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 the titles below you can also watch the Tom Hanks-Julia Roberts political movie
Charlie Wilson's War and the horror flick
One Missed Call.

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.
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.

Note: I asked
GiggleSugar to go to write up this review, and she graciously agreed. Thanks, Giggle!
