December is traditionally a good month for DVD releases, because many of the top summer movies make their disc debuts in time for the holidays. This year is certainly no exception, with some of the best family films and adult dramas of the year set to appear on store shelves.
For younger kids/families:
“The Smurfs” – Dec. 2; “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” – Dec. 6″; “Kung Fu Panda 2” – Dec. 13; “Dolphin Tale” – Dec. 20
For action/sci fi fans:
“Cowboys and Aliens” – Dec. 6; “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” – Dec. 13
For adults:
“The Help” – Dec. 6; “Contagion” – Dec. 16; “Midnight in Paris” – Dec. 20
For Gleeks:
“Glee: The Concert Movie” – Dec. 20
Even though I didn’t like all of these films, that’s a pretty impressive line-up. I expect a lot of these will end up under the tree on Christmas morning in home all over the movie world. There’s a few I’m hoping to see under mine and a couple (“Cowboys and Aliens”, “Glee”) that if I get them I’ll know I must have been really bad this year.
