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. Pickings were a bit slim, I have to say.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets — Love It or Leave It?
I have heard so many mixed reviews about the No. 1 movie, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, I'm more intrigued than ever to find out what all the fuss is about. Those who hated it really hated it, but those who loved it claim it's better than the first National Treasure.

National Treasure is Golden Over Holiday Weekend
National Treasure: Book of Secrets, the sequel to Nicolas Cage's 2004 hit, scored big at the box office over the long holiday weekend, bringing in an estimated $65 million in the five-day period between Friday and Tuesday.
I Am Legend finished second, pulling in an estimated $47.5 million over the five days. Fox wouldn't estimate how much money Alvin and the Chipmunks made over the long weekend, but as of Sunday it had brought in $29 million and was in third place behind National Treasure and Legend.
Box Office: National Treasure Still Gold, Juno Keeps Climbing
For the third weekend in a row, National Treasure: Book of Secrets led the way at the box office, bringing in a respectable $20.2 million. This is nice and all, but the real success story this weekend is that of Juno, the little indie movie that has consistently jumped higher and higher in the box office ranks over its five-week run at the theaters.
More often than not movies experience a decline at the box office after the initial buzz dies down, but not little Juno.
Box Office: Book of Secrets Is Truly a National Treasure
For the second lucrative weekend in a row, the National Treasure sequel Book of Secrets has taken the box office crown, raking in $35.6 million. Edging out I Am Legend for second place was Alvin and the Chipmunks, which brought in $29 million. Legend's $27 million brought it to No.
Box Office: Bucket List Narrowly Wins Over First Sunday

Razzie Nominations: Lohan, Norbit Among the Worst Offenders
A day before Hollywood recognizes its finest with Oscar nominations, the 28th annual Golden Raspberry Awards stepped up to call out the film world's worst. Lindsay Lohan's I Know Who Killed Me led all movies with nine nominations, but Eddie Murphy did LL one better, singlehandedly garnering five nominations (in four different categories!) for his multiple Norbit characters. That's a new Razzie record for one person, a dubious honor if ever there was one.
