Major Titles At Your Video Store This Week:

Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past- this is Hollywood’s way of stealing from “A Christmas Carol” and putting it in theaters during the Summer. Pretty sneaky, Hollywood. Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner star in this obvious, but well meaning rip-off… er, re-interpretation of the holiday classic.

Observe and Report- Seriously, one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen this year. It’s either the worst comedy ever or a genius satire of U.S. foreign policy in Iraq. You be the judge. Seth Rogan , Ray Liotta and Anna Faris (who is great).

Lymelife- Think American Beauty meets the Ice Storm. Alec Baldwing, Timothy Hutton, and not one… but two Caulkin brothers, Rory and Kieran. But the real break out performance comes from Emma Roberts (who knew?). Definitely see this.

Battle For Terra- An animated family film where the humans are the bad guys. Well, not all of them, but still. Humans try to take over a planet because their planet has been used up of all it’s natural resources. It’s a cautionary tale and great for kids. Another reminder to go green.
