As Eagle Eye approaches, I got to thinking that the only thing young Shia LaBeouf has been up to since hitting the big time has been action movies. The former Even Stevens cutie got a huge break in the Summer blockbuster Transformers, acted alongside film legends in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, moved on to Eagle Eye, and has been working on the second Transformers movie all Summer.

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.
Disturbia
If you haven't seen cutie Shia LaBeouf in this surprisingly successful teenage thriller with a premise similar to that of Rear Window, it's time to rent Disturbia. 
Along with preparing for the opening of Transformers next Tuesday July 3 and working on the fourth Indiana Jones movie, Shia LaBeouf has signed on to team up with his Disturbia director D.J. Caruso for another project. Titled Eagle Eye, the movie has Shia starring as "a young slacker whose overachieving twin brother has died mysteriously. 
While it's no "biggest opening weekend in box office history" like Spider-Man 3's was, Shrek did well for himself when Shrek the Third opened this weekend and raked in a whopping $122 million. This is the third-biggest opening in movie history, and the biggest opening for an animated film. It looks like kids still rule when it comes to box office hits, regardless of the so-so reviews the movie has received.
Having watched his spooky teen version of Rear Window top the box office charts for three weeks in a row, Disturbia writer Christopher B. Landon has just signed on to write another thriller — this time about teenage witches.
Set in contemporary times, story revolves around three teens accused of practicing witchcraft. 
We knew Spider-Man 3 was going to have a big first weekend — but how big? Well, the movie brought in an estimated $148 million, making it the biggest opening weekend ever in North America, according to Variety. The numbers quickly ignited sequel talk, with a Sony executive gushing that there would be "a fourth and a fifth and a sixth and a seventh" Spidey flick. 
Adam Brody continued to master the fine art of looking adorably disheveled in NYC as he hopped in a taxi. We're loving the Adam overload that's been coming our way thanks to his new movie, but apparently not everyone is on the Brody bandwagon. In the Land of Women tanked at the box office while Disturbia took #1 for the second weekend in a row.
