The Fighter DVD, is released on March 15, 2011, it runs for 115 mins. It is the story of Micky Ward (played by Mark Wahlberg), who grew up in working-class Massachusetts.

Hereafter is released on DVD, March 15, 2011, it has a running time of 129 minutes.
Hereafter is directed by Clint Eastwood, and it tells the story of three people who all suffer some experience that changes their life. George played by Matt Damon, has psychic powers after a childhood illness but just wants to lead a normal life, and forget about his powers. While French journalist Marie (Cecile de France) has a near-death experience when she is caught up in the Indian Ocean earthquake. An event that will totally shadow her life.
Then there is Marcus (Frankie and George McLaren), only a school boy when he loses his twin brother. Another event that will totally change his life and his beliefs. When their lives, and paths cross they are all looking for answers.

In all honesty I think that The Tourist is going to be a film you either love or hate, a bit like Marmite. The coupling of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp is, I find a bit odd, I don't know why.
But when you see a film with these two big stars in it I think that people might expect a big movie with lots of action, car chases you know what I mean I am sure.
But that is not what this movie is, it is more of a thriller, like they used to make them. A bit slower, and wonderfully filmed, so bear this in mind if you are thinking of watching it.
The Tourist tells the story of Elise, a mysterious woman who meets an unsuspecting Frank, on a train from Paris to Venice. Frank is simply a math teacher from Wisconsin who is on holiday, then before he knows it is caught up in a chase through Venice. With some very good supporting actors such as Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell and not to mention Timothy Dalton, it is an enjoyable movie.
I would recommend you check out these REVIEWS first before you decide to see it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows(part one) is released to DVD on April 15, 2011, and has a run time of 146 minutes.
So the long awaited Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes to DVD this month. It will lead us nicely onto the cinema release of part two, the final installment of the Harry Potter movies. Deathly Hallows(part one) takes Harry, Hermione and Ron on the road to find the Horcruxes, which are objects that contain parts of Voldemort's soul. This is a darker movie than the ones that have gone before, and there is not the usual supporting cast that we expect. Hogwarts is kind of behind them as they go off on their own. Still the acting is good, and so too is the scenery, if you have seen all the other Harry Potter movies this one is a must, as it leads up to the final big show down.
