It’s March already! Let the Movie Maddness begin! This week we have a group of new movie releases for you on DVD and at Redbox.

Footloose: This movie starring Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Julianne Hough shows how a movie remake can stand up to a new audience. I think that this film does a good job of sticking to the plot of the original movie while keeping up to date and entertaining. All in all a good movie remake and a decent ‘feel-good’ movie

Immortals: I have personally not seen this movie however I have heard from many of guys who have gone to see it expecting something along the lines of the movie 300, and that Immortals was a sad disappointment. Apparently action and CGI cannot make up for a bad plot and an overall bad movie, save your time and just watch 300 again.

Jack & Jill: If you can stand Adam Sandler doing an effeminate voice for more than 5 minutes this movie is for you! Reminiscent of his movie Grown-Ups, it is a family movie but still holds onto Adam Sandler’s slap-stick sense of humor. I would have never imagined Katie Holmes in an Adam Sandler movie but I guess when you are married to a nut job like Tom Cruise you will do about anything just to get out of the house, but in all honesty the movie isn’t half bad.

Also New to Amazon:

Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season

Monty Python and the Holy Grail on Blu-Ray
