Juno finally hits your DVD shelves today and if you want to see it this weekend, I’d suggest running to Blockbuster well before Friday.

We also have aliens, predators, devils, history and exploding bridges. Let’s go!

Juno

As I mentioned, Juno comes out today and it’s going to blow your mind. We have the normal edition, the Blu-Ray edition and the suped-up 2-Disc spectacular version with all kinds of bonus features. Richard Roeper said this past weekend that it has one of the best gag reels he’s seen in awhile.

If you haven’t seen the movie, it was my favorite from last year and was loved by almost everyone that saw it. Take a chance and rent it for this weekend, you wont regret it. (buy)

Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead

Phillip Seymore Hoffman and Ethan Hawke are enough to make me want to see this, but it got pretty great reviews, even an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is a story about two brothers who decide to rob their own parents jewelry store. It’s also out on Blu-Ray! (buy)

Alien vs Predator and Predator

If you like these fun little alien horror action movies and you have Blu-Ray, this is your week. There is a two-pack edition with Alien vs. Predator and Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. You can also get Predator this week on Blu-Ray, which probably looks pretty darn good. (buy)

The Adams Chronicles

I’d never heard of this until today, but in 1976 this mini-series came out and won four Emm’ys and a Peabody award. It chronicles four generations of Adamses and 150 years of American history. Sounds pretty awesome and I might like to actually watch this sometime. (buy)

Also, if you are wanting to get the newest history of John Adams, you can pre-order the awesome HBO series right now for like $20 off the normal price. Giddiup!

The Bridge on the River Kwai: Two disc Collector’s Edition

One of the greatest war movies of all time, with Alex Guinness playing a British captive in a Japanese prison camp…my dad showed me this film and I’ve always loved it. Now there is a newly restored, two-disc edition that is supposed to be pretty great. (buy)
