The top 5 most popular TV shows this week at Amazon are:

True Blood - I haven’t seen any of this series yet but I’ve been told it is suppose to be really good. It is currently on HBO for those of you that want to watch it, it began airing September 7th at 9 p.m.  For those that aren’t aware this t.v. series is based off the book series, "Sookie Stackhouse" by Charlaine Harris, which means it is bound to be good. There’s even going to be a season two so there is definitely time to get into it. (this is more your vampire story)

Indiana Jones-  I’ve commented below on why this would be a hit. But for those that don’t know…Indiana Jones is always finding himself getting tossed into adventures where he has to save someone, most of the time himself included. But in the end he always finds the treasure…or does he?

Star Wars Trilogy-  This is just one of those that’ll always be loved, with the new tv cartoon Star Wars Clone Wars I can imagine why this got hot.

Dexter: Season 3-  Dexter’s girlfriend, Rita, will find out she’s pregnant and ask him what she should do. Will they keep the baby? Of course everyone will be

tuning in for this one. Not only is this a show where you never know what will happen now a character is pregnant with the goofball of the show. Hey, ya just gotta love Dexter.

The Lord of the Rings-  This is one of those that like Star Wars, will never go away. It was created in 1954 in print and later would become a huge movie. It’s timeless.

Keep in mind these are just those things being watched and looked out for.

I’m not shocked by Indiana Jones since it was released on the 14th of October. I mean who doesn’t want to see Indie in action. Right? Star Wars and Lord of the Rings has always been hot movies. With Halloween coming up I can see more people dressing like "Star Wars" or "Lord of the Rings" figures, which is probably the reason for the up in sales for these two, not to mention it’s just that good.

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of some movies/tv shows? Family Guy likes to gather everyone around the table before they tape their gags to see if they work. Follow along and get the feel for the actual family. 

David A Goodman, executive producer for Family Guy discusses the gags. One instance is the war gag and the night before they were to put it in there was a lot of discussion on whether or not it should be added. Many are happy it was added, after all its Family Guy and great for laughs, especially for Peter.

What’s your favorite Family Guy episode?

For those that don’t know The Princess Tiana is an American Fairy tale set in New Orleans during the 20s, aka, Jazz age. Many are excited as this is Disney’s very first Black Disney Princess.  It was just earlier this year that actress, Angelina Jolie would ask, “Where are Disney’s Black Princesses?” do to her own little girl, Z wanting to be a princess. It looks like her wish was granted. (the movie was already being made)

The Princess and the Frog does not come out until 2009, but I’m sure many will be waiting to watch more trailers as well as stay in very long lines to see it.

Will the trailer give anything away, no, not unless you’ve read the book. Keep in mind this is the gang’s sixth year of being at the school. You’ll see Harry approach the cauldron, see Dumbledore. Ginny staring at Harry during their meals, Ron with a girl and much more.

There are no words, just images that flash. Watch as Hermoine shakes her head no and look as if she were crying. Someone (child-like) boating out of a cave. A fight with wands, Snape talking to someone outside the school. A giant face hovers above the school. Will this be the best Harry Potter movie yet?

Penelope, Meet Bill, Spiderwick and many others.

Since this is also a TV on DVD blog I’ve included TV series that have hit DVD like the 70s show, the Office and others. I do hope you enjoy and find it a bit useful.

Rumors are filling up the net that Ian McKellen  will be once again coming back to the big film. What for? Oh, his famous, "Gandalf" role, this time it’ll be for "The Hobbit."

It hasn’t been official yet, but I believe he’s an in. Who else are they going to have play him? He’s already played it once, it’ll be like putting on a pair of old pants.

According to Empire Magazine:

"He confirmed that I would be reprising the role.  Obviously, it’s not a part that you turn down, I loved playing Gandalf."

Yes, I know I forgot to give you my predictions but I won’t forget this week. So here is the list from this past weekend. It shouldn’t shock you that Dr. Seuss’ “Horton Hears a Who” is still in the theaters and still making the top 10 list, actually this week they made #6 so it is slowly going off the list. Horton has already made over $125,000 in theaters and the DVD sales are yet to come.

1 Prom Night- This is one I defnitely want to see. Imagine going to a prom knowing a big dark secret and a serial killer telling you he wasn’t done with you yet. Donna’s prom night is anything but fun when a pyscho from her past is out of prison and makes her and her friends the target of his obsession.

2 Street Kings- Tom Ludlow has already lost his wife and now he’s going up against the entire police force, they were once brothers in arms but now they think he has executed a member of their own. Life will be anything but smooth.

3 21- You already know about this one, they are a hot young group that wants to take over Vegas. The one problem is Vegas doesn’t want them in their casinos because they’ve figured out how to win.

4 Nim’s Island- A little girl’s imagination has created an island and now her father is missing and only one person can help and together they must overcome their fears.

5 Leatherheads- It’s the sporting movie of the season when this 1920’s football team brings you to the theater to watch a team go broke and makes a comeback and wins the season.

Finally Dr.Suess’ Horton Hears a Who came in 6th place rolling in $6 million for the weekend. Smart People, The Ruins, SuperHero Movie and Drillbit Taylor.

Leatherheads, Dr.Seuss, Horton Hears a Who, Nim’s Island, Prom Night, movie release, box winners

This week I did pretty good with 9 out of 10 winning picks, now to start working on figuring out the correct order. How did you all do? Don’t forget we play every week, so just check out the predictions and come back every Monday to find out if they were correct.

21 has brought in $15.1 million just this weekend alone, bringing its total to which means yes, they not only took money from Vegas but America as well. This is one movie that keeps rolling in the money.

Leatherheads with George Clooney was expected to be a big hit, while it did draw in the money it didn’t beat out 21. What happens when you get the best to join a winning team but then the coach falls the player’s finace? The story all takes place in the year 1925, the team goes broke and they must figure out how to pull in the money to make it to games.

Nim’s Island is all about a little girl’s imagination come true, she’s dreamed up the island and when it takes her father she must come face to face with her favorite author, Alex Rover and their worst fears.

Horton Hears a Who is still drawing in the winners, there are tons of kids that just want to watch this giant elephant take a little flower to safety. Not to mention Jim Carrey plays a voice in it which always draws in an audience.

The Ruins takes you on a trip with a group to Mexico where no one wants to go near this group and slowly they learn there is something evil amongst the ruins. There will be snakes, creepy crawly things, hands grabbing, screaming and crying.

Superhero Movie is when the “Dragonfly” meets up with the “Hourglass.” This is suppose to be one of those laugh out loud movies.

Meet the Browns is all about a single mother never meeting her father and finding out he’s dead, now she must take her family and meet her father’s side of the family. The two families are total opposites.

Drillbit Taylor, Shutter and 10,000BC is still making money, this weekend it made $2.8million.

Nim’s Island- A little girl inhabits an island and anything she imagined happens, everything seems to come straight out of a series called “The Rover Books.” She doesn’t meet the author of the books until her own father goes missing and the two must work together to overcome their fear to take back Nim’s Island.

The Ruins- A group that are vacationing in Mexico come across evil living in the ruins. Wanna watch it?

Shine a Light- The Rolling Stones reunite for the Bigger Bang.

So My pick:

I believe 21 and Horton will be sticking around the top two for a bit, after all who doesn’t want to watch a group of geeks win money and lots of it from Vegas. As for Horton, he’s every person’s childhood memory, everyone wants to relive it and children just love him.

21
Horton
Leatherheads
Nim’s Island
Meet The Browns
The Ruins
Drillbit
Run, Fatboy, Run
SuperHero Movie
Shutter
