DVD Patrol
Time to get jetting along, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol has stocked up our jet with everybody’s favorites and some new ones for this week. Your pilot, the Toddster, will be hitting the theater this week and a few here and there for awhile. At the same time, we’ll be finding some DVDS along the way with movies and some TV favorites. More on that later! Let’s check our selections for this week!
New on DVD
The Book of Eli - What some people won’t do to read a good book these days. In this case, some people are just dying to. Something bad has happened to the human race and now they are on the verge of being wiped out altogether. It’s possible that a mysterious stranger named Eli (Denzel Washington) might just have the solution to save us all. A strange book has come into his possession and now he will do whatever he has to safeguard it. However, there are those who want that knowledge for themselves and will do whatever they have to to get their hands on the book. Unfortunately, they haven’t counted on Eli. Will he do what it takes to stop them and save everyone? Washington keeps the action going with a new action thriller called “Unstoppable” coming to theaters in November with Rosario Dawson and Chris Pine (Star Trek).
When in Rome - It’s amazing the lengths that a person will go to for love. Just ask Beth (Kristen Bell). Beth’s sister was having the wedding of a lifetime in Rome but now Beth feels like she’s being passed by. She hears of an old story that if you take some coins from a fountain that your luck will change immediately. Her luck does change but not in the way she expects. Remember, the classic rule “There’s always a catch?” The catch here is whoever threw the coin in the fountain will immediately fall in love with you. Beth meets some new guys in the forms of Al (Danny Devito), Lance (Jon Heder), Gale (Dax Sheperd), and Antonio (Will Arnett). Beth does what she can to shake them but her sights are set on Nick (Josh Duhamel). Nick doesn’t believe in magic, but he does think true love is out there if you look hard enough. Can Beth find love her own way or will Nick convince her that its’ not that far away? Duhamel is hard at work with Shia Labouef on “Transformers 3” set for release next summer and Bell’s next project will be “Burlesque” heading to theaters later this year.

Unthinkable - How far will someone go to get to the truth and to save lives? FBI Agent Helen Brody (Carrie Ann Moss) works for a special unit who get information from terrorists. A former nuclear engineer named Younger (Michael Sheen) has built some bombs and planted them in different cities. After Younger is captured by the FBI, Helen is teamed with an agent who specializes in interogation and referred to as H (Samuel L. Jackson). She watched the agent go to work and does what he can to get Younger to reveal where he planted the bombs but won’t tell them. After while, the methods he uses seem to be a bit excessive. Helen wonders just how far will he go? Can Agent H find the truth before it’s too late? Jackson can currently be seen in “Mother and Child” and “Iron Man 2” which are still in theaters and will be seen in “The Other Guys” with Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg coming in August.
Macgyver (Lost Treasure of Atlantis/ Trail to Doomsday) - TV Spotlight returns with an old Series favorite of the Toddsters. Richard Dean Anderson returns with a Macgyver double feature sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. In “Lost Treasure of Atlantis,” Mac is recruited by some old college friends who think they have found the way to the Old City of Atlantis but are followed by thieves set on looting the city. Can Mac and his friends find a way to stop them? In “Trail to Doomsday,” Macgyver is invited to visit an old friend in London. When Mac’s friend is murdered and his daughter is kidnapped, he must move quickly because the kidnappers are close to getting their hands on atomic devices that could harm a lot of people. Is Macgyver up to the challenge to stop them? Seasons 1-7 of the classic series is also available in stores now.
Sanctuary - Season 2 is here as Amanda Tapping (Stargate SG-1) comes back as Helen Magnus to protect the world and its mysterious creature population in her Sanctuary. In the Season 2 opener, Magnus’s daughter Ashley (Emilie Ellurup) has been kidnapped by the Cabal who is responsible for kidnapping some innocents who have been given super abilities including Ashley so they can use them for their own ends. To find her, Magnus and her team recruit Kate Freelander (Agam Darshi) who used to work for the Cabal and may know where they are. Will they be able to save Ashley? Season 1 is also available in stores now with Season 3 starting on the Syfy Channel in the Fall.
That’s it for this week, Patrollers! As we’ve said before, some special columns are just around the corner including reviews for “The Karate Kid” and “The A Team.” Also, our Toddster team ups will include a special “Sequels That Don’t Suck” list from the crew and a salute to Clint Eastwood. Tune in next week, gang!
