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.
1408
Just in time for scary movie season, Stephen King's summer sleeper hit
1408 is coming out on DVD!
Not only can Steve Carell get animals to board an ark — he can also entice people to go to the movies. Carell's
Evan Almighty took
the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office, bumping
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer from its temporary throne.
While there are several new releases coming out this weekend (
Evan Almighty,
A Mighty Heart,
1408, and
others), it's hard to say if any of them will definitely knock
The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer off of its box office throne. What do you think?
This weekend the Fantastic Four sequel,
Rise of the Silver Surfer, "flamed on" to take the
top slot at the box office, raking in an impressive $57.4 million. This just beats the first
Fantastic Four movie's opening weekend which brought in $56 million last year.
In second place was
Ocean's Thirteen with $19 million while
Knocked Up followed behind at No.
The
Fantastic Four movie that came out before this summer's
Rise of the Silver Surfer made some money in the box office, but was given pretty bad reviews.
As poorly as those reviews may have been, though, it fared much better than this even earlier
Fantastic Four movie did, despite its stellar cast and super-impressive special effects (sarcasm alert). I dug this photo up on
Wikipedia, and I'm so glad I did.
This Friday, the Fantastic Four sequel,
Rise of the Silver Surfer, hits theaters to provide audiences with a fun, silly, summertime computer-animated treat. The Fantastic Four are a group of superheroes, each with his/her own cool power. If you could choose among these four, which power would you want?
Let me start off by saying, folks I am really surprised by the longevity of the "Got Milk?" campaign. These things have been going strong for what, a bajillion years now?
This
sequel to the first Fantastic Four movie finds the superheroes battling the Silver Surfer, a liquidy metallic guy who can change matter and who apparently "eats planets." According to this new trailer, "Everywhere this thing goes, eight days later, the planet dies." So, it's going to be a challenge taking care of this surfer dude.
