Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is out with more of everything that you loved in the first movie. See lots of new bots, and see lots of new bots get blown to bits and torn to shreds. This is why we love summer blockbusters!
You'll have to wait until November for the encore/prequel, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. But in the meantime, the pilot for the 2010 even-before-that-prequel, Caprica, is out on DVD. And it's well worth watching. See our review.
Some good movies out on DVD in recent weeks. Outlander (Vikings vs. aliens!), the Kristen Bell (who thankfully looks nothing like Christian Bale) comedy about Star Wars Fanboys, and Look, a movie told from the point of view of surveillance cameras.
