This Tuesday's New DVD Releases

The final Tuesday in March 2009 ended with some solid choices for DVD purchases that you can enjoy at home anytime. Here's the lineup:

Marley & Me
Newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) move from Michigan to our very own West Palm Beach, Florida to start a new life with their baby, a puppy named Marley. The twelve pound yellow Labrador, grows into a 100-pound canine that seemingly destroys everything in his path. Similar to a certain Saint Bernard predecessor (Beethoven), he flunks obedience school, chews off dry-wall, takes a bite out of the sofa, overturns garbage cans, steals a Thanksgiving turkey, consumes pillows and flowers, drinks toilet water, and chases the UPS guy. However, in the midst of it all, the couple's life is more enriching with Marley than without him.


Seven Pounds
Overridden with guilt in the newest dramatic film by movie titan Will Smith, this tale of burden, romance, and lost love is a strong performance for Will Smith as he plays Ben Thomas, an IRS agent with a mission to redeem his own soul by significantly changing the lives of seven strangers he chooses.




Slumdog Millionaire
The 8-time Academy Award winning movie dominated Oscar night in 2009 and now seeks DVD glory. Mumbai teenager Jamal Malik grew up in the slums but becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" and is on the verge of winning it all. However, after the end of the show's episode for the day, he is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.




Yes Man
Jim Carrey gets back to his comedic roots as Carl Allen, a guy whose life is going nowhere fast and has a nasty habit of saying "no" to everything. How we do solve the problem? Say "yes" to everything! Signing up for a self-help program based on saying "yes" to everything and anything begins to change his life in crazy and fortunate ways, from promotions at work to a new romance. However, he quickly learns that saying "yes" to everything may backfire in his face...or does it?
