talks to do What Happens in Vegas, and not unlike Lucky You, I have an inkling that this will be chock full of "roll the dice and take a chance in love" puns.
Variety has a plot description:
Set in Sin City, story revolves around two people who discover they've gotten married following a night of debauchery, with one of them winning a huge jackpot after playing the other's quarter.
