If you like movies, this is probably a good weekend to catch up on some old Netflix or flip around Turner Classic Movies because the movie pickings are drastically scarce. How scarce? The most legitimate movie hitting shelves this week stars Miley Cyrus. Yeesh!
On the other hand, we’ve just entered they “Get Ready for Fall TV” portion of the DVD calendar – which means lots of great shows are unleashing seasons on silver discs including “Dexter”, “Cougar Town” and “Friday Night Lights”. So, catch up if you’re behind (though you can probably skip the first couple discs of “Cougar Town”).

Nowadays, it seems like every romance drama is based on a book by Nicholas Sparks. His latest adaptation, The Last Song is directed by Julie Anne Robinson and stars Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth and Greg Kinnear. Cyrus plays Ronnie Miller, a rebellious teen and a talented musician (a real stretch there) who reluctantly moves in with her dad and finds romance with Will (Hemsworth). The plot is generic like all Sparks films, so it will be up to the actors and the director to make it worth watching.
Next we’ve got Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans, which is a good alternative for those of you who are into fantasy and action. The remake of the 1981 Greek epic focuses the mortal son of Zeus who embarks on a perilous journey to stop Hades from spreading his evil to Earth as well as the heavens. The film stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes. If you’re down for an indie drama you should check out, Shana Feste’s The Greatest, which stars Pierce Brosnan, Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon, and Aaron Johnson. The story is part romance, part heartbreak, part family life.
