Another Tuesday means another set of new movies coming out to DVD. I must say this week I’m pretty excited because The Reader starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes is coming out and Kate Winslet is my favorite actress. I’m not too familiar with what the movie is about but I’m pretty much a fan of anything Kate Winslet does. The Spirit is also coming out to DVD as a two-disc special edition and The Caller starring Frank Langella who was nominated for an Academy Award. Also, Dark Matter with Meryl Streep and Aiden Quinn, as well as, Splinter.

Several years after the older woman disappears they become in contact again when it becomes public she is being held for a Nazi war crime trial. Winslet won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her performance in the film.
The Spirit has several big names in it Gabriel Macht, Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson. Gabriel Macht plays a masked avenger who plans to alleviate the crime ridden streets of Central City. Once a fine cop his life was ended by a bullet and has been brought back as a Spirit to face those criminals he didn’t defeat during his life.
The Caller stars Frank Lengella who was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor in Frost/Nixon. Lengella plays a senior VP for a corporation who set up his own assassination after sending an anonymous email alluding to his death. By bringing his company into the picture because before his disappearance Langella’s character sending an email showing the companies deflated sales and two members of the company spring into action to find the culprit behind the leak.
