TV on DVD Buzz

Last week was fun and while I didn’t get everything in the right order I did get 8 out of 10. How did you do? Let’s have a bit of fun again and list which ones you think will be in the pick for the week. Make sure to leave your predictions in the comments and come back on Monday to find out if you were right.

Okay as for my predictions, it seems I did get 8 out of the ten but not in the right order. Will you play with me next week?

Dr. Seuss; Horton Hears a Who raked in $45.1 million. I expected this one being the first especially since it is a kid movie and everyone growing up has read at least one Dr.Seuss book. Horton hears a Who is all about Horton the elephant hearing a tiny voice on a flower and decides he must protect it at all costs.

My kids are hooked on all those Disney programs that are always on tv from Mickey Mouse to Life with Derek or Suite Life of Zach and Cody. They’d love it if they could watch it all day, every day but they can’t. But now Disney has a movie club. I had no clue they were doing this until someone asked me if I was a member. So far, I’m not a member, but only because I need to sort out my bills first. I think this is a great program, kind of like NetFlix or Blockbuster but for kids.

Right now you can get in on the Disney deal and get 4 movies for $1.99 each plus free shipping and handling. Can’t beat that right? Movies such as Ratatouille, Meet the Robinsons, Cars, Fox and Hound or even Mary Poppins 40th Anniversary Edition.

Begin Your Disney DVD Collection Today - Join Disney Movie Club!

Will you be joining? Let me know how you like it if you do. This sounds like a great plan. Think back to when you were a kid, what types of movies did you like? Was there a favorite Disney show/movie you liked? If so maybe they have it listed. I know I’ve looked for a ton of movies at movie rentals and either they were scratched or didn’t have them. Disney Movie club has a ton to go through though. Soar through the air with Aladin and then take a hop on a floating log with Davy Crocket, but don’t forget to use your imagination just like in Winnie the Pooh.

Horton Hears a Who! comes out in theater today! This is definitely one I want to see, but it won’t be happening this week, but I’d love to hear your take on it.

Horton Hears a Who! is from the old story from Dr.Seuss, Horton the elephant finds a a small flower with a speck of dust on it. Luckily for the people of Whoville he doesn’t just blow it off, instead of just being a speck of dust it is an entire community of little people living on it. Horton develops a friendship with the Who people and realizes he must keep the flower safe in order to save them.

Jim Carrey plays the voice of Horton.

“There is a man that has 96 daughters and 1 son and all share a bathroom. EEEKkkk!”

I thought some of you would like to have a little fun with me, while none of these movies are TV shows they will eventually be on the television. So, I thought we could predict what movies would be a hit for the weekend. Some will be no brainers but others are a bit trickier. With each list I’ll write a brief of the movies coming to theater and a list of the ones I think will make it. I’d love to see you take part.

Wanna play?

TV:

Tin Man - It’s the Wizard of Oz, okay not really. Azkadellia, sorceress, has scorched the once beautiful land of Oz and only DG and a few other Oz related characters must figure out a way to stop the evil witch. But it seems that every time DG is getting settled in she wakes up back into the reality of living in her home, outside of Oz. Sound familiar? While this does sound like our beloved show, this one has twists and turns you won’t believe.

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who (Deluxe Edition)- No, it’s not the BIG movie that’ll be in theaters on March 14th, but it’s definitely something worth getting for your young ones. Did you know March 3 was Dr.Seuss’ birthday? Celebrate with your own Horton Hears a Who. Horton the Elephant hears a Who on a tiny little Daisy and finds out Whoville is in trouble and needs him to help.

I hate to say this but I think I’ll wait until next week to rent DVDs, the hubby didn’t have a high opinion of Beowulf and there are only two movies below that I want to see. Those are 30 Days of Night and Death at a Funeral. What are your picks?

Hi, I’m Eliza, you may have seen me around 451press on a few other blogs. I hope you’ll enjoy this site and any reviews I do. I always love hearing feedback and opinions so don’t forget to leave a comment. As far as I go, I’m the DVD Chic in my area. Every week I head down to my local DVD Play machine and purchase all the new releases, while I may not be able to get all of them I do keep going back until I do…or I rent them on tv.

Have you seen any good movies lately? DVD or theater? This past week I watched:

DVD:
American Gangster
Sydney White
Becoming Jane
No Reservations (I’ll have to buy it, I loved it so much)
Michael Clayton

Movies (in Theaters):
Spiderwick Chronicles
Hannah Montana Movie 3D

I hate summer hiatus. I always feel lost without my shows. This is the reason I have come to love DVDs so much. Instead of wasting my time on horrendous reality shows, I can fill the void with all my old favorites and even catch up on shows I didn’t get a chance to watch.

They’re perfect for those who don’t have HBO or Showtime but always wanted to watch The Sopranos or Queer as Folk. They’re great for people without TiVo who never get to watch LOST or The Office because of their schedule. They’re also great for rewatching all of your old favorites from years gone by like I Dream of Jeannie or Dallas.  (more…)
