The DVD picks are back after a Memorial Day holiday and what a week to return! Not only are we loaded down with a Best Picture nominee and a comedy semi-smash, but TV on DVD is out in full force as well.
That’s right, we’re on both ends of the movie spectrum here as the prestigious True Grit becomes the final 2010 Best Picture nominee to make its journey to DVD on the same day that Adam Sandler’s Just Go With It is available to buy. Talk about counter-programming.
All that, plus just about every single cable show you’d ever want to watch and a movie that features Gordon Ramsay acting.
Check it out below…

Last weekend’s box office winner The Green Hornet will find itself sliding to the number two spot because Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman’s No Strings Attached should have enough steam to plow the competition. Moviegoers will find themselves catching up with last weekend’s Golden Globe winners as well as leftover holiday fare such as Little Fockers and Tron Legacy. All in all it should be an interesting weekend at the theater.
And now on to our predictions…..

After two whole weeks at the top, Little Fockers (movie review) have surrendered the No. 1 spot to the charms of Hailee Steinfeld of True Grit (movie review) — oh yeah, and the amazing Jeff Bridges (interview), Matt Damon, Barry Pepper and Josh Brolin. The Coen brothers western grossed a successful, yet humble $15 million. Unfortunately the new Nicolas Cage movie, Season of the Witch (review roundup) failed to bring in audiences (could that have to do with the fact that it seems like they forgot to market it?) came in at No. 3, bringing in a bit over $10 million.

Many thought Little Fockers (movie review) would be a huge mistake, and that it may have been for the critics but not the piggy bank. The third movie in the Meet the Parents franchise brought in over $34 million this Christmas weekend. The Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro movie was followed by the new Coen’s western True Grit (movie review). Unfortunately Tron Legacy wasn’t intriguing enough to keep up it’s number one spot even before it made back half its money, people must be a bit disappointed.

Jeff Bridges has two movies in theaters this month, Tron Legacy and True Grit. They’re very different in every sense of the word. One is a rusty and tough Western and the other is a sleek and polished fantasy flick. The one thing they have in common is Bridges and the talent and feeling that only he can bring. While out promoting his latest film with the Coen Brothers ( he also worked with them on The Big Lebowski) he spoke about making the jump from Crazy Heart to Tron to True Grit, and the preparation he went through to make the transition. He also revealed how nervous he was to take on a role previously played by John Wayne and what the Coen’s had to do to convince him to star in the film.

It’s been close to 42 years since we last saw the escapades of Rooster Cogburn and Mattie Ross on the big screen in True Grit. The original 1969 film was directed by Henry Hathaway and featured John Wayne in his only Oscar winning role. So when the acclaimed directing team of Joel and Ethan Coen decided to adapt the Charles Portis novel of the same name, they had their work cut out for them. When we attended the press conference for this month’s True Grit, we discovered that the directors didn’t look at their film as a remake but a retelling of the book. Find out what the Coens, actos Jeff Bridges and Barry Pepper, and cinematographer Roger Deakins had to say about their journey from the page to the screen…
