Some not so exciting movies came out on DVD today. Well at least I don’t find it all that exciting. If you have a kid they might be interested in the release of Bratz: The Movie. This is a live action movie based on a popular line of dolls. Personally I have to say ick!

Also released is a movie for Saturday Night Live fans: Hot Rod. This movie was written by SNL writer Akiva Schaffer and also stars a few of its current actors Andy Samberg, Bill Hader and Chris Parnell. The movie might have some hope of being good because it also stars Ian McShane, Sissy Spacek, Will Arnett, and Borat’s fiance Isla Fisher. I love Andy and Isla so I’ll probably end up renting this one.

One movie that I’m actually excited to rent that came out today is The Namesake. Based on the novel by Jhumpa Lahiri, this movie is about the struggle of an American born man’s struggle with his family’s traditional ways. Kal Penn of Harold & Kumar’s adventures might surprise you in this movie with his serious side. Make sure you have tissues handy though because I hear this one is a real tear jerker.

Here are more movies out today:

• Mr. Bean’s Holiday
• Return to Neverland
• Waitress

Check out this trailer for Jessica Alba’s new movie called The Eye. If you’re thinking it’s just another movie where Jessica Alba is super sexy and half naked you’d be wrong. From the looks of the trailer it seems to be a scary thriller about a blind woman who gets a pair of creepy eyes that let her see ghosts or something. It’s set to hit theatres February 1st and I can’t wait. Way to go Jessica!

If you’re a big fan of the Alien and Predator movies like my husband, you’ll be thrilled to know that this Christmas, a sequel to the action-packed Alien Vs. Predator movie is coming to theaters. It looks even more gruesome and violent than the first one. If you’re into that, I’m sure you’re excited.

Check out the preview below but be aware: it has both lots of graphic violence and swearing. NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE KIDS! Enjoy.

When a Predator scout ship crash lands in a Colorado town. The Aliens on board escape and kill all the Predators except one… Warring alien and predator races descend on a small town, where unsuspecting residents must band together for any chance of survival.
