New Releases For The Week Of November 7th, 2010

We didn't have time for ANY of these this week on The Clubhouse With Rob & Cody this week, so we have a lot to cover!

In Theaters This Week
  • Morning Glory: Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, & Rachel McAdams star in the story of a morning television show.  Hilarity may ensue.
  • Skyline: Aliens invade.  What is interesting here is that this thing literally went from blank page to big screen in just about a year.  Might rent it later.
  • Unstoppable: Denzel Washington (if I have to tell you who he is... I won't) and Chris Pine (the new Captain Kirk) try to stop a runaway train.  And no, I don't think the Soul Asylum song applies here.

On DVD & Blu-Ray This Week
  • Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Michael Cera falls in love with a girl, and in order to be with her, he must fight her 7 Evil Exes, Mortal Kombat-style.  Bummed I missed this in theaters, but I will DEFINITELY rent, if not buy.
  • Grown Ups: Adam Sandler, Rob Scheider, Chris Rock, David Spade, Selma Hayek and Kevin James.  Do you NEED a plot here?  And I think we ALL know who was supposed to be in the Kevin James role here.  No disrespect, sir.
  • Superman/Shazam: The Return Of Black Adam: Meh.  More interested in the other DC release this week. 
  • Charlie St. Cloud: Zac Efron is a kid whose brother dies, and his ghost starts to slip away when he falls in love.  Teenage girls buying this by the dozen ensues.
  • Knucklehead: Paul "The Big Show" Wight, Melora Hardin, Paul Feuerstein, and more.  Hilarity WILL ensue, and I will watch it.
  • Ramona & Beezus:  Kids movie brought to light.  I am not the one to ask about this.
  • Sherlock: Season One: This is a new series from the BBC, updating the detective into modern times.  I am slightly interested.
  • Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 (Chicago): They do this in one city a year, and CLAPTON FOUNDED IT.  Sold.
  • Californication: Season Three: Red Hot Chili Peppers sued them for the name.  And I'm pretty sure they settled out of court.  That's all I've got here.
  • Lie To Me: Season Two: My wife was on board with this in Season One, but not after.  And I LIKE Tim Roth.
  • Depeche Mode: Tour Of The Universe, Barcelona: Chad told me that Dave Gahan was having SERIOUS health issues when this was filmed.  Not quite sure why they went ahead and released it anyway.
  • Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?: The Complete Series: This comes in a replica of the Mystery Machine.  That alone makes it cool.  Would prefer "The Scooby-Doo Movies".
  • Arsenic & Old Lace: My mom LOVES this movie.  That is why it's on the list.
  • Hell's Kitchen: Season Four: And Gordon Ramsay STILL gets work.
  • Golden Girls: 25th Anniversary Complete Collection: Comes in a replica of a handbag.  And this was 25 YEARS AGO.  Wow.
  • Tremors (Blu-Ray): Wasn't Reba McEntire in this?  Kevin Bacon was, I know that.  Great B-movie.
  • Ocean's 11 50th Anniversary (Blu-Ray): Yes, this is the ORIGINAL with The Rat Pack.  MUCH better ending.  Check it out.
  • Hunt To Kill: Latest from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.  He kills people.  They probably don't kill him.
  • Secret Origin: The Story Of DC Comics: THIS is the DC release I'm interested in.  Documenntary (DVD only) of it's history.  Want to double-feature this with "Waking Sleeping Beauty".

On Music Store Shelves This Week
  • Reba McEntire, "All The Woman I Am": She's REBA.  That is all you need to know.  She's the Queen.
  • Cee-Lo Green, "The Lady Killer": With the success of "F**k You," and a lot of critical buzz for the latest album from one half of Gnarles Barkley, I'm intrigued.
  • Kid Rock, "Born Free":  Yeah, no.
  • Lee DeWyze, "Lee DeWyze": Last season's "American Idol" winner releases his album.  I'll reserve judgement until I hear a couple of tracks.  BTW, this show is DONE.
  • Nelly, "5.0": Given the not-so-success of his last two albums, the guy who is a proud member of the St. Lunatics (they're from St. Louis and they are Lunatics, get it?) pledges that this is the best thing he's done creatively in years.  Hope so.
  • Bon Jovi: Greatest Hits: The Ultimate Collection": Until another few albums.
  • Pink, "Greatest Hits... So Far!" Until another album.
  • Rascal Flatts, "Nothing Like This": As long as it's better than their "CSI" episode, I'll give it a pass.
  • Rihanna, "Loud": If "Only Girl (In The World)" doesn't get your energy up, check your pulse.  You may not have one.
  • Alter Bridge, "AB III": Creed taking another break?  Or does Edge need a new theme song?
  • Kid Cudi, "Man On The Moon 2: The Legend Of Mr. Roger": Supposed to be a concept album. ... 'Kay.
  • Twista, "The Perfect Storm": Is this his first album since "Overnight Celebrity"?  Damn kids, get off my lawn!
  • Lil' Boosie, Webbie, Lil' Trill & Trill Fam, "All Or Nothing": Did these guys decide to do a bunch of EP's and put them together?
  • Now 36: For those of you that don't like to download singles individually.
  • Dave Matthews Band, "Live In New York City":If his cover of "All Along The Watchtower" is here, I'll check it out.
  • Elvis Costello, "National Ransom": This guy is a LEGEND.  And he's married to Diana Krall.  I am willing to check out anything this guy does once.  Plus, he was the first to change a performance mid-stream on "SNL".
Have a great week, kids!
