Here We Are, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol has been in full trailer mode and what does this mean? It means the Toddster watched the Super Bowl and saw most of the new movie trailers that are on the way with “The Lone Ranger,””Iron Man 3,” and “Fast and Furious 6” just to name a few. More on that in future patrols. There is a full week this time around. Let’s check the vault.

New on DVD

Alex Cross - Sooner or later, we always get a chance to see how someone got their start. Alex Cross (Tyler Perry) was just starting out in his career as a detective and psychologist working for the police. Alex has always been someone who has worked to find or help those who needed to be helped or stopped. Matthew Sullivan (Matthew Fox) has been all these things but just as the exact opposite. He’s gone on a killing spree in Cross’s city and now he wants to match wits with him. Sullivan decides to make it personal after he sets his sights on Cross’s wife. This sets the detective off on a dangerous road that he may not be able to return from. Will Cross be able to stop Sullivan? Perry is mostly known for his dramas and comedies and by checking the vault, you can find these. “Tyler Perry’s Medea’s Witness Protection,” “Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys,” and “Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns” available on DVD in stores now.

Flight - Most of the time people just want to go to work and do their jobs to the best of their ability. There are some jobs that require you to be great. Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) was an airline pilot and good at his job. Whitaker has had a lot in his career that he could handle but now he’s about to be put to the test. Whip’s plane finds itself in trouble and he has to crash it in order to save his passengers. Whip does just that and everyone thinks of him as a hero. However, as Whip’s superiors investigate the events behind the crash, they find a few things that don’t seem to add up. One of the things they find that might put Whip’s career in jeopardy is he may have been drinking on the job which could’ve led to the crash. Can Whip survive the fallout that might be coming from this investigation? Check out the Oscars on February 24 to see if Washington wins for this role for Best Actor (Incidentally the 24th is also the Toddster’s birthday).
