If you like kids movies get ready, because Ice Age 3 is thawing its way onto disc and Tinkerbell now has her own movie as part of the worst three DVDs of the week. Plus, in a different type of kids movie Orphan is scaring its way onto the small screen.
Of course, there’s films for grown-ups as well with Woody Allen’s latest and a Costa-Gavras’ initial classic getting the full silver-disced treatment. Which is good, because there’s little to no TV this week! For shame!

Say what you want about Katherine Heigl, the girl knows how to pick a movie that will be a hit. This week she stars in Robert Luketic’s film The Ugly Truth with Gerald Butler. So what is the “ugly truth” that we will be spending our hard earned money trying to figure out? That women love with their heart and men love with other body parts. Although the concept is nothing new, the chemistry between Heigl and Butler makes the movie a must see, at least for girly-girls everywhere.
And if you like watching freakishly scary little girls who try and kill the members of the new family they are adopted into, then you should catch Jaume Collet-Serra’s film Orphan starring Isabelle Fuhrman. I don’t know about this film, it seems like a scarier version of the 1993 film The Good Son where Macaulay Culkin successfully portrays the crazy young child trying to kill others.

What is it about children that scares us so much? From the little girls playing jump rope singing “one two, Freddy’s coming for you,” to adorable killer vampire children in Let the Right One In horror films love scary, possessed, killers children. Think about it. Horror films have one of two things: Boobs or scary children. If there isn’t some stupid blond running around half naked covered in blond there is a child trying to kill you in some way. You have Danny from The Shining yelling “REDRUM,” the attack of the killer blond children in The Village of the Damned and the freaky devil child from Unborn; scary movies love having freaky children.
Orphan is about a husband (Peter Sarsgaar) and wife (Vera Farmiga) who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl (Isabelle Fuhrman) named Esther.
